Never Grown Before ... starting with a bulk grow

I want to know how bad of an idea this is. I have never grown shrooms before and instead of starting out with PF cakes I plan to go for a bulk straw grow using ShroomGods Staw Tek. I have been reading as many straw grow logs as I can and I also just set up a LC. I have all the supplies to start my grow so I am just waiting for the LC and then I will colonize my WBS cakes. Is this a bad idea? What are some common problems with starw grows? What should I look out for? I also plan to set up a grow log and update pictures every 3 days so everyone can help me out on things like re-casing and warm me if theres possible contamination ect.

I started out with PF Tek style cakes and it was pretty easy. The hardest part is getting everything colonized without getting contams, which I didn't really have a problem with. I'm going to be starting a bulk grow myself soon and am going with WBS to h/poo. I'm thinking this won't be too much more difficult, but you should give yourself some extra insurance. Do a bunch of WBS jars. More than you think you'll need. Make sure you're very careful when inoculating, and keep everything very sterile. If you get your WBS to colonize right you probably won't have much trouble getting your straw colonized and getting everything else done. First time around I would just suggest you find a tek that tried and true (like you did) and stick to what that thing says. Once you've run it through once or twice you will have a better understanding of what to do and how things work, and you can experiment on your own from there!

Yes dude, go right ahead! My first grow I cased and for the life of me couldn't figure out why people warned against it, it was so damn easy and so much better than doing cakes!
My second grow, I'm using the same exact Tek you are, except I'm useing BRF/verm to spawn to straw. Jars fully colonizing tomorow... Lets keep each other updated. Growing partners.

Don't worry about starting with PF if you'd rather start with bulk. The key is that you understand the concepts, and a lot are hard for people to learn without seeing success (which, with pf, is basically assured so long as you can follow instructions).
Just follow thigns closely. If you see something you don't understand, just ask. Bulk is basically the same concept as PF but you have to pay a little more attention to things, and you have to take a few extra steps. The payoff is worth it though.
Good luck!
