Well my first grow is about to start i used 2 week old jars cause my vendor wouldnt ship the spores during the heat wave . ALL my jars are doing great been 12 days got 4 at 90% the other 4 range from 20-50%, pretty good seeing i jus kept them in a box (tempeture range has been from the 60s-85 . Iam going to case 50/50 verm and coir with 10% orysters shells. Iam using koh superstrain, any 1 have any tips or a diff way i should case it maybe a link to put up.

You don't do anything different in your casing technique no matter what strain of cubensis you have. They all have the same growing parameters.

Edit: i know some of u done this alot is it jus as exciting the first as say the 10th time? or is like a roller coster once you ride the first time its not a exciting anymore? also i will be giving some prints away to those who have helped me and responeded with advice.

are you planning on putting all 8 jars into a single casing? or split them up into multiple casing. your total yeild/fruit size will ultimately depend on your substrate depth, so keep this in mind.
i personally would recommend doing multiple casing, with maybe 4 jars in each, or even 4 casing of 2 jars each. i say this just in case you run into contamination. if you put all of your eggs in one basket and your crop develops contams, your out of luck.
splitting your cakes into multiple casing ensures that if one gets contaminated you still have another casing to pull you through until your next grow.
just something to think about, but good luck with the grow.

No one is really going to be able to give you an accurate guess on how much your going to to yield. It depends on your substrate, how well your able to get a decent pinset, making sure all your fruiting conditions are optimal.
On your first grow, go for success, not huge yields. Work your way up from there man. I'm not trying to tell you not to try more advanced methods. My first grow I Did Rye and cased it. Second I spawned to Poo. I'm just saying don't expect huge yields, be happy with doing it successfully.

Probobly some of the simplest, best advice for newbies I've ever seen on these boards.

if you take a trip to your local grocery store, see if you can find the square ziplock plastic microwavable containers. i dont know the exact measurements, but they look to be about 6in x 6in. these work great for casings, and fit two half pint jars perfectly with room for verm on the bottom, and a casing layer on top.
i would stay away from foil pans only because there have been reports of myc eating right through the aluminum, and im sure you dont want that. all you need to do is place some duct tape around the container so that pins form only on the top.
you can see how mine worked out great:

i really hope you try casing some of your cakes. i was surprised how easy it was, and the results so far are amazing. good luck.
