Opinions Needed on Commencing Project

Okay. First off, I want to thank everyone who's been taking the time to answer my questions either here on the forum or in private messages/emails. I really appreciate the advice and tips!
Now...onto my next question for everyone. Naturally I'm eager to get a lot of fruits for my own journies...but since I'm doing this for myself...how many cakes should I be looking to use at once? I ordered 3 different strains; one syringe each of Ecuadors, Mazatapecs and Puerto Ricans. I really want to try casing the Ecuadors and Mazs right away but after reading how aggressive the PR mycellium are I plan on simply fruiting them as cakes in the PF Tek fashion. Would you guys think I should just use cakes for all three for the first time through to ensure less loss if I encounter contams? I realize that if I lose one cake it's not as sad as losing an entire tray that was cased with 3 1/2-pint cakes in it.
Also...would you folks recommend doing one strain at a time or do a few cakes of each? Or should I just break down and buy two terrariums and do two different strains at the same time? 10 cakes of Maz in one and 10 of PR in the other?
Just wondering how y'all go about approaching your crops.
Also, I mainly use psychedelics to enhance my music and art as well as aid my meditations. Any advice to other strains of little guys to order and cultivate for these purposes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Love & Light,
Boppity

1 syringe can innoculate 12 jars so I would do 12 jars of each strain. All cakes for your first time and to make it easy I would put them all in one of those huge rubbermaid tubs. When dried and stored properly this should give you enough fruit to last a very long time. Id say 4 or 5 dry ounces total. Just make sure that they are cracker dry before you store them. Thats what I would do anyway...

Hey there dudes,
Thanks for the responses. Bassplayer...I'm kinda curious...the TEKs all say to use 1cc per jar (1/4 cc per hole) and if a syringe is only 10cc full...how are you innoculating 12 jars with one syringe? Just curious...
As far as preservation is concerned I'm going to buy a food dehyrdator that I can turn off the heat with and dry/powder/cap the shrooms. It'll be a good way to control dose (#000 caps when fully packed hold .5 gram of powder) as well as for mixing and matching strains for journies. Like taking 1gram EQs, 1gram MAZs, 1 gram PR's. etc...
Good luck on your crops!
I'm looking forward to this experience. 
Love & Light,
Boppity

Most syringes com with 12cc's of solution. Like the ones from The Little Guy.
