Hello everyone I am new here and planning to start growing within the month. I just have a few questions regarding my planned method. I am going to go with the basic BRF cakes and put them in a terrarium with perlite. I have read that you should not have holes in the tub and just fan it every once and a while but I saw a TEK on you tube and they drilled many holes in their terrarium. What would be the best way to go? If I use this method will the only maintenance I will have to do is fan from time to time? Also, what would be the best strain to use that is easiest for beginners and has the best yield. Finally, I think I am going to go with spores from Ralphsters, is this a good place or are there other suggestions. Thanks for you help.

The 6-sided shotgun tek works best. Drill many holes in all sides of the terrarium. Make sure you elevate the bottom well off the ground, this is where I ran into issues with maintaining humidity.

Also make sure you mist at least 2-3 times a day and fan the chamber. The more misting and fanning the better.

Cheers

Do I mist directly on the cakes or just the sides of the terrarium

Just the sides of the terrarium mostly, you can mist the cakes very gently if you have them coated in verm.

Just a pick a strain and try it. You will learn which ones you like :smile:  The variations are pretty slight.

RR has tons of hole if his FC. he probably has 75 pencil sized holes in it.
My FC only has the hole that it came with, But I have a 100gah air pump hooked up to it.

Check this thread out for strain info.

How many syringes should I order? I have about the same size terrarium as the RR TEK had. How many cakes can be colonized with 1 syringe. Also, if all goes well I should not have to buy spores again I can just make my own right?

Absolutely! The last time I purchased a syringe, I bought 4. I still have 3 left and I've made about 50 prints so far from the grow I got from it. Those 50 prints will make at least 200 syringes if I wanted to go that rout.

Once I get the spores in the mail will anything happen to them if I do not inoculate my jars right away? How should I store the spores until they are ready for use?

Is the video on YouTube you are referring too titled "Let's Grow Mushrooms Part - ??"? if so then that is Roger Rabbit (RR) and Roadkills video.

Make sure they're sealed and just toss them in your fridge, and they'll store until you need them.
