Where to start?

I'm new at this, could anyone help me find a supplier where I can find Spores and a grow kit?
I have been looking at mycrotopia.com, they seem to be bulk suppliers for kits, I want something like their kits in a smaller quantity.
I've already ordered a Mycojar and PC-EQ Syringe from Sporebank.com, But I'm having doubts about them shipping my items at all. I don't have a pressure cooker (for all the half-pint jar teks) and am a little strapped on cash, any insight would be helpful. Thanks

look for a strain you think looks good but please don't ask wich one is the best because they're pretty much all the same.

That should help you, all you need to do is search your local area hardware/garden stores for vermiculite and your health food stores/bulk food stores for Brown rice flour or rye flour.
Take care

Spores101 & Mushbox
But I agree Slimz Dont buy a kit, if any thing just buy the pre-made jars until you can get a PC.
This is the right place to learn how to build your own kit.

You only need the Pressure Cooker for Rye and other solid grains. You can sterilize Brown Rice Flour by just simmering the jars for an hour in a large pot. Do NOT buy a kit... There is no EASY way to do this, you just have to Research, research, research and practice it until you got. Stay sterile. Spores101 is awesome.. Don't ask about strains... people hate it, I'm a strong believer that there are subtle differences between strains, but I'm going to do some control testings just to put all these theories to bed. I might not post my findings, I just want to do it for my own gratification. All you need to know about anything you can find here.. Start with the PF Tek. If you follow it to a tee and maintain sterility in your work area... It's a sure fire. My first run ever using this tek yielded 100% with NO contams.. But I am kinda a neat freak anyways Keep reading check out the PF Tek... Type it in the search field. Good luck. Strains I did not care for B+ and Golden Teacher.. Decent strains, but unless you want to eat 4-5 grams for visuals.. I would go with something Asian (Thai, Cambo) or Mexican...
