Simple answer no....

It cost about $30 to get a basic setup going, look at the teks for PF and just do it yourself

Hard to say.

1 case vs 12 cakes

12 cakes if tended to right can and will produce more. Also concider if you get a contam in a cake you lose 1/12. Lose a case and lose 1/1.

Also concider to refil 12 cakes cost about $7 per run

I will not bash you for buying a kit. If you have no experience with growing it is ok. At least you will get sterilized medium and if handled correctly, you should get results. Yes, you could have done it on your own but this kind of guarantees you some success. After growing this one, pay attention to what you get and try on your own. The results are better and the enjoyment is more fulfilling but the failures hurt more too. Its a good way to start. Now you will know how the mushy cycle should go when you try it on your own without a kit.

personally IMO, all i will ever need from the sponsers is a syringe. these kits work great for the lazy ppl i guess, but i feel that if we didnt have people that want to DIY, we would still be using the same shitty methods as yesterday.

Well damn they really don't tell you anything about it at all. I can however guarantee you that you will not have as good an outcome like pictured your first try and surely nowhere near the 500g number they give.

Hopefully this will spark further interest into the hobby for you though and you can do a lot more research on here. It pays off, I promise.

Hey guys at least hes not asking a million newb questions to get results. Hes trying to do it on his own so what if he learns it this way, it will answer so many questions and cure many insecurities he would have otherwise gone through. I never used a kit but I did fail a time or two before getting it. Now I laugh at the kits online. But only cause I know better. I say "good job!" You may have wasted some money, but your education is worth it. Next time make your own kit! Write down your progress as you grow and apply your lessons when you give it a go. And as always, keep reading here on the forum! +5 for self motivation.

thats why you gotta shoot them bitches up w/ MAD LC...if you know howto get your moisture content perfect, you can easily shoot them up w/ 20-30 cc's of LC w/o fuxin up your moisture content
