Research the pf tek. Buy some half pint wide mouth jars. Vermiculite and brown rice (flour) make good substrates. Get your hands on a pressure cooker, then come back and as questions. No one is going to 'tell' you how to grow when there is enough reading on this site to keep you busy until 2008.

it all depends how much money you want to spend/how much you want to grow/how much effort you want to put into it.
the 'search' function will be your best friend in this case.
plus, look at all the teks that shroomery has to offer. they have some good ones. if you are starting out and dont want to spend that much cash or want to put forth that much effort, i would say go with pf tek, which has a decent yield with minimal effort.

i currently just started started my first time grow
so first: do alot of research on best ways to start a grow, besides the guides they have here on shroomery theres also a guide on fungifun.org which i felt pretty usefull.
also theres a few good movies on youtube wich explain the basics
also go to home depot or something and buy vermiculite its pretty cheapp like a 10 pound bag for liek 10 bucks, and buy some natural brown rice, also very cheap.
like i said just do some research ask the good needed questions and gett going!
thats what i did, and im ready to see how mine are turnin out

welcome to the forum man!
You might want to look into the PF tek for growing mushrooms. (Especially if you don't have a pressure cooker) If you have a pressure cooker there are easy tek's to follow such as: -wbs tek -rye tek -spawning to bulk You can either go grains, which involve spawning to bulk or invitro. Where as the PF tek method can be fruited as cakes.
(Try search all of the underlined terms in the search bar with the "Search Our Forum" icon selected above.)
cheers,

It's always recommended to start with the PF tek. Here are some links that you will find really helpful.

Im about to start too. I ordered 20cc's of Amazonians. Anyone have any suggestions on what tek I should use to grow the most with this limited amount of spores Im about to get? And also, Im still pretty confused about how much I should use per jar. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

use 0.5CC per inoculation hole.
As for highest yield... look into: 1- Manure Bulk (Hpoo = Horse Poo) 2- Coir Bulk
Also Look into Monotubs/Doubletubs/Martha setup.

highest yields Will mostly come from Monotub/doubletub/martha setups which are all automated but involve a little more cash.
cost orientation:
Monotub(cheapest) DoubleTub(slightly more expensive) Martha (by far the most expensive)

1cc per 1/2 pint pf jar is more than enough, that is 0.25 cc per hole. Even less will work. I get 12 jars out of a 10cc syringe.

very true... alot less will work, but in my experience the more you inject the more surface area that will begin to colonize.
