Ahhh Hello there friends sorry for my neglegence of posting I have been busy with work and gettin shit...
I got everything I need all I need is the spores which Im ordering today, soo..
I decided a betetr idea was to use my trunk..
I had it in highschool at a military academy its like a foot locker kinda trunk and it locks.
The FC's are those tupperware things that you put cakes in soo it has a moisture lock and 2 will fit comfortably in this trunk allowing 8 cakes to fruit at a time..
The top tray of the trunk will fit over the FC and rest nicely still i nthe trunk with room ontop for the colonizing jars..
All in one nice locked secure unsuspicious location.
Should be fun and i look forward to taking this step in cultivating mushrooms as to further my experience and turn it into an enjoyable hobby with a posotive outcome 
Everything is all packed up right now but I'll get pics of setup tomorrow or so so you can see the setup and I'll post again when I begin the process of inoculation..
I'll stop in often to converse with you all in the mean while =)

Alright Alright, I'm ordering spores today...
For all of your entertainment, lets decide together what kind of spores?
I'll be working off of cakes in 1/2 pint jars closely following the PF Tek.
I was thinkin maybe B+ Strain?
So, what strains will do best/have you had good experiences with on cakes?
Thanks Guys Pics coming very soon.

The Golden Teacher I got from Sporeworks has been a monster thus far.
Check out the Strain Thread if you haven't already... lots of good discussion.

Ya I looked at it already.
I thought B+ maybe cause its said to be very versatile and will grow easily.
Or is this true with Golden Teacher as Well?

Read it but I wanted to hear it first hand from the growers, not the product description. =)

....what... that is first hand from growers by growers....or you could just take yourself to the grow log section and see how the different strains preform in different environments.

Golden Teacher is very easy to grow. My first grow was with it. I wasn't thrilled with the potency though. But that was the first and last time I used BRF/verm cakes. Since then, I haven't had that problem

Hm, I was going to go with B+, then I decided to consider Golden Teacher.
I've heard Golden Teacher has higher potency though, I also know that cultivation methodsn are a alrge part of potency as well..
Therefor I suppose i would have success with either so I think I'm gonna go ahead and go with the B+ for for an inital attempt at success and we'll go from there.
I jsut wanna get a hand at growin mushies before i skip to bulk so this is more or less a trial period for me.
So ordering spores today, and from there we will go.
I'll post pics along the way once it's set up like i said.
I appreciate all the posotive reinforcement/feedback/advice and let me tell you I'd be nowhere fast without you guys.
Merry Christmas to all and keep it coming!

Naw, starting very basic and working my way up.
I plan to do 8 - 10 1/2 pint BRF cakes that I will fruit in 2 Tupperware Cake takers with perlite on the bottom. They will be fruiting in these FC that will be locked inside a trunk and I will go in and open/fan for FAE and misting regularly..They will also be exposed to some light for 12 hours.
Just my little start project and when I get the hang of it I can do bulk, considering I am getting 2 horses in a month that will provide lots of good poo. 
I should be recieving 1 Golden Teacher Spore Syringe probably tomorrow I'm guessing cause the snow is so bad right now where I am.
So happy trails and wish me luck I will post pics like I said when it's all up.
