im about to start the process of growing for the first time

I'm going to try the hippie tek. This is more of a "see if i can do this" project than a make-money project. I plan on moving on to bigger methods eventually. I was wondering what strain works well for this method (if speed/potency is more of a factor than volume) or if i should just go for the cheapest cubensis I can find.
Also, what other sterilization methods can be used in place of a pressure cooker?
thanks

I reccomend Ralphstersspores, all spores are 15 dollars. Since this is your frist time then I suggest B+ because its very contam resistent but if you want them soon I suggest the Brazillians because they can colonize a jar in under a week. Since you dont have a pc you can either boil the half pint jars in water for 90 minutes or I can send you a method and container I use that is meant for the microwave.

This is pretty tempting though. What do you use in the microwave?

I make a self contained container that all you do is microwave for 11 miutes, let cool, inoculate. when its finished innoculating you just pour in the casing layer on top of the colonized sub and place a second container on top and place in the sun. It puts out alot, its super easy and it requires no manual humidification or fanning.

not the bowls the rectangular ones and you have to cut holes in the lid then stuff the holes with polyfill, then tape a swatch of tyvek on top to cover the holes and do the same on the other side. microwave for 5 mins without lid and 6 mins with lid on but vented. allow to partialy cool in microwave then seal the lid with tape.

rizomorphic means fast and agressive, my ID picture is an example of rizomorphic mycelium because that jar had been inoculated only 2 days before on it was already half colonized.
