alright well lets see first i would like to say that this site is awsome tons of info and diiferent ideas and also from reading a lot on this site if you do not agree with the whole popcorn tek then so be it and keep it to yourself i have made up my mind on popcorn and thats it now on to the PLANS
this is going to be my first shot at this so bare with me and my questions ill try not to ask ?s that have been answered a million times just the foggy 1s i decided to go with the popcorn thinking that its not too hard versus cakes i could be wrong but lets hope not i will list plans up to casing since thats where most of my ?s are
prepare qt jars with poly fill soak pop for 24 hrs rinse off pop light boil for 45 to an hour add to jars about 3/4 full cover with lids and foil pc for 1 hour at 15psi (dont have the pc yet but looking) knock up through poly fill hole with syringe let sit and hope for best shake at 30% colonization wait till don
any info or hints on what was just said would be cool but i think thats about it ok now for the casing prep ANY HELP here would be awsome i looking for yeild so if there is something on this site or you just know please share with a noobie in the casing try put layer of verm at (cant remember that term feild something) about 1/2 inch thick then goes the pop now right here is where it gets foggy for me should i mix something with the pop i.e. coir or something and then the top layer i thought would be verm and coir what are the ratios i should be doing here and what should i expect my FC will be a rubbermaid tub with perlite should i put holes in the sides i see some people with and some without i really want this to work out the first time and be able to continue for many days to come thanks for your time and have a wonderful day

The steps u talk about seem good to me. Just make sure you drain the popcorn for at least 30 minutes before pcing.
For casing layer, it's hard to beat jiffy mix. Just straight jiffy mix.

Popcorn is good if ur just gonna case the grain. ime it fruits better alone than wbs does. It's prolly the worst grain to use for spawning to bulk though, because the ratio has to be kept at about 1:2

lol rye is way cheaper than WBS or popcorn in my area so its bizarre to read everyone using other stuff, no offense if you like popcorn.
