I grew mushies once so not really very familiar with it but the yeild will depend on your method of growing. I am sure you will get plenty off of all that substrate. It's a pretty quick process just waiting for the mycelium to grow is the only wait really. A couple months maybe?

With heat 1/2 pint jars will take about a month to colonize (give or take a week) if properly inocculated. As far as yield 1-2 oz if you can keep them flushing w/o contamination, thats assuming you are just going to put them right into a terrarium after birthing. If you get into doing logs and such you can yield utterly huge amounts of shrooms (last log I did gave me 12lbs). Just remember to wait at least a week after the jar turns completely white to birth.
PS that yield figure was per jar.

Welllll, you should be able to find a proper in depth guide to do it on the net here (youtube has some great ones) but basically once your jars are colonized you can break up that mycelium and use it to innoculate lage amounts of substrate. I pasteurize a bale of straw and stuff it into a laundry basket and wrap it up with plastic, the mycelium will rapidly colonize the straw over a few weeks and badda bing badda boom rip off the plastic and literally flush pounds of shrooms at a time. There is a bit more to it than that, but that is the jist of it. I would reccomend doing some small crops first terrarium style to figure shit out first tho, there is a lot of shit that can get fucked up going large scale.

I've actually never read any books on it, I learned everything off the net and from people that had done it. Youtube has step by step video instructions for pretty much any method that you can think of and they are very good, they are all geared towards growing edible/gourmet mushrooms but they work just the same for cubensis. Type in, laundry basket-straw log tek on you tube....very good information.

No problem dude, unfortunatley I've never ordered them online. If your in Canada like me the spores are legal and you can buy them at any head shop. As far as strains go I've only ever done psylocybin cubensis, there are some other 'exotic' 'strains' out there but in the end I think they are all the same shit basically.

Go to Youtube and search: pf tek lets grow mushrooms
It's kind of a long cheesy tutorial but a good one. There's quite a bit of info. like that on Youtube. =)

PF tek method....
thatll yield anywhere from 3-8 grams dried per 1/2 pint cake.
so lets say you successfully flush your cakes 3 times each.
youll end up getting roughly 108-288 grams dried. (3.86-10.29 ounces dried)

you could possibly flush up to 8 times getting up to 15 grams per cake, but 7-8g from three flushes is more common number for most people. i've pulled 45 grams from two cakes they were little bigger than 1/2 pint because I used pint jars but only filled to the half way point so close to but little bigger

ive used http://freespores.com/ with no issues, can type freespores in your order comment and they will give you a free syringe as well, i even requested a specific strain and they gave it to me as my freebie

the potency between strains is argued all the time.
some people say a cubensis is a cubensis.
some people say each strain of cubensis very.
the only strains I KNOW that are more potent than cubez that you can cultivate at your home are....
Panaeolus cyanescens
this type of mushroom is THE hardest to cultivate but are the most potent.
1 gram of these fuckers can equal to 2-3.5 grams of cubensis.
STRONG
but when it comes to cubensis they are basically the same.
the difference is how fast they grow and they way the mushrooms look.
potency isnt really an issue because fresh cubez are killer anyways.
the only cubensis that is more potent than any other is the PENIS ENVY strain.
this strain is harder to grow but you'll still yield a decent amount.

Cakes are a silly way to do bulk grows, way too much work, takes up way too much space too.
I can easil yget 100g dry on one flush in a kitty litter tray of proper medium.
I still say whoever thinks a cube is a cube has not had a propper transkei cube.
Its pretty legend around my circles, some fear it some love it, I've seen it give experienced shroomers uncontrolable laughs for 4 hours on less than a gram.
Its not very visual, and visuals have a yellow tingle rather than the traditional rainbow coloured fractals.
Also it looks slightly diffirent to other cubes, the stem is often quite gnarly, often hairy at the base, it overgorws ANY casing and you have to keep burrying it, or it makes these large innersole spongey like growths on top of your tubs.
