Do yourself a favor and don't use the PF tek, no dunking.

I have used the PF tek to pull fairly decent harvests of cubies. I think it is a good beginner tek.. and dunking does rehydrate the cakes, provided u don't contaminate it along the way. I grew and sold shrooms over a decade ago to local university students and it became my livelihood for a couple of years. Nowdays, cubies aren't for me, but am looking into the possibility of a P.Azurescens or Pan Cyan grow

In my opinion PF tek is the opposite of the way cubes grow. What a decent harvest is varies, but it is likely impossible to get a decent harvest from such a method and those who grow that way subject themselves to inordinent amount of work for very little payoff and not much of an education on how the organisms actually grow.
I know PF guys defend their methods but the method was, from the start, a way for one many to make millions while making others dependent upon his system.
If one needs to rehydrate one's entire substrate, then they have not achieved the 80 percent point - that is the first three flushes yielding 80 percent of the total yield. The longer one is forced to keep a grow working past that mark the more likely that person is to contamination and difficulty with the environment.
Among all the methods of growing this organism, PF is the very worst.

Good thread ! I remember my 1-st attempt at cultivating cubies (PF Tek) and sterilizing the substrate in a regular crock -pot on my propane stove.
Now that was a delicate and Long procedure! I'm going to research some teks for growing a more potent psilocybin mushroom stain. How difficult are
the pan-cyans to cultivate indoors? I understand they are MUCH smaller than cubies but 2.5 times more potent. Anyone?

You may have a point - what other method would be feasible for a primordial mycologist?

I don't need to really sterilize anything but the spore itself (the needle) as everything else comes already sterilized. Anyway from what I know you are correct about pan cyan being more potent and I also agree with them being much smaller but you get lots of them whereas with golden teacher I think you get a bit less (shrooms not wieight )than pan cyan but are bigger in size.
