It has been years since I’ve done any research on mycology. Helped a friend with a few monotub grows back in 2015, inoculating jars of birdseed and using coco coir/verm/gypsum as bulk substrate (1 to 2 ratio).
I now see a wide variety of pre sterilized grain bags and crazy awesome genetics. Sore syringes/prints were what was available back then, but I see liquid culture now.
My questions are;
Is it worth buying the pre-sterilized grain bags?
Does liquid culture colonize faster than spores, does one have an advantage over the other?
When spawn to bulk, is just plain coco or coco/verm/gypsum still best for cubensis? Or are there other options that are same if not better i.e. peat moss based potting soil? (I grow cannabis)

🙏 Thanks

Also, shoeboxes seem superior and easier to manage than monotubs
