like i said..i dont support or use kits. those are for ppl who dont have patience, you get ripped off with the kits. all it takes is about $50 worth of stuff, including spores which run about $15. the only downside is now my operation is supersketch, weed+shroomies

shroomery.org is my source for all info.
here's a link to the tech i first used.
Shroomery - Simple Cubensis Growing Technique
if you try it, do that tech first and then upgrade to 'casings'.

well, 4 years ago i bought Mazapatec, Amazonian, and Lipa Yai from TLG (thelittleguy.com). back then, they were ontop - but now i dunno. lately ive been getting my buddy to send me spores, he sends me plenty for free cus we both grow. on shroomery, there should be a nice list of vendors - sporebank.com is prolly your best bet.

buy any substrain of Cubensis; theres hundreds, i like Golden Teacher, Mazapatec, Amazonian and Lipa Yai. i do use a pressure cooker, they are about $30 and well worth it. the alternative is steaming the jars in a normal metal pot, but you need to do it for atleast 1.5-2hrs - the problem is you might still get infections, as opposed to 1 hour with a pressure cooker which results in 100% sterility. verm/brf is the standard PF Tech method, its really simple and nets you alot of good shrooms. go for it, but youll eventually want to do Casings - which yield ounces per flush as opposed to 5 or 7 grams per flush.
it can get complicated, but for the most part its a very simple procedure. let me know if you need help w/ anything, im always happy to help a fellow cultivator.

Yah I grew both my sensi and bubba under t-5's. I have only grown 2 and I used 6-8 t-5's

I am happy with the t-5 results, but as you pointed out they are very expensive...I have paid over 400 for all those t-5's. But comparing them to a 400 watt hps (which I have now) you really only notice the difference it seems when its budding.
I am thinking about upgrading my bulb to one of those 430watts so it can have more power and a broader spectrum

yes the t5 are very pricey but perfect for early growth. no need for an hid lamp with clones and small plants. t5s are ideal for the veg, but i would deff suggest mh or hps for flowering, you will get more and the proccess will be shorter
