you will be using your pre-made innoculation hole to vent the lid while it is microwaving, then take it out of the microwave, throw a piece of masking tape on there, wait for it to cool, and innoc it like you would anything.

i didnt realize they sold a package of 6 mini plastic containers that come with innoculation holes in them. please point me to them. this is all out of the box and easy to do. if you dont like it dont use it.
the plastic wrap is only so you can lift the lid up and innoc through it while cutting down on potential contams from landing in your solution.

why would it be more difficult to poke a hole in a plastic lid then in a metal half pint one? now your just getting angry and will not listen to reason, so i will be leaving now.

im sorry psychoslut.
both systems work. i just have found in my personal experience that plastic wrap is easy. i have poked holes in the lids of jars before, i know its not more difficult for metal or plastic...infact it might be easier with plastic because you could just heat up some metal and melt it through instead of using a hammer.
plastic wrap is a quick temporary way of doing this. i see your point with adding a hole in the lid, this way you can use the container over and over no problem. ill give it a try next time i do this system. what kind of tape do you use?
>>its an incredible idea, but tell me about incubation please
after you knock up these containers put em in a dark area between 80 and 86 degrees. within a week you'll have enough liquid culture to do whatever your heart desires.

My aunt just knocked up 6 1/2pts, 3 syringe and 3 Karo. So far the Karo looks to be about 5 days ahead of the syringe jars  She's thinking about doubling the recipie next time for more mycelium. She sucked up all the white stuff and it just filled a 10cc syringe. Seemed to grow very slow in the jar.

I have a few karo jars colonizing, though in the middle of my large puff i have a single black dot, should i be worried about this single black dot?

Got a question about the syringe- Is it ok to suck up this mycelium through a normal spore syringe, or should a fatter needle be used? (will it damage the mycelium?)
Thanks

I made mine with a lot more Karo than you J, and you're right, I don't think it makes it any faster or slower, they can just live in there much longer. I've got one that I inoculated 6 or 7 weeks ago, and it's still producing strands. I had to throw it away because I think I finally saw some contams, but shit, this is the easiest thing in the world to do, and it works splendidly! Thanks J, it's saved me many a dollar, and I know it will the rest of my life, until I find something else to increase one syringe into infinite syringes.

I have two questions... 1) Can you introduce live tissue to this tech. Say you have 1 cake and no spores. Break the corner open in a glovebox and scrap some tissue in? 2) How does the my get into the syringe, or is it the process of shaking up the container and then drawing solution> So you are taking up micro lovels of the lliving tissue?
