HowLiquid Culture (LC) or Liquid Grain Culture - Just pour it onto spawn?
    #10318392 - 05/10/09 06:36 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

My needles are too short and just barely graze the top of the liquid. How do i suck up the mycelium? I need long needles. any ideas?

Or can i just pour the liquid right into the spawn (worried about contams though).

lol .. if u got the hole in the middle of the lid this maybe hard to do.... but just tilt the jar on its side . and point the needle toward the side of jar... just don't let the liquid get to the top of jar cause it can come out sometimes

I've added holes to already prepared jars by using a scratch awl (mine is just an old screwdriver sharpened to a point). Disinfect the jar lid and scratch awl well with isopropyl alcohol before punching the hole. Doesn't take much force to make a hole. Make it near the edge so you can reach with your too-short needle with the jar tilted.

Possible to get a longer needle? The problem even when tipped. I have to swirl the mycelium cause it weighs more than the water it is suspended into.

I've seen them, but I have no idea where you'd find such a thing.

EDIT: Searched here for "long needles" and found that inksupply.com has 4" 16ga Lure Lock needles available (scroll down a little past halfway). $.95 each.
