Doesnt it make you feel like youre a retard when.....

You loose an entire spore syringe you just bought to an lc by accident?
I just got my syringes in today, 3 of em. One Brazilian, one golden teacher and one gulf coast.
So I made the lc a few hours ago with some high quality honey from a local farm place. You know, straight from the hive. Anyway, I mixed in a little under 4% honey per jar, used silicone for the lid (predid this yesterday).
I then wait until they were cool enough, or so I friggin though, to knock them up. I jab the Brazilian in and see some bubbling in the jar and think "huh." I then look up at the top of the syringe and see the plunger descending all the way down! All gone!
I said f- it and went and did the others, holding the plunger and letting as little as I could make it it. Most is gone, If these cultures don't work I'm pretty much out 40 bucks.
I feel like a complete retard!
Moral of the story, Let you lc cool down to room temperatures before knocking them up.

It WAS cool...The cooling created a low pressure zone inside the jar which sucked up all your spores.

Or use a old/new syringe, so the pressure is release.

yea, I totally forgot that the contents expanded then through cooling created a vacuum. Next time I'll have to grab an empty syringe to release the pressure, good advice.

Good news is you should get some dense LC out of that.

hopefully, Ive had some bad luck with lc's lately. This time I made sure to add 4 grams of unhomogenized honey to 100 plus grams of water. If this doesn't work, I'm probably going to loose my mind.

ill have to try that next time, the rule of thumb around here was usually 4% to 96, but then again it hasn't worked all the well up until now.

Agar hasn't been around for a while.
There should be a tek around here for the lids though.
I hope the old hand is alright...

I measured the first time I did it. Now I just go by eye, and mine are probably closer to 2% too. Less is more in this case I guess.

Next time, use a filter so you don't pull a vacuum in your jars. The lc isn't going to grow without air anyway. . . RR

that sucks then, someone already claimed that theres enough air in there already, even with a silicone injector site

yeah, not for the full life of your lc. If you only planning on using it once, and you only need a small amount of myc then yeah. Its not really about the air itself, its about the gas exchange.
