Boiling water for sterilizing a syringe (let it cool before using it on the spores), will work fine. The rest of your post didn't look like it would grow anything at all. (0% success rate) please read up a bit on some teks and sterilization.

10% is your success rate for making complete sentences. It's hard to help you when you don't take the time to make a legible post
I doubt you will have any success with your grow, but good luck!

Nothing wrong with experimentation, just letting you know what I think.
Problem is that you are pasteurizing grains in with a bulk sub, and trying to inoculate it all.
You can inoculate grains (with spores) just fine, but NOT a bulk sub. So it's likely that the experiment would end here. What's more is that pasteurizing grains will not kill endospores which will germinate in a couple days and probably take over the jar(chia). That's all.

hahaha well put.
Good luck with your experiment. Be sure to update this thread and let us know how it goes - even if it completely fails.

it was just a spur of the moment type thing for practice ..really not expecting anything from this experiment.but from what i read the way to go is spawn to bulk from rye seed to straw logs ..thats my next serious experiment ,and ill keep trying it until i have the whole thing cloned to grow most shrooms same size and grow speed . and i can stretch my mycelium as far as possible . ill do this out side this summer in an outside greenhouse witch is perfect for south weather ..the wild shrooms around here are redonkulas and i think it might even be a new strain of Cubes i got about 5 caps last year the size of a softball and 1 that was bigger out in a field(i want a spore print of that) and i actually got 1 or 2 bigger from that the rest was perfect size and potency was about a 4 out of 5 ..i cant wait for the season to start!

Your setup doesn't seem very orderly, but best of luck to you anyways.

Too bad this is actually true for the most part. I think it's because everyone down here parties until their brain turns into a blob of goo.

i tried the PF tech i don't really care for it ..even if it worked i think it would be a waste of time compared to spawn to bulk

If you cant successfully grow mushrooms with the PF tech, your not going to have any luck with bulk. You need to take baby steps first.

You don't care for it?
It'll give you a 90% success rate. That beats 0%.
Ahaha... can you understand that?

PF Tek works great, and is no waste of time. It helps acclimate new cultivators to the ideas behind sterility and allows you to keep your eggs in separate baskets, so to speak.
I grow all my edibles in bulk (because it makes sense if I wanted 20lbs of mushrooms), but when I am growing just to get a couple prints or something, PF is the quickest and most effective method. I can make up a jar in like 15 minutes, PC for 90, let cool for a few hours, then knock them up and be done. They'll be ready to birth in about two weeks. Bulk you get to do a whole other set of preparation after the two weeks and then wait for that to colonize before you even enter fruiting conditions.

vary true..what ill do is both at the same time ill knock up rye seed for the bulk and some quart jars for the PF tech ...also i know this might not be the right section of this forum for this but i also want to get a spore print of some of the shrooms that grow around here and send it off there like nothing i have ever seen ..so Beautiful!

LOL. I'd put all my money that it'd fail.
dude, before you experiment. follow legit. you can't experiment especially when you have NO IDEA what you are doing. I can tell just from reading what you are doing. It's ridiculously stupid that you'd even expect it to work.

half pints and smaller are good for pf tek. pints and larger, while sometimes successful, have knack for stalling out due to compression, co2 and moisture issues that we do not experience in smaller jars.
small jars will also colonize faster, and as said, more consistently.

plastic tek is inexpensive and I personally prefer plastic. my fav is the 1 pints that are just a lil taller than the widemouth half pints.. I leave about 3/4 inch of open space between the lid and thebrf verm... let it colonize 30 to 40 percent then shake like crazy another week and a half and they are ready to spawn "that's countingthe week after full colonization" or just birth em... I rambled on but to the point go by a dollar store and look around the plastic u need has that lil arrow triangle thing with pp5 inside it.. so it'll withstand heat of sterilizing it... cheap and easy.
-------------------- I agree totally. However, this forum isn't for the experienced growers, because they already know the ropes. It's for the new growers who are just starting out. Sometimes the hardest part about learning something new is un-learning bad info. That's why I tend to correct people for calling a substrate tray a 'casing', etc. RR everything I say is a lie on here.

Those things are ready to spawn to bulk soon as they're fully colonized. If you're gonna birth as is, prob best to wait a week though, to let it really get it's network set up so you're not waiting forever for it to pin.
