Also 5 ccs is almost enough to do 3 quarts of rye with spores, 11/2 ccs is plenty for a quart if you place the spore drops in the right places. You tilt the jar and insert the needle and get it as close to the glass as you can, let the spores drip out and run down inside of the glass jar (just 3 or 4 drops should reach the bottom of the jar), then you move the needle so it is pointing at a different part of the jar and repeat. Do that in 3-4 spots and then 4-5 drops right on the top middle. Don't shake and set them on a shelf somewhere and forget about them for two weeks. Doing it like that with spores will make it grow on top and in 3 stripes going down the sides to bottom where you let the spores run down the glass. After the jar looks 30-50% white then you beat it on something soft but solid like a bike tire or your hand if u aint a sissy. Break up all the stuck together white grain, then shake it like a magic 8 ball to evenly distribute the colonized grains through the whole jar.
Sorry!, if your jars don't work I have an EQ print I will mail to you to make up for it if you want it, I have 5 fresh prints. You can make 3-4 good syringes with a spore print. I didn't even think about how I was talking about GLCs and you are new.

3n1gm4. the jars were nocced up over a week ago (I saw your thread today) and I only saw warnings against shaking spores recently... All seems to be going great guns here tho mate. will check the jars Nanna reshook tmorro. All is moving exceptionally well in Nannas nook for her first jars. She is most pleased
Here's what she's working with



You can see the WBS and BRF colonised in more of a mat than the WBS alone in the 500ml cakes. it seems to be a more extensive coverage at this point. shd be able to tell better when Nanna births them
Fun fun fun

3n1gm4 . hahaah, all is good here bro, Nanna is a very fast learner (she's got a big fat IQ and is a bit of a scientist and a total tripper)She's intentionally trying out a few teks off the mark so as to learn as quickly as possible. She has had a strong connection with the earth and shrooms for a long time. My gut tells me that she's got a white thumb and with a bit of practice will become a solid contributor like yourself. Thanks for the spore offer too bro, most righteous! I'm sure all is good here, it wont be necessary;)

Soo... Shaking the WBS jars... not a win at all yet. 4 days later and no regrowth of the abundant mycelium that was there. Luckily only 4 of 12 were shook, the others are ready for casing.

Too wet = bacteria!
Well...next time you are not gonna do the same mistake,so its all good! Best way of learning is from your own mistakes...trust me! First time i did grains i did it too wet and all but 2 jars were bacteria contaminated...and i did 15 of them! LoL

Try adding some gypsum to your next soak of grains or WBS, when it comes time, it makes them shake and recover much easier and faster, and also speeds up colonization.

I think the inability to fully exchange air in that bulk sub terrarium of yours might stunt growth? Just because its deep with a small top. I'm pretty sure it will work though! Maybe make a duct that rams some air to the bottom would help?
Tell your Nana good work on the grain colonizing! You will need a larger surface area to spawn all that at a standard spawning ratio though. Look into bins, totes, and/or trays and such. A jug may be a good choice for a conversation piece or bedside curio, but with that amount of spawn you have to think bigger.
Im impressed so far.

No, just try it the invitro style like it is.
 You have nothing to loose.

You could try one of these, they are pretty cheap, don't know if it works yet because I haven't used mine. You have to get pump separately though.

I got it from here for $13

3n1gm4. that's a fine piece of kit mate, thanks! I'll look into finding one
Nannas got a few totes that she'll be prepping as sgfcs soon, her jars are almost all done
