first time grower looking for some advice from someone with experience
    #15761540 - 02/04/12 06:32 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I am a first timer at cultivating mushrooms, i will be using a strophoria cubensis syringe and the pf tek method.
i realize there is alot of information out there and even on this site, however some of it i find to be a little confusing. I've watched the PF tek videos and read several people's threads on this forum but i was hoping someone with experience would be able to answer a few questions i have. i just want to make sure ive got the method down and centred around the particularities of this strain.
first of all i am curious about the "dunk and roll" technique, im not sure if this would be a good method to use, also curious about soaking the cakes before putting them in the fruiting chamber, not sure if this is a good idea for this kind of mushroom.
my second question is about the sterilization of the medium, just wondering how long it needs to stay in the pressure cooker.
if i sterilize my syringe with just an alcohol swab and a flame will that be ok? will a lighter work? im just scared of contaminants.
any other tips concerning sterilization and inoculation would be extremely helpful, i plan to follow the pf tek method pretty much to a t but like i said anyone who has some good information coming from personal experience with this particular strain would be great. THANKS!

Speaking from experience, when you ask so many questions, you will get better responses by using paragraphs between Q's and numbering them even.  I'm not being a bitch, this is good advice.

I don't know if I would dunk n roll or soak cakes until I had done a couple grows.

When you inject, get some alcohol, spray or pour it on your hands, the needle, your work surface, etc.  Should be fine.  Cover your mouth, wear gloves.  Just bring the PC right to where you inoculate and if the time and distance from it to your work area are small enough you will not get contams that way.  Keep it up with the alcohol, if you scratch your ass during inoculation, reapply.  Maybe do a dry run first just to get it fast and tidy.

and flame sterilize that needle, alcohol will not sterilize the inside of the needle.
