Syringe - Do you guys re-used them?

So i got my syringe from ralph and used them, my cakes are colonizing right now and I want to make sure ill be able to make my own spores (or clones wtv) to not have to buy online again.
I kept the syringe i got, and i was wondering if I put them in the PC for 90min, can i used them to make spores syringe myself? Now I watched the videos on how to make the spore, but I learn better when I read.... if som1 has a link that could rly help me step by step to turn a cake into a syringe?
And last question. I was reading about the straws tek in the laundry basket, and I was wondering if my BRF tek jars can help me there or do I rly need to make spawn grains out of them, and then use the grains for the straws. Thanks,.....

yes you can reuse your syringe there are plenty of teks out there to sterilize them for reuse
and brf is a poor spawn and better used as cakes spawning brf more then likely will give you about the same as fruiting them as cakes

Nonsense.
If you just crumble them up and case them, maybe.
If you spawn them to more substrate, you'll get more fruit.
As for re-using syringes- yes.
They wear out after a few cycles (the plunger seal starts leaking air) but you can generally get two or three uses out of them.
I just drop mine in boiling water for about 15 minutes, suck up some boiling water and let them slowly cool. 90 minutes in the PC would probably be overkill.
Lots of teks on it. pick one you like.

The statement about spawning giving you as much as cakes is false. I think you meant to say casing them isn't beneficial.

ok let me rephrase that then brf is has only 1/3 of actual nutritious material so if you wanna spawn with good result you would need a shit tons of jars and adding a lot of jars is still putting in a bunch of worthless verm it better to just fruit as cakes

More nonsense. Try again.

that 1 part BRF is more than enough nutrition to get three or four flushes. The limiting factors are water and contamination.
Nutrition is not very important for cube spawn. The important thing with spawn is that it colonizes fast and breaks up into small pieces so you have a lot of inoculation points.
Don't worry about nutrition unless you're growing shiitake.
Verm is worthless in a substrate? that's just plain bullshit.
Verm is a key component of just about every substrate that doesn't include straw.

Haha my bad you beat me to it!! Some people talk out of their arse obviously. Spewing to bulk will most definitely produce more yield

Yeah bro your bulk substrate has plenty of nutrients anyway so what would it matter about your spawn if brf wasn't nutritious, which it is, anyway

well i guess i was proved wrong about the verm(only though it was there for water content) but im still thinking brf cakes shouldnt be spawned wich means it time to do a little experiment

There's no problem spawning the cakes to bulk. It works well for people that don't have a pc and can't do grains and want to do bulk. Grains work well because of the many inoculations points

Yeah me too. I'd say you'll probably see a pretty good difference in colonization times, maybe. A lot of people take the cakes to a cheese grater to help with inoculation points.

Let me tell you guys for my first mono-tub I spawned with BRF using coir, vermiculite and gypsum. I got 2oz out of that bad boy dry out of three flushes. Not to mention it wasn't fully colonized because it was my first attempt at a mono-tub and I fucked up. Then I spawned to large tubes and got half a pound out of the two combined. So as far as yields go that's nonsense
I re-use syringes unless it states on the package "not re-usable" or I've seen "Do not re-use"
And the cheese grater thing is solid that's what I did when I spawned the BRF

I don't recall saying the yields would suck by spawning cakes to bulk. I said by crumble and casing cakes the yield wouldn't differ from just fruiting as cakes. Just to be clear. Awesome yields by the way on your mono. I may try spawning cakes to bulk myself next time for shits and gigs.

Hahah oh my bad thought I read someone saying that I don't know if it was you might of been an earlier post on this thread. It's a fun experience but I stick to grains now.

What size was your mono? I usually get 6+ oz dry from my first flush in a 64qt tub using coir verm and 7 qt of spawn. 2 oz ain't bad though for it not being fully colonized and no consolidation

wow so many replies thanks everyone.
So if I take my BRF jars (i started seeing small shrooms today, so 7 more days ima wait) i can take the shit out of the jar, crumble it, and use that with my straws into my laundry basket (like in the videos) ??
Or do I need to crumble what's in the jar, and make spawn grains out of that, then use the spawn grains with the straw?

You have invitro pins? If you plan on using cakes for spawn I'd advise spawning them as soon as they fully colonize for better results
