A few questions about growing stones.

I have had very little luck growing cubensis. I had 9 jars that ive shot up at different times, and only one has survived. I know its due to my lack of sterility. The one jar that has survives is an Orissa india that is ready for harvest in my stealth fruiting chamber. I wish I was comfortable enough to take pictures! But to the point. I want to get some 3 lb rye spawn bags, and shoot them up with a number of stone producing species. including P mexicana, ATL 7, and P tampanensis. My plan is to shoot up a bag every month, so In 6 months when I harvest the first one I will have another one the next month, and so on. I heard that growing them for 6 months makes them much more potent as compared to 2 or so. Please let me know if this is false. My questions are:
1:How do you store them? Do you dry them? refrigerate? 2:How long do they keep once harvested? 3: what is the best possible temp for the myc to grow stones? 4: should I get them any light at all? or complete darkness? 5: can you make tea with them? If so is there a specific tek for them? 6: Should I shake the bag at one point to evenly distribute the myc? If so when?
Thanks so much

1) I freeze mine fresh. 2)I've eaten frozen fresh stones that were over a year old and they were perfectly fine. 3)I grow mine (Galindoi) at room temperature and I've noticed they kept growing even in the mid 60's 4) Light or dark doesn't matter 5)I've read that you can make tea from them and theres no reason you shouldn't be able but I never personally made stone tea and don't know a recipe.....sorry. 6)I only use quart jars and I rarely shake them. If I do shake them its at 20% or so and theres no stones growing yet.

I have also shook jars, seems that they take 3 times as long to finish colonizing if you do. I also got stones, but it took fuckin forever, they grew slow, and were quite small compared to the jars that I didn't shake.
