Just inoculated 6 jars with a P. Azurescens #2 spore syringe

I have never grown Azures, but have done my research and believe I can succeed. I live in central NC, so I think the climate is good (I'm on the border of Zones 6 and 7). I have 6 grain jars that I inoculated (in a sterile environment) with a nice fat P. Azurescens #2 spore syringe 2 days ago. After the jars are colonized, I plan to transfer the spawn to 6 bags containing 3.5 lbs sterilized (15psi/90 min) alder wood chips. When these are colonized, I plan on using them to spawn an unsterilized outside bed (6"x6"x10") of 30 lbs oak chips, 20 lbs alder chips, and 20 lbs of maple sawdust (all soaked, of course) after the last frost this spring. They say to keep it covered with cardboard and watered (especially in the hot summer) till the temps drop to about 65 for a few days (late Sept). Then uncover it and add a thin casing layer of pure sphangum moss with a couple handfuls of grass seed thrown in. Keep casing wet for high humidity, and I should get some fruit when temps drop to 45. Then flushes every week or 2 till winter. Then cover it up for cold temps till spring, add a little more substrate, and start all over again. Does this sound like a decent plan to you? Like I said, I just inoculated the jars with spores 2 days ago, so any suggestions would be welcome! Thanxx!

Ummm.... get rid of the Sponser's name from the title and post. People will be more likely to help once the thread isn't breaking the rules...
Other than that it seems ok.

As everyone else will tell you, the vendors sell us spores for Microscopy.

azurescens seems fascinating to grow. saw your other thread, like supatharipper said, what grows have you done prior? would love to look into azurescens, seems like you've done your research quite well. will pay attention to this thread as well, hoping to see some successful pictures!

Its not a hard species to grow, but getting away from this pf tek shit is key. Learn the ways of agar . its not that hard.

I am learning the ways of agar, but I'm a little strapped for cash and need a few more supplies!! Thanx for the advice!!
