No problem! You could also try to put on agar ? No experience there but they say that's the way to go for guaranteed sterility

I've had much better luck putting spore solution to cakes, grains and agar than I have to LC--but one look at what grew on my agar told me why I'd had trouble in LCs.

U can sterilize some water let it cool down then suck it up into ur syringe and boom 2cc's turns into 10 cc's. Then use 1cc to make an LC. Thoes syringes are filled with alot of spores I've done this many times and it always works. I always dilute my syringes.

Or you can get into agar and never have to use a spore syringe again.

I've started a lot of MS grows with agar. I really think everyone should get familiar with agar before they do anything else related to mushroom cultivation. It is the corner stone of everything I do.

I have yet to try agar. I really want to get into to it though. I suggest LC to use those 2 cc's of spores. I've done LC and have yet to have it contam. I love LC. I'll get a contam eventually.

I've done alot of agar when I had the time but between all the sectoring and g2g started from agar it just became a hassle I like spore prints because they are so straight forward and hands off. Plus water is free agar pattato flakes etc cost money. I've made the cheapest setup ever. I only use coir and wbs nothing else. Pf tek with grinded down wbs mixed with coir takes 1.5x the colonization rate but I like it because its cheap the average grow costs $10 then I spawn to 100% coir. I don't even use verm anymore.

I mean, dry malt extract isn't too spendy and neither is agar. 5g DME and 5g agar powder to 250ml of water is a decent simple ass recipe. Basically making jello

I guess we all have our own views on growing. I picked up what I liked the most. I've done agar I've done g2g I've done lc's. But ms is where its at for me plus I use 1 cup of wbs and a quarter brick of coir to make 2 quarts of spawn. That is possibly the cheapest method for growing mushies.

Hey thanks for the links. Have you ever tryed to weed through the info here when you search agar. Geesh
I really want to take the next step here so I it looks like I have some reading to do.
Always end up reading something when there are jars colonizing.
Also MudaFuka I certainly understand the importance of learning agar. Corner stone for you means allot.
I am glad I did so much reading on bulk, but I really wish I researched agar first.
Thanks for taking the time.

Yes I wanted to mention that also. I read it a couple of days ago and kinda didn't think I would be interested in agar this fast.
I am very glad you re-pointed the link out to me though.
Thanks allot brotha...

I am the one who gave you the rating for the quick response the other night. I just went to rate you and I was still the last one. Lol thanks again!
I really appreciate you guys not giving me the typical "check the search bar" answer.
There is allot on the subject. Many different opinions also.

Oh, when I demonstrated my stunning lack of ability to remember how much a brick of coir weighed without coffee?
Thanks for the rate anyway. I have an energy drink right now. I promise it won't happen again.

Those are really good for beginners because many recipes on here call for "a brick" or "half a brick." Once you've made two or three substrates, you can look into getting the huge blocks from grow shops (about $15 for about 1' x 1' x 6") and just eyeballing. The coir/verm ratio is pretty flexible, and while there's probably an optimum somewhere in the area of 60-80% coir and 20-40% verm by volume, I don't know exactly where it is and I don't think it's a very sharp peak in performance if you get it perfectly right, if you get my meaning.
I know a lot of experienced growers who do proper pasteurization, sterilized, or oven-pasteurized CVG just shave off a few pieces from their block, look at it with their heads cocked to the side for a second and then mumble "Mmm...fuck it," before dumping in their water and adjusting the hydration with vermiculite.
