I wouldn't recommend incubating, unless it's really cold where you live...then I would heat the room, not the jars...regular room temperature is fine for colonization.

Flame the needle. Iso only sanitizes, it does not sterilize. Flaming red hot is practically the best sterilization method besides radiation. I would inoculate while red hot, or while red hot push out one drop from needle to cool, then inoculate. You won't have an issue inoculating red hot, just hisses a little as it cools.

My best piece of advice is to start with agar plates first. You only need one drop of MS solution per plate. It saves you money and time. You want to SEE clean growth before inoculating grain jars. Trying to get good,clean growth from MS>grain jars is a crapshoot. You want to avoid having bacterial grain jars, because your yields will be greatly affected, trust me. I recommend making Pasty plates. All the materials needed can be found at your local supermarket. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19208976

so the fruiting method i am going to use is putting a air filter through a small hole in the fruiting chamber with a timer set to run 30-60 minutes in the morning 30-60 mintues in the evening I will add perlite add water to moisten it then add the cakes with a cheap little grow light to initiate fruiting

Just build a normal SGFC. Using a properly built SGFC is fail-proof. The simpler the better. Here's a good link in regards to SGFC's and how they operate.

You can just toss it outside, or toss the cake in the garbage can. Don't toss the jar btw

ConrgatZ glad I could be of assistance. Take the contaminated cake and start an outdoor patch. Happy to see my syringes were clean what strains did I send you? I believe one was Mexican tulum you should do some research that's a great first edition to a collection.

You sent me tulum and escanido. Thanks! I started an outdoor patch like yall suggested it looks to me like it got to much sun where i put it and dried out. Next time i will start putting the contaminated ones in a more shaded area.
