How long can I expect to have mushrooms from scratch?
Can I grow more than one mushroom per tek-jar ?
What is the success rate i.e. how many different teks should I attempt this with to be pretty sure Il get a successful growth.
When I have a successful culture (ps. Cyanescens) How to I get that to grow on woodchip and does it matter what kind of woodchip I use ?

If you don't know the answers to these basic questions, then you don't need to be growing pans.

Yes you can grow more than 1 mushroom from a jar. I can't believe I just answered that question.

I don't know what's going on here, but if you are trying to grow psilocybe cyans on woodchips outside, I would skip the "liquid tek" and go spores>agar>grain>woodchip/sawdust bags>outdoors

Ditch the lc, get some agar agar and some malt extract and put some spores to a petri, to grains, to woodchips.
If you're working with wild fruits, take some stem tissue and sandwhich it between wet cardboard to effectively take a clone, then once fully colonized, layer that cardboard with woodchips then make an outdoor bed. These are the methods that i have seen success with, although i have never tried myself so, grains of salt, right?
If indoor cultivation is your goal, scrap the cyan and try real hard to obtain some cube spores

The liquid culture tek (there's multiple liquid teks) still requires a clean agar wedge. Sure I guess sometimes by chance there's no contams in your drop of spores.. But agars the way to go for a truly clean start.
Ps. Cyan grows on Hardwood.
You can grow as much as edible farms can.
Success rate depends on your skill.

I have to clone because I have an outdoor specimen I cant use spores. So Im gonna take material from inside the mushroom. Thats all I can do.
1. Liquid Tek with honey and water seems like an easy way to clone. I would then transfer onto woodchips by placing some mycellium inside some wood somehow. Not sure how though can someone tell me how?
2. Agar method sounds like it would be more succesful actually but I cant get access to agar easily from where Im from.

You live in London according to your sig.. you can get agar within a mile of your house. Go to any Asian (Thai/Chinese etc) market, they all sell it. Just ask for agar, costs a quid or two.
