Super easy karo tek * 7
    #2321056 - 02/10/04 12:13 PM (20 years, 1 month ago)

Do you have a microwave? Tired of messing up w/ your karo teks?

heres your solution:

supplies your gonna need:

1 package of small microwavable containers - like these:



1 bottle cheap imitation light syrup - like this:



1 package cheap plastic wrap - like this:



total cost should be under $5

ok now heres what you do:

1) pour about 200ml's of water (around 5 ounces) into the container.

2) add a teaspoon of light syrup to the water(im sure more could be used to increase results, but this is just what i did)

3) put a peice of plastic wrap over the top of the container, and then put the lid on top of that - like this:



4) microwave the container, with the lid slightly cracked (so the container doesnt melt) for 5 Minutes . when its done nuking, open your microwave and push the lid down so its all sealed in there (carefull, its hot)

5) let cool for a few hours, or untill it is room temperature again, and then lift up the lid slowly, flame sterilize your syringe, and put in 1 - 2cc's of your left over spore solution.

6) toss these guys in your incubator (im using a double tub setup)



7) after a few days you should start to see some myc. growth in the solution. after about a week and a half your container should look like this.



i shake the containers around every few days and let the water sloshing break up the myc. no need for glass chunks.

when your ready to innoculate, just lift up the lid, and poke the needle of your sterile syringe through the plastic wrap and suck up how much ever juice you need.

congratulations...you just spent $5 to turn 2 cc's of spore solution into 200 cc's of spore solution. easy as pie in a microwave too.


well i hope this helps someone. enjoy everybody.

I have done the same thing with half pint jars. Wrap the plastic over the top and nuke. When done nuking put the lids w/hole on, and incubate.
When they are ready just poke the needle thru the hole and suck up.

Why does this seem too good to be true?

Does this really work?

Is light syrup the same as corn syrup?

Is it actually sucking spores into the syringe, or mycelium?

How long can i wait to inoculate a jar with the syringe?

Will it be just as fast and effective as spores?

It's lots faster cuz the spores are already germinated, cutting out at least five days.

Also, it seems to grow faster in general, plus you no longer have to be stingy with your apores.

Yeah normal dark molasses, it worked pretty well, same amount of myc just a little harder to see cuz its darker. i didnt really do any measurements, just filled a half pint jar with water and added molasses til it looked slightly darker then whiskey. tossed on saran wrap and a plastic lid and microwaved er

When your incubating the karo container do you need to have holes punched in it for gas exchange?

^^^ yeah, sealed tight. The culture will live for a few months off the air already in there, which is really nice.

The tek prolly has been around longer than most of them.

Unfortunately, it's the nature of the business (the spore part, anyway) that you may or may not see a lot of repeat business.

Happily, most of the sponsors seem to be holding their own.

do you poke through the plastic wrap when injecting the spores? or do you lift it up?
