Finally gonna get my feet wet with LC. Need help.

First off i know its better to make everything myself but im still not able too yet.
But anyways, I have a few wbs spawn bags going (multispore) While I'm waiting on them to finish i decided to order a pre sterilized pint of LC mixture from a sponsor on here, just to play with and see whats up with LC.
Says it'll turn 4cc of MS too 100cc of LC.
How long does it take to finish? Do i need new packaged needles to extract?

Inoculating LC with spores is asking for contamination. It's a waste of spores.
You're not going to have good luck with LC unless you're doing agar.

an LC mixture is just sugar and instant mashed potatos dissolved in water. don't pay for that again. buy the ingredients and make your own in the future once you get into doing agar work.

If i bought some dry premixed MEA, after i simmered it what would i put it in to sterilize it? Pint jars? Then just pour that into the dishes in a SAB?

I'm a complete noob and this is my first try at cultivating anything ever, so take my advice with a grain of salt; I was very lucky to have created three apparently successful MS LC's using this baby bottle tek -> https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4141612
I'm lucky it worked, because I used a few drops from a multi-spore syringe and I know that's the least reliable source (I'm on my way to agar work I swear! hah) but I can say that so far it has worked for me and was extremely easy to get supplies for, so perhaps you can try that instead of buying premade stuff.
Here are some of my results using that tek, and so far (cross-fingers) I have had zero contams of anything:

I'm a bit out of the loop, haven't been in the hobby for about 5 years. But, I just used a syringe to knock up 4 LC quart jars that all did really well. It's really amazing to watch (1) 10ML syringe give birth to 40 or 50 pounds of spawn. 
I did the LC because I'm impatient to get to the fruiting.  No reason not to try it IMO. You'll need to flame the needle in between inoculations. Just curious- what type of lid does the jar come with?
On my 2nd syringe, I'll do it right, use 1 drop to find some isolates on agar, and then look for some invitro fruiting and clone those.

Good choice. I usually order petris from FP. Need to order some more as a mater of fact. Thanks for reminding me.

Good luck. LC isn't bad and there are a lot of LC lovers out there.  But it is important to be very clean if you want to work with LC.
