Methods of stretching out a MS syringe?

I'll do agar when I have a bit more space, and a bit more moolah, plus I'm still pretty inexperienced, I've grown successfully but there is clearly a lot I have left to learn.
I was thinking.. I have a MS syringe with clumps of visible spores, and I only have roughly 3ml left. I don't have any prints left, but I was wondering if I were to flame sterilize the needle (along with sterilizing/sanitizing everything else I'll be using), and open a new bottle of room temperature distilled water, could I open it inside a SAB and pull water from the bottle into the syringe basically refilling it? Or would this be a shit catastrophe?

Why not shoot some pf jars, get a shit ton of prints off a couple cakes, then make as many syringes or new prints as you'd like.

I mean yeah I could do that, but I'd rather not wait that long on 3 jars. I just thought this might be a simple way to get my time and efforts worth out of it this way lol, and potentially an easier way then doing it from spore prints.
just an idea I guess.

Agar is pretty easy. you basically need 2 ingredients, petri dish, container to pour from.
Steam sterilize ingredients in container, let cool to pour temp, pour.
Here's a 6 year old tek you can try

You think syringe to lc would be worth it? I'd be worried it'd go to shit. That's the main reason I suggested pf since they are petty hard to mess up. I haven't really messed with lc, so I can't speak from experience wether or not it'd be a viable option.

Sterilize some water and fill your syrenge back up. Use sab, wipe everything with alcohol and flame the needle.

Yeah I don’t have a pressure cooker, takes up a lot of space for my shack of a home.. I’m exaggerating of course but I am super limited... I’m considering trying out a LC tek if I can find one I like.
Either way I’m still considering trying out this MS refill idea when my flush starts to come in and I nab a few more prints.

I regularly get 28-32 jars from a single syringe,so 3ml could get me roughly 8 jars.Plenty of jars to get spores from.I just put a tiny drop per inoculation hole,just under .5ml per jar.It may take a little longer to colonize,but it does stretch the MS syringe.I've never understood the 10-12 jars per syringe. Seems like way too much spore solution.

You could definitely try the print to syringe.
I personally never tried because I was worried it would be cotamed then I would use it to nocc up and my wait would be in vain without me realizing :/
If you want to get a lot of mushrooms I personally would be trying to save up for a pressure cooker and agar supplies. And somr quart jsrs. But I definitely understand. I did pf Tek a couple times over the course of 2 years or so getting a couple o's each time or so before move ng to bulk

I've done quite a few pf jars with one syringe as well. Literally just try to shoot the absolute smallest amount possible and I can't say I noticed longer germ time either compared to shooting more

you could defiantly get 8-10 jars with that without the worries of major contam.

You never made a MS syringe? That’s interesting, so far I’ve only done PF, and crumbled to shoeboxes. Seems to put out more then if it were a cake alone, plus- and the best part- takes up very little space. Lol

well you dont need pc for lc and it seems like a lot of effort to make 1 or 2 pf jars which also may not make it. I would get 2 quart jars and 1.5 ml each.
I would get a pc and do ms to agar and g2g in sab or flow hood. but I also make lc with left over spores...

Is there a certain tek you prefer for making the LC?

No. 3% Karo to spring water because it is convenient. I steam for 90 min. Use pint jars if your pot is to small for qt and make sure you have a cloth on the bottom so they do not brown. The one in the pic is a pint. will stretch you to 20 lc syringes. The jar in the pic has a cheap rtv port and polyfil vent.
