First Time - Honeywater LC - Is this honey crystallization?

https://imgur.com/OUyFtRz ; - about 3 days, Left one was stirred up a bit.
So I might have a lil more honey than I should (about 11cc for 295cc water, lil more than 4%) I know honey water is not ideal but this is my first time and I followed the really great guide that used it. Next time I'll try one of the other methods people have been talking about.

I see your new to the site. Have you EVER grown shrooms before? If your not familiar with growing shrooms LC is the worst possible way for you to start out, it is full of risks.
Pic link didn't work for me.

Fixed the link
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18381574/fpart/all/vc/1 ; This is the guide I studied, wrote down, and followed to the best I could.
This is my first time growing and while it may not be ideal I already spent the money on equipment and time studying how to do so. I figured I'll go all the way through for my first time doing this and follow another guide next (any suggestions?).
Thank you!

What did you have to specially buy?
I mean no disrespect but seeing as your new and starting off on a bad rout for someone new, I assume your also making the bad mistake of putting spores straight into that LC.
If you want to start with spores you really should do cakes.
If you start with agar just put agar to grains for your first grow.
Look I don't want to discourage you, I just want to save you a wasted attempt on your first grow. LC is an ADVANCED method, and has many ways it can get contaminated. Spores carry bacteria spores and quite possibly mold spores with them. There is NO such thing as a "clean" print, they all have contamination on them. So there is high probability that you will be introducing contamination into the LC. I have grown pounds upon pounds of mushrooms and still only play around with LC's on the side because they are so risky. Do not ley $$ spent be what drives you down a road that has a high fail rate. For your very first grow take a path with less risk and higher probability of success.

Hey I don't think you're being disrespectful at all. I greatly appreciate your insights and input. I spent money on Pressure cooker, Jars, the plastic bin and putting tons of holes in them to help it breath, Brown Rice Flour, Vermiculite.
I did as the guide stated 3.2 Inoculating - where is specifically states to place 1cc of spores into the LC.
Then using the LC to inject directly into BRF Cakes
I still have like 5 more syringes of spores so if I gotta restart or do a better method I am completely open but I was hoping the guide I read would be fine as people were raving about it in the comments.
Am I able to just directly inject spores into BRF cakes and skip the LC part?

YES you are and I strongly recommend it. Use like 1-2, maybe drops of spore solution per hole, should be 4 holes per jar. You will have much better luck than fucking with that LC. A tek that says to make a LC with 1cc of spore solution is probably really old, like 10 years old.
Now a days agar is far easier to obtain and really improves things in our favor for bigger grows. BUT cakes are a reliable way to get enough to keep ones self stocked in shrooms.

Well this is great news to me. I won't bother with the LC and that means I can start the cakes now so it just takes less time which is great. Thank you so much. I only had 2 hows previously so I'll upgrade to 4 on my BRF jars.
Do you have any guide recommendations by chance?

Thanks again, this guide looks great! There are so many guides here it's hard to start and find the right one to go with.

In the future if you are searching around the shroomery, set the date range to only show post from about the last 5 years. This site has been around for 20 years and some of the old information is now outdated and proven NOT to be true. This hobby is relatively new and we learn new shit every year.

I’m not a fan of grow kits personally, But maybe try one, you can message me for the best one by my subjectivity. If you’re new at growing it helps you get the feel for things before you try something advanced. Low risk of contamination and a much much higher success rate than this. Regardless I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
