inoculating: how much is too much?
    #26586294 - 04/08/20 12:46 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

i haven't matured to agar yet, so still using syringes for inoculation.  usually use jars, but am trying bags this time (had 6 jars all go bad  a couple of weeks ago, so thought it time to try something new--have only used bags once, with mixed success).  anyway, as i read through different grow logs, i see various opinions how much much to squirt for inoculation in bags and jars.  with quart jars, i usually used 2-3 cc each. now i'm working with 1 and 3 lb bags.  i was planning 4 cc for lb bags and 6-8 for 3 lb ones.  but i have to admit i'm still stuck on the "isn't more better?" thing.  is shooting that bag with a full 12 cc syringe just wasteful or is their a growing reason to keep it smaller doses? after just over a year off from growing, i'm still trying to get my groover back (not that it was ever much of a groove).  thoughts how squirtage amounts???...thanks

I’ve always used 1cc per qt. I’m not sure if that many ccs can mess with liquid content but I prefer my syringes to last longer. I normally do 4-5qt per bag using millet so I would use 4cc to knock up the bag, although I’ve never done it. I prefer agar>LC>spawn, so if you get a chance jump to agar than you only have to use a drop.

smaller the better. spore syringes, as you know, are not clean. the less of the spore syringe you inject, the fewer bad things you inject as well, and the spores have a fighting chance. I'm kind of curious though - you just had 6 jars go bad, why would you then jump to even more grain at a time? what's stopping you from going to agar now and how can we help you make that jump instead?

i guess mainly because i haven't had/taken the time to study up enough on agar to jump in yet...it seems a little daunting, but i'm going to give it ry next time around

Agar is one of the easiest parts of this hobby. It's a lot of fun and it's very disposable. Oh, you fucked a dish? Throw it away. Way better than throwing away that jar of grain on your shelf.
