Sugar water soaked wood dowels for faster colonization

So I was thinking on using a 3% solution, relative to volume of the wood dowels when they would be soaked, roughly eyeballed, since even higher percentages or lower seem to work well from what I have been told. It goes without saying that they would be PCd and inculated in jars for this.
Then make them a little more on the dry side and inoculate with a ton of woolover LC. Could this increase colonization times? The idea came from the fact of hof much faster my woodlovers colonize my agar than my grain and wood.
So anyone tried this? If not and people are interested I can post my results once I have done a side by side comparison.

No reply means no one has ever done this or noone thinks this could work or is interested about seeing me try it out?

"the fact of hof much faster my woodlovers colonize my agar than my grain and wood." Seems like you are basing everything on the assumption that its the water content of the medium that makes the difference, not other characteristics of agar. And even if that was right, there is only so much sugar water that wood and grains can soak.
Im not really knowledgeable about this but I guess same thing goes for you as all other people that make good write ups or teks: try it and then tell us what happens. Difficult to discuss something on no grounds.
