I Want To Just Inject Straight To Monotub With Spore Solution/L.C.?

Good day, all.
I don't understand why everyone goes, "NO U CANNOT INOCULATE A MONOTUB!" Why not?
"u cant inoculate a montuib cuz itsa take too long" -- It would take less time if I used more spore solution or L.C., right? 'Cause more of that means more early coverage, right?
"u can nt unoculate a monotubbs cause it will contam" -- If I make sure my work environment is disinfected, I'm clean, the monotub was sterilized, and the substrate was added hot, I don't see how there's more of a risk for contamination.
"wat exactly r u gona do?" -- I want to take a ready-to-grow monotub of substrate, stick a disinfected spore syringe or L.C. syringe through the stuffing, and just spurt spores onto the substrate generously and let it grow.
"u dont know tha first thang about grain spawn..." -- I have done P.F. technique enough to know what's going on.
Are not 2 sparrows sold for a penny? And outdoor mushrooms grow and thrive without any sterilization, nor grain-spawn. Plus, open-air indoor grow kits, w.t.f. then? And consider even the P.F. tek; P.F. tek mushrooms don't bulk-a-tize or store away in grain-spawn, yet our Heavenly Creator definitely causes mushrooms to sprout out from these jars.
Why are you saying it's impossible to inject straight to monotub?

super obvious reasons, the biggest one is that it is simply not enough mycelium.
But- someone did try an experiment with that a while ago, but I never followed up.

I remember from the P.F. technique, it said:
"When you inoculate your jar, less spore solution is more. If you use more, more mycelium will spawn, but it won't really accelerate this process."
Therefore, I thought a whole monotub can be colonized by applying generously spore solution onto its substrate, why not.
If you could find that experiment you said, that might be helpful.

Will definitely not work. I do not want to down your idea...this is friendly advice,,, just do it the right way. Follow a proven tek to the T. Monotubs and pf cakes are totally different. Monotub substrate should not be sterilized. If by some miracle it does work you’ll end up.....wait a minute!! It’s not gonna work

And YES YOU CAN INOCULATE A MONOTUB....with GRAIN SPAWN

I think contamination is the main problem. If you can seal your monotub contam-tight, pressure cook it, aseptically inoculate then reseal it air-tight, that will probably work, but I'm guessing that's not an option. But merely putting hot substrate and injecting through monotub polyfil is unlikely to result in anything close to sterility. The uncolonized grains in the substrate are ripe for colonization by contams. It's certainly possible that you can make it work if you use a large amount of clean LC, but its much more likely you are going to grow lots of mold.

I think the better question is why, why would you want to attempt this? Even if this were to have good results what's the point in trying to do it this way? Spores are too precious and not to mention dirty to try something like this. To me it's almost like asking if it's possible to skin an animal only using sticks.

You may have technique but you clearly don't have the research. If I were u I would just follow popular teks and keep the good results.

It's simple. Spores or L.C. land on substrate and proceed to bring forth mycelia.
Mycelium eats its way through all it can, covering the substrate throughout.
Mycelium consolidates together, turning itself into a cake of substrate energy.
The mycelium cake realizes it's out of space, and sends up fruiting bodies up and to where light is.
Fruiting bodies grow and are either collected or drop their spores and die.
Infection is merely an invasive foreign presence that landed on the friendly substrate.
What don't I get?

inoc a monotub with spores lol thats the dumbest thing i think ive heard in a long time and belive me we see some real stupid shit.
the damn thing would contam out before it would even come close to being colonized plus its take a good god damn long time if it would even work at all.
use agar to grain to bulk like a normal person would 🤷🏼
even using LC is a stupid idea.
idk yall i smell a troll here

I love your posts, Totodile, and, frankly, I'd say don't let anyone discourage you from following your dreams. There's definitely not decades of experience and data from cultivators across this site that your idea completely ignores.
No criticism formed against your wonderful plan shall prosper, as the good book might put it. I'd go so far as to say this may be divinely inspired, and it would be a crime against heaven for you not to try this and see what happens.

Oh I get it You've ran this simulation through your head and in your head you see results.. The thing is is if you attempt that in reality the mushroom gods won't really give a fuck about your simulation.

Again, no basis of these accusations..
Like I said, using more solution should cover the substrate more rapidly, before an infection can work its way in.
What is this? David and Goliath?
"You come against me with mold spores and clubs, but I come to you in the Name of the LORD, Elohim Who-Suffices, the God of Israel.
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the infection army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and One will give all of you into our hands."

i agree. pretty dumb. Most starting out come up with all this ingenious shit and they eventually get good... this guy's going reverse into retardation.

You absolutely can inoculate a mono. Your results may not be what you are hoping to achieve. If you think it’s a better way to grow, please start a grow log and show us how it works. I know I’d love to follow along.

This.
Even if my brand new straight-to-monotub method (I'm gonna try enoki first time) flops in some way, it would mean it was not God's will for me to have it or for it to happen.
I have heard the people's arguments against straight-to-monotub already, and I'm not afraid, but faithfully optimistic.
