What was your chosen method, what was your yield like? Also, how much did you take and what was the trips like! :grin::grin:

I would give the bag and syringe a shot.

Dont know why the talk of spore syringes getting so knocked up about. That’s all I used. And, I had tek where with one spore print I pull and inoculated somewhere around fifty oat grain quart jars.

That tek was where I would take pint mason jar full with water, sterilise jar and contents in pressure cooker. Then, using oven on with open door as workspace, I would scrap one spore print into that pint and with lid on that pint sit in fridge until use. I would pull out that pint spore solution jar and with syringe I would grab the pc’d jars and place to oven rack, oven on and working inside oven as oven door lays open. I would burn the tip of syringe and put needle tip into pint spore solution, pull up to fill and inject the quart jar on rack inside on oven. I would just refill syringe over and over again as would have dozens of jars to inoculate.

Never did I get a contamination.  I was making own spore prints.

I miss my grows now come to think of it.

Cheers for the reply WhoManBeing, that actually sounds pretty great. You make it sound like you had a LOT going on haha :wink: It all sounds very complicated to me, probably because I've never even taken a spore print before, but I do want to learn how and take atleast one for every grow I do! If you miss your grows, why not grow more? :smirk::thumbup:

I followed Broke Boy tek, its not the best tek out there, id definitely suggest PK tek. I chose the tek before I did any deep research here and now realize it was not the best choice but it definitely helped me start and get my "feet wet".

I did however end up with a fairly good harvest of Trinity mushrooms.

2 grams had me feelin real good.

Space for the place inhibits a grow.

Pick a tried true tek and follow along.

Thanks Rukus, I'll research a bit into both. I think I will follow the step by step of Ziran's pf tek guide alongside my inject and forget bag to see what works best, I already know the pf tek has a massive cost advantage. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Human Being, is this essentially you saying that it all depends on where I place my grow? Where's best, my house is very cold, should I set up a tent?

If you have a cold house, id suggest getting an oil space heater for ambient heating and insulating blankets. It can help keep your jars warmer in the winter months.

Cheers Chaos it's a good suggestion, they are a little bit expensive on electricity though. Perhaps I could just change my boiler settings to have my radiators come on 4 times a day, but this is also expensive. They're all things I'll have to consider :crazy:

PS I have an electric blanket that we put on before bed and its amazing.

How cold is your grow space? Mine is between 15-19 Celsius.

Id avoid an electric blanket as it can dry out your substrate. The other option is blankets. You bundle them up with blankets like they are pets. Putting them in tupperware totes also helps keep them warm as well.

I haven't tested it yet but I know my house gets cold at night, around 10-12c, I assume this is too cold and will properly slow up my whole colonizing process.

The electric blanket stays in bed with me :wink:

Maybe I could try out insulating the spawn but isn't that practically similar to incubation?

10-12 Celsius is a chilly house but the mushrooms will grow. How warm is it during the day?
I use this little oil filled radiator when it gets below 15. It’s great. I leave it on low so electricity use is minimal. It shuts off if it gets tipped. I put a couple of 20 litre water jugs on either side for thermal mass.

Oh nice, the house during the day probably hits 16ish. I will have to invest in a thermostat and probably something to measure the humdity. Maybe I will invest in a small electric oil radiator with a built in thermostat that turns itself on when the room gets cold, but then to me I feel like I might as well just use a heat mat if thats the case.

They are quite different. Insulating with blankets just keeps the cold away from your jars. Incubating uses direct heat and should be avoided as it dries out your substrate.

It can also help to keep your jars near something that generates even a small amount of heat just as a lamp or computer.

Thanks for the advice, I will be getting a hygrometer delived to see what temperatures/ humidities my room gets to at night and then I'll make a decision. I will definitely insulate the spawn at least.

Welcome to Shroomery, looks like you've found what your looking for in two days, path to medicine and support by real people.  I followed pf tek, and have found more than just medicine.

I'll catch your grow log and watch your growth log.

Hi Broken Heart, thanks for the support. I think I'm gunna use grain jars and monotubs moving forward but I'll keep the thread posted with updates on what I decide to do with the inject and forget bag. Look forward to hearing from you in the future :smile:

Just use the bag as intended with the recommended 3 cc spore solution (earlier).

No reason to complicate things. Sometimes those bags produce.

Haha, funny story: The bag actually reccomends using an entire 20ml MSS and then to spend 5 whole minutes mixing the spores into the spawn.

This is what I found troubling. I hope they do produce otherwise I'll be a tiny bit upset; just saying in future I will be using either PC grain/brown rice jars for spawn and CVG for substrate in mono tubs, not sure what this tek's called specifically but it's the one I've seen most of on Youtube.
