Because sometimes eating cookies in bed IS a deal breaker... that's why.

One time too many is what it was...

It would break up so I can get it out the freakin' needle. Never had a LC syringe that looked like this before. Maybe just my inexperience.

Can mycelium itself get contaminated? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

It's called endohyphal bacteria (EHB).

At least one endohyphal bacteria is even known to pass through sporulation into child cultures.

I don't have any evidence.
The idea comes from Bod's easy AF bucket tek

"Coir works better cooked, you can simply hydrate coir with tap water and use it as a substrate, but mycelium enjoys cooked coir more, hence why I use an insulated bucket.

I find the temperatures in the bucket to be well above 170F over an hour later. This makes the coir come out a nice dark color which is what I look for. "

Yeah that's basically been my solution is just add an extra quart of water and sacrifice the top layer of jars.

So 4 quarts is okay to run? How much is the max?

---

The manual says 2/3 full is the max for pressure cooking.

---

just a quick point here that logically speaking, the manual assumes you're putting sealed containers in there and thus reducing the volume of the pressurized area.  we always use vented jars which do little to reduce pressurized volume, so while I'd never advise someone to deviate from engineering specifications, there may be a little leeway in this use-case.

I just got a B+ culture syringe but I’ve been seeing so many negative comments on the strain’s potency I’m not sure if its worth it to even inject my jars. Advice?

<snip>  ive never understood the point of lc when nobody trusts it enough to use without testing it on a plate to begin with anyway so to me its like... why not just use the plate then?

My first grow were B+ from a vendor LC syringe. Im still growing and harvesting from it a year latter thanks to spore prints. I can tell you 3g gave me full on fractal vision like looking through stained glass, eyes watering constantly for about 30 minutes, laughing at nothing for like an hour and a cool mellow trip watching the trees dance. Lasted about 5 to 6 hours. Lemon tek tea from the 3 grams dried. Grow and try them is all we can do with all types you will eventually find the ones you like most. Its the first tub in my signature also for the B+.

Heya, could someone point me to or just remind me of any tips for oven dehydrating jars of already dried goods before long-term sealing? Thanks for any help...
