Would honey-water multiply your spore supply?

If you only inject 1-2cc into each honey-water jar, and it grows myc.. how much myc do you have put into each jar of substrate? Only a little from each honey water jar?

Just follow your typical inoculation guidelines as you would with spore water. Ex: .25, .50 cc's each injection hole, per tek of course.

The answer was given, you use the same amount of liquid culture as you would spore solution. Like 1cc per jar.

To start a liquid culture (LC) from spores, you just want to MAKE SURE you inject a few, or more spores into the liquid in each container. It is not a matter of how many cc/ml of fluid you inject, it is a matter of just being sure some spores get into the solution.
Depending on the type jar you use, it's size & if you rig it with a filter, to it can breath a bit, plus something like a few cracked in half marbles to help agitate & CUT UP THE RESULTING MYC MASS into tiny bits.
you will find the mycelia mass is stringy. So much so, it can sometimes plug a syringe needle when you try to extract it. So before you extract any, you want to agitate the jar content - VERY WELL.
If not & you do get a syringe full. It is sort of like a syringe full of FINE SHORT THREADS. If you inject a syringe like that into a verm/brf type jar, ot a grain / wbs jar. You will generaly find most of the myc you inject, will stay on top, or near the top of the jar content. Simply because short thread/like myc will not travel in solution, like spores WILL.
SO..... (IMHO) you want to inject MORE MYC SOLUTION, than you would spore solution. How much more is on you to decide. For quarts of rye/wbs my foaf injects min. 2.5 cc/ml per jar. Then, shakes it gently a few times (right then) to insure myc is spread throught the jar. Instead of just near the top of the jar content.
This will result in colonization a bit more difficult to SEE on the jar sides, but will result in FASTER over/all colonization with liquid culture injection.
Having a stip plate / stir bar setup really helps out. Because you get THICK MYC & can stir it at very hugh RPM, which breaks the myc into tiny tiny threads, instead of long ones.
Hope this helps.

Really its also worth saying that liquid cultures are somewhat prone to contaminations, so be extra careful if you are a beginner. The way i stockpiled spores is i carefully grew out my first syringes in pf jars and printed every cap that i could...now i have way more than i need to play around with.

Was it a chain store than you bought your syringes from? like walgreens? I've found some at a feed store but the needles are very short

I got them from a feed store...it was the only way to get large gauge...had to settle for the short needles though.
