noobie needing some advice please
    #4332463 - 06/24/05 12:50 PM (18 years, 7 months ago)

I already posted this in the pub and they told me to piss off basically, so i'll try here. well, i'm going to try and grow mushrooms for the first time, i'm going to use the cake tek because it seems fairly easy for the first-timer. I have my spore syringe, and i want to start mycelium growth using a honey/water mix in a jar to start mycelium growth, i found something on this site about that honey tek, but now i can't find it, could someone please help? give me a link or something?

If I where you I would just clean the needle with alc and inject. If your just starting out like me, your just opening yourself up to more mistakes. You could inoculate up to 12 jars with that 1 syrynge, then atleast 1 of 12 of those jars is bound to flush unless your a complete oaf, and then you can make a print from one of those shrooms, or make a liquid solution. But I am not really in a position to give atvice because mine are not yet fruiting.

Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense...

"Religion is a defense against a religious experience"
              Carl G. Jung

 
"So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience."

1 tbsp light corn syrup (karo syrup) 100 mL distilled water. I like to step that up to 250% for a pint jar, as in, 2.5 tbsp karo 250 mL water. You'll get a vigorous clump in each jar, and I'd say you could easily noc 12 jars with a 12 cc syringe, or even a 10 cc. Then I'd take most of those jars and don't shake the jars to evenly distribute unless you're trying to step up spawn fast. Instead, just suck up the concentration that will form in the middle and 'noc up 1 or 2 jars at most per syringe. This is a lot of cells, and should help your jars colonize quickly. I think it's important to mention the best way to inoculate with a syringe in a jar of grain or PF. You want your stopper on the syringe, the part you usually mash down, to stay in position as you slide the rest of the syringe up. This way there isn't a high concentration of spores/liquid mycelium in one spot, it gets distributed evenly.

I agree with Realnuggetz.  Just use the spores from the syringe for now.  When you have 2-3 cc's left, you can do LC and extend it.  By that time you'll have some experience growing and such.

Good luck  :thumbup:

yea, but the thing is, i dont have all the supplies for making the cakes now, so i'd like to start using the karo/water tek and get the mycelium growing, so when i have my stuff it wont take 3 more weeks to get completely colonized
