how many ccs of spore solution from a commercial syringe are needed to inoculate a half gallon jar of wbs grain spawn. also which strains work well with straw and which should be avoided with it. does cambodian do ok with straw?

honestly every strain i have worked with does well with straw. some do better with straw than with a poo or compost.

cambodian do great on straw. just make sure the spawn rate is high because straw contams pretty easily, usually within two weeks of pasteurization.

3 to 4 cc's will be plenty for a half gallon. Personally, I'd recommned quarts for spawn. They're finished sooner and less chance of the substrate packing tightly and becoming anerobic in the center of the jar.

Substrate preference is by species, therefore all strains of cube will do fine on straw.

The amount of spore solution will depend on the amount of spores in the solution. Lately I've noticed that most vendor syringes don't contain many visible spores. :frown: 

You also have to take into account the final water content after adding the spore solution to the grains. I agree with RR that quart jars are easier to work with.

Study up on LC's, if stretching spore solution is on your mind.
