BB LC Tek: Regarding the bottles you buy.

I stopped at a local grocer and purchased 2 small, cheap, name-brand baby bottles (Gerber for new-born), I believe. I got them due to their small size. It seems to me like they are a little flimsy and like they won't stand up to PCing.
I would like to confirm that I am not looking for a different type or brand of bottle. I already used caulking on the nipples, so I am keeping them. Any thought on this?
One more question while on the subject....Does the liquid from the LC hold any of the power, or is it just the mycelium in the jar that is the active ingredient?
Thanks as usual for any potential replies.

EvenFlo are the bottle agar recommends. He says they're the only bottles he's found that'll hold up in the PC

I see. Thank you. I am assuming this is a Wally Mart find? What is the price range on them, if I may be so bold?

Roger that....I am out of here shortly. God I hate to shop at Wally-Mart. I wish I still had a wife for this one task.

Thanks for the advice guys! I am now in posession of 6 of the little buggers. All curing with a dab of silicone.
I again appreciate the excellent, quick answers......but about the second half of the question....

I'm not sure I understand. The liquid is a diluted solution with 4% nutrients, 96% water. This is enough, but not too much nutrient to allow mycelium growth. When you inoculate using an LC, it's the chunks of mycelium that spawn the growth in the solid substrate.

What I mean is this. When you have a completed liquid culture, if you only gather the water will it still colonize a cake, or must there be actual white items that get transfered?

Thats what I thought too until I tried it out Delinquentes. Once you use the marble agitator and break up the cloud of myc, then ALOT of the water/myc mix you suck up has the myc in it. You may not SEE it all, but its there.
I did my first LC grain innoc about 2 weeks ago. The first few days, I was like....pfffft fuck LC, I'm sticking with spores. But THEN, on the third day...WOW. There it was everywhere.
Usually, my 1 quart grain jars take about 3 week to colonise. Now with the LC, its only taking a bit under 2. And that extra week means an extra flush in the long run, ya know?

Those Gerber bottle hold up just fine in the PC IMO

Leaving the lids loose while in the PC will fix your pressure problem too. The whole idea of the nipple is to not have poly-fill. That way you can shake them well and not have to worry about wet poly-fill drawing contaminants in.
