extra mileage from your syringe!

well this isn't rocket science but i've never seen it mentioned, i tried it, waited some time for the results to come in and it worked perfect so i thought i'd pass it along.
got an empty syringe after innoc'ing your jars? don't wash 'er out yet! make up a LC (like the honeywater tek), flame sterilize to be safe, stick it in your culture, suck up some honey liquid, squirt it back out, repeat two or three times. there's still thousands of spores stuck to the insides of your syringe you can't see that would otherwise have been wasted. best to do this directly after nocking up your other jars while everything is relatively clean. only drawback is maybe a couple flecks of verm/brf that made its way into your needle while innoculating (if you did pf cakes) but they cause no real harm. if you plan on re-using your syringe wash it out real good right away so there's no honey residue (aka 'nutes just waiting to feed contams)
i did this on not one, but two jars, using the same empty syringe one after the other. both grew at an agressive rate without contam. (wonder how many more times i could have repeated it with success? two jars of LC is more than enough for a while anyway!) of course your mileage may vary, but an LC jar is good for many more batches and if it works for you, voila, you just turned an "empty" syringe into enough liquid to inoculate lots more til your hearts content. enjoy.

yeah never thought of sucking in some LC to clean out the spores from my syringes. Awesome idea!
