Well.... my first growis over, 2 casings done.... I started a new batch and also went for it with LC
Here is a pic of my culture (cambodian) after 4 days of inoculating.
 (magnetic stearer OFF ! so the picture is better)
I just put half of little spoon of honey in the jar with watter, shaked it to desolve honey. PC it for HALF hour, cooled it and inoculated it.
There are small pieces of mic. in there, a lot of them.
I use a magnetic stearer....

an hour is tooo long. 15 mins is better. Carmelization of the sugar is no good for myc growth. +it is sterile after 15 mins anyway. Liquid is different than grain.

yeah i would say so. And my mistake, I PCed the jar for an half an hour
stil too much? the honey watter stayed the same before and after PC.... Mic. growth is VERY VERY FAST....
I'll take a pic today and post it here....
I stera the LC jars for about half an hpur on the magnetic stearer and then put it vack into my incubating area (next to the hot watter rezervoar)....and i'ts taking on so fast i'll have to buy some jars or get them somewhere so i can start inuculating.......
are the contams visible before you test the LC? or it's the only way to know that LC is contam free to do the test?
THANKS!

I have done honey and karo and 15 min tops and i mean tops with a pc. 10 min works just fine. A magnetic stirrer is a wonderful thing when it comes to LC. I thought about making them for newbies who do not want to spend alot of money and do not have enough confidents in them selves to build them, they are very very easy to do.

i made the magnetic stearer with the tips from here
PC fan + 2 covers of CD, 3xlittle jogurt cups (and i mean little, my kid eats them ), some tape, one old hard drive (magnet) and one OLD adapter 7,5V some glue and some tape. I will make a pic of it when i get home and eat and like always I have to burn one right after the lunch 
I'll be keeping this post uptodate until my first time doing LC is over and I'll go on cloning the shrooms.........
THIS SHIT IS SO FUN!

I made ,ine from wood with an adjustable platform so you can get the spinning just right. I need to take pic of mine and post it. Any one should be able to figure it out from the pic. But good job on building your own. They are very nice for LC and speed them up so much better.

I stopped growing completely before I really had got into liquid mycelium....but it has so much potential I know that much(it can take time to get everything right tho) I experiented with straw water/ millet water, honey(I think the right honey will work tho) nothign worked for me until I tried light/white corn syrup...I even tried regular corn syrup and while I'm sure the mycelium would have grown it was just too thick and cloudy...if u get your times down for sterilization u can keep basically crystal clear clarity with white corn syrup

you can get good ones in some old hardrive.
open it and you will find magnets in there
if not sure where is it, take a peace of metal and feel it where it is

OK
A QUICK TEK....TEK???????? IT?S CHILDS PLAY GUYS AND GIRLS!!!!!!
1. get the fan (PC fan, 120mm diameter i think it is) 2. get 12 DC volt fan is great, het a power suply - charger for the mobile phone or something like it, you can get a transformer from AC to DC which has a switch on it to select the voltage you want (great for adjusting the speed of the stearer if you want - I don't because i stear them and put them back into incubator) 3. get MAGNETS FROM AN OLD HARD DRIVE (don't even think about other magnet's, believe me!!!!) 4. 2 CD covers or something similar (top and bottom of the stearer)
5. some spacer so you can glue them on the CD cover around the fan
6. START GLUING and stop right when you want to glue the magnets on 7. try the stearer first (WITH THE JAR MAN!!!) 8. after adjusting the magnet, glue it RIGHT THERE WHERE IT WAS after adjusting 9. glue the second cover on the speacer so the jar is as close as possible to the magnets without touching them (while spinning)
guys/girls ----- USE YOUR BRAIN IT AIN'T SO HARD!!
AND THAT WAS NOT MY IDEA - JUST MY VARIATION ON THE TEK THAT IS ALLREADY BEEN MADE...... search it

Splifner has a very easy tek on magnetic stirrers and if you need clarifcation on anything just pm me and I will help the best that I can. I made mine from wood and has anjustable platform to spin the stir stick(the thing you spin in the jar) at different speeds, slow and steady to help produce the myc and then fast to break it up before use.

i only use the stearer to break up the mic, i just put the jar on it for an hour or so....
no need to be on the stearer all the time i think, i rather keep it in the incubator....
I am going to inoculate jars with my LC today, went for RYE
3$ per kg of eco RYE, cheap or expensive ??
