Hey ive decided on trying to do LC when my next syringe gets here to cut time. Im familiar with basically the honey/water LC but im worried about contams. Whats the best way to do this? Also will I be able to do everything with the one syringe the spores come in or do I really have to go buy some? Thanks id appreciate any help.

do all of you inocs. then with any leftover squirt it into the LC as for which TEK to use.... I agree you couldn't have even tried to search this because there are hundreds of posts out there on this topic.

Best tek = prepare 3-4% malt extract (or honey or karo) solution, sterilize, and inoculate.
Pretty simple.

Before you attempt an LC
I would suggest you make an LC type lid.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4829291#Post4829291 agar's tube top lids
Or, even more sophisticated.
  
  
An LC is only as good as the lid that protects it from contaminates.

Good luck - posting something like this is asking for one of two things to happen;
1) Very mean and vague responses
2) Actually getting answers but 500 different opinions on which was best.
That's the thing I've noticed in my rookie days of cultivation is that there are so many different ways to do things, it's best to figure out what tek you want to use for a certain thing, and ask specific questions about IT rather than looking for a tech itself.
Anyway, when my spores arrive I'll be doing the one linked above - I haven't found another easy one to even try so hopefully it works.

Fortunately for people without plastic lids, injection ports, and spendy micropore filters, a tinfoil lid will work just as well if you don't shake the culture up.
Creamcorn has the right idea in this thread... http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=Forum2&Number=5876889
It shows how to make a good LC with just the standard lid with a hole punched in it and some tinfoil to cover it. You can put your finger over the tinfoil on top of the hole and shake it if you don't have a mag stirrer or dislike gentle swirling for some reason.
I have some of those micropore filters, but I haven't tried them on any LCs yet. I like to save them for filter sterilization of antibiotics and the like.

wronguy is starting a LC FAQ chack it out- search option is your friend and if you do not like typing things into little boxes at least search a few pages of the cultivation forums firstit will usually solve your prob.
