Couple of quick LC questions....

I'm using this tek:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5238137/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1/nt/14
Only 2 questions, I've got my jar boiling right now. I measured it at almost exactly 500 ML. I've read that 4% honey is the perfect amount, but anything higher can inhibit growth. I'm thinking the jar will be about 3/4 full (375 ML) so I'll use 2 TBSP and just a scoach of another, for roughly 12 ML or just over 3% so I don't go heavy. I've read light is better than heavy, correct?
My next question is, this tek doesn't mention anything to agitate the growth with, I've read broken glass or broken marbles should go into LC's? Is this necessary? I don't have a stir plate, but could find a piece of broken glass or two.
Thanks for any help.

yep thats a good ammount of honey and yea some people do like to use agitators in their lc but its not ABSOLUTELY necessary. you can do with just shaking the jar every once in a while. the best thing is a stir plate though and theyre pretty easy to make with just a few things

I ruined my first four LC's by shaking them and getting the micropore tape on the top wet. Even when I thought I was being very careful, I still managed to contaminate them.
I'd say either get an agitator, or don't try and agitate at all. I'm using screws right now for agitators, because I'll be able to control them with a magnet instead of shaking the whole jar all over the place to try and get it to break apart.

Nearly every time I didn't use an agitator (always two shards of broken class for me)My LC clumps together and gets so thick it is impossible to suck it into a syringe for inoculation

I use two marbles. Works good for me.
