LC full growth question

does a liquid culture usually reach a certain point and then pretty much stop growing or does it colonize most of the jar
does this look normal for an 11 day old lc?

From what I understand it reaches a certain point and stops growing, since it uses all the nutrients in the water. Your water looks very clear, meaning it's used up the honey. I'm still a noobie though, wait for an expert to reply.

yep thats absolutely normal for 11 days. in fact, i might just declare it better than normal, since many have trouble their first few tries at it. 
time to use it, or refrigerate it for safe keeping til you're ready to use it.

Just wondering, My half pint jars made from multi spore innocs have about 150ml of karo in them, but after 10 days, only have a few pieces of myc about the size of a quarter....Is myc the same as spores..meaning if I break it up enough, there will be invisible (to the naked eye) myc. floating around?
The reason I ask is, I have 14 jars to knock up with 10 cc's each of this stuff....But I know if I break up these small myc bits I wont get a visible bit into each jar...does that mean none made it in...or will there be tons of invisible myc. everywhere so I can just suck up my whole agitated LC in my 140cc syringe and innoc away, shaking after every jar..??

velocity the reason its clear is i used karo instead of honey. i like the clear water too, that way you can see anything else besides the mycelium that might be growing
ghostofbmarley i used almost a pint jar full of water with karo and about 1.5 cc's of spore solution
thanks for the help creamcorn ill stick it in the fridge now

Even though I'm a bit jealous I am giving you x5 for the great looking LC.
In a separate LC post I saw you mention using vanilla in the solution... If so, how much of that did you use?

WOW way too much Karo,150 ml is enough to knock up a gallon of LC,you need to follow the info on this site if you want good results,since Karo is about 20% water 5ml to 100ml of water is optimal.and when you get around to inoculating those jars I would be wary of using 10ccs in a 1/2 pint you are just asking for an over saturated jar and over saturation is an invite for contams.Check out wronguys LC FAQ thread and do not stray from the info there.
