Noob Q. about Innoculating 1/2 pt jars

I've just received my 1st 10cc syringe-I'm so excited.
I have everything ready to start, but realized I'm in the dark about how many cc's I can/should use in each 1/2 pt jar??
Some old posts say you can do up to 10 1/2 pt jars with 10ccs. Is this a good number to shoot for? Should I go less? What is the ideal # of 1/2 pt jars that should be done with 10cc?

I'd say you could probably knock up 5-20 with it. I'd shoot for around 10 (1/2 cc in two holes)
It's really just a matter of growth speed. Don't put too much in; you could upset the water/verm/flour balance, and cause some unhappy contams.
Good luck!

Shoot up 5 of them with 2 cc's a piece, then isolate some mycelium, and inocc more, and more, and more jars, until your sick of inocculating. Heres a link on making a mycelium syringe:

Most say 1cc per jar, 1/4 cc per hole (4 holes). I usually end up using 1.5-2 ccs per jar though...you just have to watch out for water content - don't introduce too much extra liquid.

It's usually a safe bet to use 2 cc's, but never anymore than that. Another rule of thumb for you man, when using bigger jars, the amount of solution does not change. You'll see much faster mycelium growth with 2 cc's, giving the fact that the incubation temps are right. If you decide to make mycelium syringes, you'll tremendously speed up colonization, and reduce the risk of contams.

Also man, the mycelium syringe, atleast in the last PF grow I did, I got like 30 1/2 pint jars knocked up with it, only one got contaminated, and the grow was great. Check out the Mushroom Growing Made Easy video in my signature, that should help a bit too.

The inoculation of however many jars is totally up to you. I doubt you're probably a mathematician, but just decide how many cakes you want to inoculate, and how many holes you want (I will be using 4 in my first grow for maximum distribution of the spore solution). Some things you might consider:
How many cakes will the terrarium I'm going to use fit comfortably?
Would x amount of cakes be enough for me for my first grow?
Would x amount of cakes produce enough 'shrooms to meet my goal (lets hope your goal isn't 2 lbs of dry mushrooms)?
Happy 'shrooming!

5 shrooms! Thanks! I was kind of looking for a good way to do live inoculation (injection of live mycelium rather than spores, whatever that's called) without the open jar problem of grain-to-grain.
I guess I hadn't thought it through too far, and figured it wouldn't work.

Wow great tips..thanks guys..and Stoned..i never would have considered doing that..but it makes sense. My goal is to just be able to get at least 1 oz of dried shrooms, and to keep that strain alive by making a couple spore prints. Awesome!

I ended up doing 7 jars. All of them doing well now.

Quick colonization! Very nice job. Be sure to do spore prints and/or tissue cultures from here on out... in fact, make extra, because it's always good to have a few million spore prints in backup, just in case you need them one day. Ran into that situation myself--5cc of inoculant left, and no current fruiters...
