After reading about lc and a mycelium syringe im thinking can i put the two teks together and on birthing a cake taking a sample of mycelium and using it make a lc it seems a lot simpler than making the myc syringe and not needing a multi spore syringe unless you want to grow another strain
has anyone got a reason this would not work as ive convinced myself it will ?

It will work... but you might consider growing those cakes out and taking a tissue sample of the best few shrooms you get, and then make the according number of LC's.
Good job on yer first grow!

Well my glasses are doing fine one from the second batch the one i refer to as the wet one is just taking over you can almost watch it grow which is great its real thick myc the dryer jars are more strand like which kinda fits the rhyzomorphic grow but having never seen this before i am yet too learn. ive just ordered some sphagnum peat moss which im assured will be fine for casing a couple of my cakes 50/50 style with verm, and some baby bottles for making the lc tek its all getting pretty cool think ive accidently found a hobby which will last me years im hooked

Heres an update of my grow same as before the one wetter glass with the very strong mycelium is going well and the other 3 dryer mixes are moving but the mycelium is wispy and not as thick as the wet one infact looks nothing like the same ive got some pics below but note the glasses that looks 100% colonised are not even 20% but is the dry floury mix i done first so anyway heres some pics
 This is 1st batch dryer mix but strong bit of myc
 This one is dry mix to but wispy and hard to see in this pic
 this is the wet mix and as you can see good strong myc
i did think at 1st the dryer mix due to looking so different was a nasty but after looking through the gallery ive seen otherwise but the contrast between the wet and dry mix myc is amazing the wet is real thick not sure why , but im guissing the spores in all the mixes werent distributed evenly as i only shook the syringe once during each ennoculation ?! Any feed back comments anything at all are welcome and appreciated !!

O.k my glasses are doing well same as normal bit more growth though ive ordered some spores from 101 being cambodian brazilian and hawaii mushroom spores and am currantly awaiting delivery they are great value as with special delivery they still only work out £10 each and ive been paying £19.95 for one here in england, the only difference is next day delivery. ive just found out im gonna go work in ireland for four weeks soon:( so my lc may have to wait but ill give that more thought later.

ARg, the green meanies, have had a few of them, now that i have a glovebox i should hopefully only see greenies everyonce in a while.
Its all looking good, once the jars look 100% leave them for about 5 days, then dunk for 24 hours, roll in some verm then into your fruiting chamber, with lots of humidity, give plenty of air exchang.

yeah i think a glove box makes a big difference i used one but its been weeks without myc growth in 3 glasses and the baddies must have got in but ive sprayed my cupboard with dettol and ill do it once a day to be safe apart from that everything is ok its a bit buggin that the other three didn do nothing but i think thats my fault for not shakin the syringe up enough but ive got that covered now so all is good

even with a glovebox u can still get baddies, a glovebox doesnt guareentee a completly sterile enviroment, it just provides an enclosed atmosphere where contams are less likely to land on anything (still air)

Im just doing a bit of study on using pf cakes as spawn for using with poo and straw seems that casing with just verm and peat moss doesnt really give a higher yeild ..

So two of my glasses are pretty much 100% colonised and have just set up my fc to make sure i can get every thing perfect and so far i have a temp at 72f and humidity at 90% so am gonna work on the temp a little and i think by the time i spray the fc a little over the next couple of hours ill get the humidity spot on
ive just pc the 3 glasses that are dead and will empty and bleach them tommorow
still waiting on my spores from 101 hopefully they will arrive soon am going to try the myc syringe tek to keep the amazonian going but will also try spore printing
so far so good only wish i had the incubater at 86 f the whole time cos they have really grown since i raised the temp I have a question if any one can help the wet glass that i have mentioned in this tek and started real strong and has real thick myc has slowed since i upped the temp where the others have spead up any ideas to why ??

so the story goes out of the four remaining glasses ive ive still two incubating the one that stalled i have opened in a glove box and done the syringe tek got a massive amount of myc and have ennoculated four more brf cakes just to see if i acn get that down the half of cake ive put into the fc and am waiting to see if it grows on 
In the mean time one of my colonises cakes is being dunked after a four day waiting period that ill roll and put into fc tommorow im just waiting on two more glasses thats in the incubater almost colonised so its all go  just need my spores to turn up now and ill be  peace and good fortune

I'm not sure why ur jars seemed to speed up after raising the temps.
myc growth will usually slow after 83. 86 is too high and generally favours growth of contams.
80 is just fine. stalled growtgh could be down to co2 build up or . I'm thinking more along the lines of too much moisture.

Should be fine, as long as all the uncolinised bits are cut of, if done probably you should get a few shrooms.
I have 3 cakes of lipa yia waiting to pin (2 days in FC) i probably could have got another flush of my old cakes, but spores everywhere (left me shrooms a day too late for picking) and decided to harvest what was there and clean everything out and give me a wee break from the shrooms.
