a 10 cc syringe can inoculate 12 jars.
What you SHOULD do is make a LC

well i am currently on my first grow and i made a lc incase of contams bc lc's fully colonzied can colonzie alot faster than just straight up spores into jar. If i was you i would do more than 1 or 2 jars due to its your first time and you could get contams. I say 5 or 6 half pint jars. the syringes will keep for quite sometime just use search engine ( thats the best thing here). Lc's will make 10cc=100cc and can be kept for months. What method are you doing?

well if i was you i would case the jars once they are fully colonzied. If you do cakes they are great but not worth the effort put into it. Casing is easier to me and you get alot better of a yeild. what strain?

A casing layer is a non nutritious layer that goes over your substrate. In this case (no pun intended) I'd assume that he means you should brake up the cake and either put in a tray and add a casing layer or layer the chunks in with a bulk substrate and then case that once it's fully colonized.
Personally, since this is your first time I'd dunk the cakes in water overnight once they are fully colonized and then roll them in vermiculite, put them in your fruiting chamber and then lightly mist the dry verm after an hour or two.
-------------------- Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew.

Wow i did not even relize there were so many ways to do this..
ok here is my plan, tell me if it will work..
#1 inoculate a few jars of 50/50 Verm/Wheat Flour with 10 ml each after they have been sterilized in a preasure cooker.
#2 stick in a shoe box under my bed and wait.
#3 Check them after 7-10 days to make sure there is no contam
now once they are FULLY colinized (3-4 weeks or more if needed) ... here is where everyone has different opinions...
Im all confused and i HAVE read the faqs
I need an operation that is small and simple..
please suggest away.. PICS are even better

This is what he is telling you to do Crumble and Case Tek
You can either do that or fruit the cakes directly as shown in this PF tek
Either will work but I would recommend the first. You'll get much better initial results if done properly.

ok i think i got most of my answers but have a few more (sorry i just want to do this right...
From my reading and the pics.. The shrooms (once caked) need no other substrate, they would grow sitting on aluminuf foil as long as the temp/humidity was correct. is this correct? So i could basicaly colinize the jars and just dump em in to a plastic box as long as i find a way to keep the humidity up and temp correct..
