Although i may advise others in a general way regarding all types of mushroom grows, and may even post question from other forums about growing "active" mushrooms, i only grow non-"active" mushrooms and edibles.

I don't have baby bottles, thats why I asked about making LC in quart jars.
+ I only have light Karo, I can't find any honey.

In you tek, what is the broken glass for?

You can use karo in qt jars if you like.6 mm of karo for every 200ml of water.I use the shards of glass to rip the mycelium into usable pieces when I shake it because other wise there would be no way on earth you could suck it into a regular size syringe.I have actually had it clog the needle of even my giant syringe if it isn't riped up enough to fit through the needle You wont have that problem with karo cause it never gets thick to began with but I would still toss em in anyway:thumbup:
