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
