1 Drop

I wanted to know if anyone else has tried using 1 drop of spore solution?
A week ago I knocked up 24 jars with just one of the smallest drops I could in each hole. It was not a dark syringe at all not a single visible speck like that means anything. I was doing 12 jars per cc and some I would knock up 8 times just for more places to check. I have 4 places of growth in all the jars that I hit with 4 drops and at least 7 in the ones I did 8 in.
A few months ago I did the same thing darker syringe diffrent strain(like it matters) and every single jar had 4 colonized areas within 3 days.
All jars are colinized at 23.7 to 25 in the case the jars come in pf tek jars.
So whats the use in putting so much spores in each jar?

You dont have to put that much in.. the reason most use a lot is to ensure you injected spores and not just a small amount of water. Celsius huh?

It took allot of practice not to get that stupid syringe to just squirt a bunch out its like the get stuck or something and then when it does move it just fills it. I usually have to push up from the bottom of the plunger with one hand and push down with the other to keep it from going to hard when it lets go lol if ya know what I mean I'm stoned.

i use just the smallest drop that will barely fall off the needle when I use a ss for a petri dish. So yes, it only takes a drop

when you use less it also helps to keep contam down because you introducing less spores, if that makes sense, like when you do agar isoltes you transfer the smallest peice of myc to ensure its cleanlyniss, if thats spelled right, lol

Are you talking about 1/2 pint jars? I squirt 1/2cc in each inoculation hole when I do quart jars. Also, even when I do pint jars, I squirt more than a drop against the glass. (You see the solution run the length of the jar all the way to the bottom). I do this because the mycelium will start colonizing at many different points along the entire length of the jar thus aiding in faster total colonization. I guess if you're using 1/2 pint jars, a drop would do. Never thought about that. By the way, LOVE YOUR NEW AVATAR!!!
