simple spore syringe question

i am going to noc up 10 BRF (1/2 pint) jars with 10cc of spore solution. i read some posts about people injecting 2 ccs per jar and having faster colonization times. i will only be doing 1 cc per jar. does injecting more solution have anything to do with amount of fruits? or is it that it just colnizes a little faster in some situations? thanks

Please don't quote me, and I apologize if I'm wrong, but I don't think it really has anything to do with fruiting at this point, just quicker colonizing times. When you spawn to a bulk substrate, that's when the amount of colonized mycelium matters. Hope it gives you some insight.

To some, fallen trees are ugly. But in reality, it is the circle of life at its finest. This is a beautiful world, its time that we recognize that before its all gone."

Your final yield (i.e. number of mushies) depends on the following things:
1. Surface Area. When you case, the general rule of thumb is the larger the surface area, the more mushrooms per flush. There are some exceptions.
2. Species. Generally speaking. P. cubensis is a prolific fruiting species that given a little TLC will produce massive flushes.
3. Nutrients. The amount of bioavailable nutrients in your substrate will not only determine the yield but also the potency. Make sure you have lots of nutes for powerful and plentiful flushes.
4. Presence or absence of overlay. If you do not case evenly, you will get overlay. This will decrease your yield.
5. Temperatures. Generally speaking, P. cubensis likes to fruit in 70-75 F. Plus or minus a few degrees is absolutely fine, but both extremes AND constant fluctuations in temperature will affect your yield.
I may have left some factors out but to answer your question, the number of cc's you inject per jar has nothing to do with your yield. It may have small effects on how fast your jars colonize, but even this would be practically impossible to measure. Most spore syringes are not evenly distributed even after a good shaking...so 1 ml of spore solution may contain 100,000 spores, and another ml of spore solution from the same syringe may contain 10,000 spores....hope this helps.

yeah colonization time only. however colonization time is also tempt dependent so keeps your jars at around the otpimal temp. i keep mine around 78.
