20cc = 10-20 jars up front then as said above, all the prints and syringes you could hope for until you want a different strain.

just perform some searches, there are many different theories on whats best. Simmer, soak, simmer/soak...times vary. Personally i have found that it differs from brand to brand as i switched and used the same methods but found different results. See what works for you and stick to it.

You don't want any sunflower seeds in your mix. White millet is the way to go. I have always just soaked mine for 8 - 12 hours, then pc. Colonizes very fast. When cased-- lots and lots of shroomies!

okay so i have decided on the WBS, but what is the most suitable kind of WBS? i think i got something called "safflower" or something. i believe there is a better option for WBS...
and when making the jars with WBS, how much water to WBS ratio is needed? should i use the 1/2 pint or 1 pint jars? and where do you find those jars?

Go to this sight and follow the rye grain tek. I prepare WBS the same way as RR does his rye grain right down to the type of strainers he uses (word to the wise you will want to get the kind with the narrow vertical slits like that). The one thing I do that is not included in his rye grain tek is remove the grains that float in the water while soaking (because they are hollow) and I've heard this step isn't necessary. As for selecting a WBS, all are good, but you will likely want one that has lots of millet because the small grains make it an awesome spawn. I've allow heard SF seeds have low nutes and aren't that good. You don't have to remove them but don't go out and buy a WBS that has a tonne of SF seeds.

okay well i have managed to separate the black sunflower seeds out of my WBS mix for the most part, so i am left with a bunch of small millet and corn pieces, and i believe milo (sp?)...i have soaked this in warm tap water for around 14 hrs. now.
so now it is time to strain the water and WBS to remove any excess water in the pot with WBS. do i need to filter the water out good from the WBS before placing it into 1 pint jars? or is the WBS supposed to be moist?
and how much CCs should i use for my spores if innoculating into a 1 pint jar 3/4 full of WBS (i'm supposed to leave the jar 1/4 empty correct?)???
thanks in advance!!! i'm excited like a kid in the candy store

again, look for a tek and follow it man...searching is ur best friend, but since u insist
after ur soak u want to rinse the wbs to make sure as much junk is rinsed off as u can get (no point in leaving it in there right??) and then strain until dry to the touch. The idea is to leave the moisture INSIDE the grain without leaving any moisture exposed to avoid contamination. U may so choose to simmer after ur soak, in which case you should rinse then simmer, then rinse and strain.
AND, i have always read 1-2CC's per jar.
