Spongiform said: Without an air supply of some sort the mycelium will grow some, then stall out due to lack of oxygen.
So you've got two options. One is to provide for filtered gas exchange, the other is to inject flame sterilized air.
I do all my lids (grain jars, lc's, etc) the same basic way:
Injection port + tyvek glued down over an air hole.
Little bit extra work, but they're re-usable and no fuss.
You can suck in air through a flame (slowly) into a clean syringe, then inject that into the LC jar and shake/swirl well.
It seemed like I needed to inject 20-30cc of air into a pint sized jar to get any significant growth and it would only last 2-3 days then stop growing again.
I did some comparisons awhile back and came to the conclusion that "sugar in the raw" was the cheapest, easiest sugar that produced good results to use in an LC.
So I'd recommend that over honey, although I'm sure some people would disagree. The sugar in the raw produces little to no discoloration or sediment and the mycelium grows well in it :-D
Plus it's already premeasured for you, 1 packet of sugar per 1 cup of water.
i use spongifoms ports too.
i use a polyfil breather hole on one side and a port on the other with tyvek under the lid.
there is no chance of the polyfil getting wet because the tyvek is there and when you tilt to suck some out you use the port.
basically the same thing he does but with polyfil instead.

i would at least stuff that hole with some polyfil.
you should be able to find tyvek or something suitable.
also,you cant punch 2 holes,one on each side and cover one with rtv sealant or silicone and let it dry....stuff the other with polyfil.
you can then use the rtv or silicone sealed hole as a self healing injection port. you also may want to PM spongiform...he used to have ports to trade.
