<p>I thought I'd leave some feedback, I was hesitant at first to try this but I'm glad I did. I injected 5cc's of a syringe of some creepers and incubated at 78 degrrees for 7 days, around day 4 I saw some weird stringy stuff forming and it didnt look like the instructions. Then BOOM, quickly in the next few days the stuff grew right in the middle almost suspended in the liquid. I used my phone's flashlight and stuck it underneath and thats when I realized the instruction pictures were taken with a flashlight underneath. Everything could be seen much better. So I would recommend using a flashlight to keep an eye on your progress. </p><p>I used the big syringe to inject 8 spawn bags, about 10 cc's in each bag. They really colonize faster using this stuff. Will be back for more next month!<br></p>
this liquid culture kit is easy to use and it turns one spore syringe into many. give it a try
If you want to multiply the substrate jars/bags you can inoculate then I highly recommend using LCs! Simply inject 4-5 cc of spore syringe or a uncontaminated agar wedge into the liquid culture jar, incubate, stir every so often and you’re good to do after a few days!
What is cool (I will try this soon) is that if you use Midwest's liquid culture kit with the 60cc syringe (find in "supplies."), you do not have to open any jars, essentially ensuring 100% success. Inject 5cc of spore syringe into the liquid culture... let mycelium form for 10-14 days or so... then use the 60cc syringe to suck up "liquid mycelium" and inject into jars of sterile rye grain using the method I mentioned above, flaming the needle between jars. Only 5cc of liquid mycelium per jar of grain will allow you to inoculate 12 jars. Not having to open any jars is the key as most contamination occurs at that point! Thanks again for some awesome products Midwest.
Midwest rocks. Love the support
