innoculation question

[Skavenger55]

can you inject to much spore solution into the jars?

You can add too much moisture. That's about it. but you can shoot too many SPORES in it at one time which will just cause more problems later on. 1.5cc's is plenty enough for a half pint pf jar.

You can shoot to many spores into a jar though heres the why?
It doesn't make them germinate one second sooner. It just causes such a mass of mycelium you SEE it sooner. It's a horrible idea by the way because your mycelium spends needless energy combining cells(anastomosis) in order to become a single organism. You're much better off using a minimum of spores. Dark syringes or the over use of spores is also a good way to get contaminants. Remember, more mushroom spores also means more contaminant spores that hitch hike along for the ride. Since it takes longer for all those strains that germinate to combine, it gives the contaminants a better chance of getting the upper hand.
