Title: How many jars can you innoculate with one syringe?

How many jars can you innoculate with one syringe? I am a first timer and want to make sure I don't spread it too thin.

If i may add a question, as im a 1st timer also.  How much of the spores do u put into each (1/2 pint) jar?  if the syringe is 10ml (i think standard), is it ok to put 1.2 in each jar, which would be 0.3 in each hole (4 holes)?   

might answer ure question of making bout 8-9 jars..???

Depends on the size of the jars scam.
1cc per quart.

You put around .3 - .7 cc per 1/2 pint jar.
I could be wrong cause I don't do 1/2 pint jars.
One syringe will do 8-9 jars

Up to a point, I think it's better to go on the + side.  It also depends on the concentration of the serum.  I have found that psy. syringes have much less concintration of spores than say Shiitake or Oyster syringes.  1.5 is probably the high end for pint jars but O.K.
