23W CFL is perfect but I'm pretty sure most growers go 12/12

Ok. I've read a few different opinions, but 12/12 does keep coming up. I'm sure I've got a half dozen mechanical timers already pre-set to 12/12 so I'll go with that

Thanks!

I’m sure the 23w will be fine. I’ve always used floro shop lights, but they don’t really need that much. The light is mostly for directional growth.

That's precisely what I've read consistently as well. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me a really reliable place to get the syringes ? I know there are many types. Are any of them easier to grow, or produce better quality than others ? This would be my first time attempting this. I know sometimes it takes a 1/4 and others 2 caps and your ________________________________. lol

Oh, and whats the easiest way to start, a syringe, petri plate or foil print ?

Try premium spores.com. They are more reliable than others I've tried. their website explains difficulty level. Shop here and forget the watered down clowns. good luck

Using @canndo easy way, 12 jars, all have white mycelium with much of the corn covered. Shook jars again at day 12 from inoculation. Probably open and close again for oxygen in a few days. Have not seen contamination yet.

A hole in the lid with filter tape or a filter patch will save you the risk of opening it while it's still colonizing

Spore syrenges will be good for months to years depending on the conditions they were stored in. I keep mine in the fridge.

Was also wondering if there is an ideal temperature to preserve the spores in the fridge?

I haven't taken it that far man, idk what an exact ideal temp would be. I call the fridge good enough lol

Thanks man I’ll take your word for it. I’ve been putting seeds in my fridge for years now and they pop like they were freshly bought.So I’m going to guess the temperature in there is ideal
