At least you're getting your moneys worth.Actually doing this now. I have stuff in multiple stages and afraid im going to end up with a shit ton of shrooms.
1) Take a full grown cap and place it over some type of media for a couple of days. Spores are deposited. Lots of additional reading, but that's it.1)How does making prints work? 2) Is it possible to buy syringes, and make a print off them to basically have an infinite supply of spores that can be recycled? 3) Or is it better off to just buy the syringes and use them up, then continue buying more every time i run out?

2) Spores in needle are used to inoculate something, either jars of grain, bags of grain, brf (for some), etc. But those must be allowed to grow to become mushrooms, which you then get the spore prints from.
3) After a 1st pass of needles, you then can choose to keep the best cap and make spore prints (and live myc as well) forever, and never have to buy needles again.
i had the idea of buying some spore prints or those syringes and just placing it in a plastic container with compost or good soil blend like something u would grow worms in then just see if it works. but im guessin i need to start thsoe off in a sterile environment. if i could get it to work small scale then i would transplant what i got into a bigger container and just keep them going. im assuming they reproduce on their own. i havent looked into it that much but i could get it to work, eventually.
First things first... Go over tofirst off thank you for having a guide that i can actually understand but im new to shrooms in general and only tried them once but im interested in growing and this is gonna sound funny but i've never heard anyone specify what cakes are they just shrooms or what sorry for the stupid question i just need to know thank you in advance.
Try this... Before hand take all your jar lids and drill 3 or 4 holes around the perimeter and use silicone as a self healing inoculation point. You can stick your syringe in and pull it out and it closes up on its own. The jar is therefore never exposed to outside air.After filling the jars with syringe solution instruction says to tape the holes. But another guide says to leave the lids a bit loose to let the air in.. So which one is correct? Would it be ok to tape the holes and tighten lids up and let no air get in at all?
Thanks for reply.No, Kaypay.
Your jars need FAE, fresh air exchange.
They probably used micropore tape which allows for FAE.
I suggest leaving your lids on all the way and just leaving the holes open.
