I like using the gel because you are alot less likely to get air-loc...I have used em all with success, I have even taken clones and didnt use anything on them..(took alot longer to root..but it can be done!)
yeah...if you see anything green...its done for! As for shaking..if you say they look moist, it would be a good idea to go ahead and shake. You might want to wait a day for the 1 you think has the green ninja..lol (when I get green jars..I just pitch em..so my next batch dont get...
When the jars get about 30 to 40% colonized...shake the hell out of them! This will spread the myc out, and within 3 to 4 days after shaking...they should be ready!
Yeah....the ones you can freeze sound interesting to me! The syringes are expensive though...its much better to make them yourself if you have the prints! A little later I am going to do a post on how to make a spore syringe...from start to finish...you will have to check it out! Just look for...
sensi seeds..dutch passion..paradise..big budda..Barneys farm..those are a few good ones...I wouldnt get anything from G13 labs, I heard they arent the greatest.
one thing you could do to help is put shredded cocco coir in all holes(holds a ton of water)...and I wouldnt make a sled to drag top-soil, you will just leave a trail for every1 to see.
When I go out in the spring, I camp out and am usually gone for a week. Tent, back-pack..cooler of beer..camel-back..shovel..topsoil..cocco coir..lime to buffer the soil(alot of clay)..I dig 10gal holes for all my plants..and I usually harvest a lb per plant.
