does amount of cc effect amount of shrooms produced?

Does the amount of cc from a spore syringe effect how many shrooms a brf cake will produce?
For example, if I put more cc of spore syringe in a brf cake, will it produce more shrooms?




[HR][/HR]I got a streak going.

Me and my friends been getting drunk everyday at 11pm for almost 3 years straight.

No. Not even close, in fact if you are lucky you can produce many tons of fruit from just two spores, and a large number of spores may even inhibit your ultimate yield.

You know I have heard that before is there any reasoning behind that...

Competition mostly. Plus you get a concerted flush cycle when you are working with a true monoculture.
Makes sense to me thanks...I am going to be trying Azurescens soon first time trying the wood loving guys...have had plenty from the wonderful Oregon coast but never grown them indoors looking forward to that :)

ive never heard about it slowing down yields.. i use 1cc a jar. why?.. because why would i want to limit myself on jars by shooting a bunch of cc's into one. if you got extra cc's and youre not sure what to do with em.. make a culture. google liquid culture from syringe. and learn. stretch those spores. 1 syringe can last you forever if you know what youre doing.. between grain to grains, LC's and prints youll be set for a long time if you like your strain. also if you havent started i hiiiiiighly suggest going bulk. cakes are a waste of time imo, sure its experience.. but whats the point. bulks a completely different tek and you pull way more.

back to canndo's post. why would more then 1cc inhibit it.. just curious because ive wondered what would happen myself
edit.. was posting this while you answered it 2 posts back lmao

It isn't the amount of spores, it is the fact that you have produced a mixed culture. Now I am not sure exactly what happens to those variety of mycelial groups, I suspect the strongest take precidence but multiculture grows tend to be less defined in their fruiting cycle. I have seen totally different shaped mushrooms grow in procession, sometimes within days of each other, as though the different dychariotic combinations are expressing themselves in slightly different time frames. If I use a monoculture where I know for a fact that I only have a single expression then the fruiting is usually heavier, and more consistant.

there is very little to be learned from PF tek. in most cases it inhibits learning about the true growth cycle of this organism as the tek runs contrary to the nature of the mushroom - in effect, the mushroom grows in spite of the tek, and not because of it.

but many have grown bored with my constant railing against PF tek. I have posted the true history of the tek, I have posted the reasons for it's very existence and I have posted the pitfalls and the mistakes that tek encourages but it is a persistant creature and will continue to seduce the novice.


There is one sad case, documented in this very site of a person who ramped up pf tek to I don't recall, but HUNDREDS of half pints and little white pucks. Now how much did that person really understand about the mushroom itself that they would do such a thing?

PF Tek is bullshit. Hardest possible way of growing mushrooms. I went straight to compost the first time with no issues.

The proper way to innoculate is with liquid culture.
