I'll take this one for ya choempi.
A flush is a myco term meaning "bloom". I know it confused me coming from cannabis where to flush means leeching the soil prior to harvest. It's nothing like that at all.
For example, my cakes have just started their third flush meaning they had 2 "blooms" of mushrooms already. I soaked in water for a day and now I'm eagerly awaiting them to flush (produce another round of mushrooms) again.
If you are first starting out almost everyone will recommend pf tek. You can search for it in google or check out a few of the threads on here on ppl growing that style. Basically, it's cheap to start, easy (pretty much idiot proof), and provides a good chance to practice sterile technique. If a enormous yield isn't important at first and you actually want to learn about the life cycle then pf tek is the place to begin.

amazing pics
definitely going to do this tek if I ever grow mush. For now: cids
But for real thats a lot of mush rooms.
Imagine if ResearchKitty did this for her bulk grow rather than PFtek?
She said she did PFtek as a trial type thing I think, but damn imagine this. From what I understand bulk monotub like that isn't even that hard

The reason I silicon the jars for this is really because I don't have a spinal needle, like NIN has 
. So, it is nice to be able to inject the needle and be able to hold the jar upside down to get to the myc.
You have to have a spare syringe, for a filtered air injection before you can draw off, due to it being vaccuumed. If you inject a syringe without a filtered port, it will draw the contents before you can react.
Quart jar. Measure out 672 ml/g using a scale
Why 672ml/g? Random number but going for a total of 700 ml/g, 4% karo would be 28 ml/g. Shoot for the 4% so if you go a bit over it is cool, as 5% is legit but no more.
Add the karo, You can't take it back out so do it with a small spoon and let it drizzle into the jar. By the way, you need to use distilled or filtered water.
went over the 28 mark but still good...
I use the lids with the red seal side down for this because I want the vaccum so I know it is water and air tight...
cover with foil, but could do without with this style lid
PC at 15 psi for 25 minutes, no more or the sugar in the karo will chrystalize making a possible contamination harder to spot.
Done and ready to be innoculated...

Dude this is a sweet thread and very informative, but i've never done this before and neither have a lot of other people. Could you define some of these acronyms? Like LC for an example. I believe TEK means technique? I haven't been able to figure out some though. I apologize for my ignorance. Peace

Can you explain needing an extra syringe thing again,filtered injection? I understand that when using a vacuum sealed vessel, you must put in (air) what you take out (liquid). I just ain't getting that part.
Also, does it matter what kind of syringe I buy? There are all kinds from all over the world. I would be looking for potent medicine first, yield second. Much thanks!

well, this is a tek you probably wouldn't do right away, not because it is difficult, because it isn't, but because it is from a mature LC. You don't have to make jars airtight, I do for these so I can tip them upside down and draw myc, with no worries about air contams. Flame and stab is my rule.
Buy a syringe and grow, a cube is a cube but potency is most affected by the sub and method.

so it doesn't matter if I get spores from china or cambodia or thai, ecuador, golden teacher, ect,ect,ect.

To tell you it mattered would be a lie, but you can increase yield and potency by method and substrate. Straight fact most wouldn't tell ya...
