Im wanting to do 3-4 at a time , my fruiting chamber isnt that big. Inoculate 3-4 wait a month then use the other one for 3-4 more.

IMO, half pint jars aren't worth the effort.

after you've done the PFTEK with them, invest in quart jars and 50lb bags of rye and millet.

Click to expand...

i thought about doing only 5 jars and half the syringe but thought it would be hard to keep it clean until next five jars.

2 points of advice from exp. shake syringe between jars and flame needle between jars for sterilization.

good luck, i am on my first grow with these. seem easier than pot and faster. atleast i having better results this way.
