Which 2 should I do first?

Hi all! been growing marijuana for a little while now, figured i'd jump into the world of mushrooms!

I plan on making a shotgun terrarium, and using 1/2 pint jars using a 2:1:1 verm, water, BRF mix

Since i got a 12-pack of jars, i figured i'd go ahead and make up all 12 jars. yesterday, i made my mix, got everything jarred up and sterilized (NO pressure cooker, had to boil, i did it like the guy shows you on the let's grow mushroom videos, so hopefully they're sterilized properly! i boiled for 2 hours instead of the recommended 90 minutes).

So here i am today! sometime later this evening i will be injecting my jars!
I ordered a 4-pack from sporeworks, i picked:
Mazatapec
Chitwan
Treasure Coast
PES Amazonian
each syringe has 10ccs, and i'm seeing the usual amount per jar is 1cc, 1/4cc at each injection site, does anyone see a problem with me using a full 10cc syringe split up between 6 jars, so, what is that, roughly 1 1/2cc per jar...what problems could arise from doing that? or is that actually gonna help fully incubate my jar faster?
i'd like to grow 2 different variety of mushroom, can anyone recommend 2 of my picks for me to start off with? this will be my first mushroom grow, but i've read up quite a bit on the subject, so i believe i have a grasp on what i'm doing, just no experience with any individual strain, or nothin' like that...

this seems like it's gonna be fun!

Dont use more than 1cc per jar, it wont help you colonize any faster and is only a waste, it may even actually throw off the moisture content of your jars, normally i only use half cc for a pint jar.. your using half pint jars, so i'd honestly suggest using less than 1cc.... but deffinatly dont need to use more than 1cc... you can save the rest of the syringe for a later grow, i have half used syringes around 3 years old.

Man oh man Id start with the easiest Psilocybin mushrooms I couldnt get them to take off so i threw the terrarium waste in my garden lucky for me mother nature did what i couldnt Those spore will keep a longtime in the refrigerator I got more then a few from sporeworks myself

oh dam you can have too many spores for any of them to come up dont overdose the jar

But, using too much spore solution can be detrimental -as is upsets the water ratio balance within the jars. Too much water isnot good, and can actually
The problem occurs because you have many spores germinating at once, without being to technical, too many germinated spores cause many substrains to germinate/grow. With many substrains growing they will compete for dominance over the cake, this can hurt your yields. You want genetically compatible substrains that way they all work together and not waste energy fighting over the substrate, this is one reason we isolate, not only does isolation allow us to select desired attributes but its also eliminates substrains that compete with each other.

Basically less is better but slower. If you make you own spore syringe and its dark with spores you should use much less inoculant to keep the genetic diversity down. If you spore syringe is clear or tinged purple dont go inoculating 4ccs per 1/2 pint because thats the same thing as I just mentioned.

hinder growth by making the rice flour too"pasty" to be colonized effectively. Also, using more spore suspensionmeans it is less cost effective in the long run - 1/4ml per hole means 10 jars, while 1 ml per hole means 2.5 jars.Economically speaking, and especially if you buy spore syringes and notmake them, it becomes less and less cost -effective for using moresolution (to eventually achieve the same result).

I liked both of thoses answers I got a monster book on grow srooms & it says no way over dose the jar

Somebody needs to create a pro on
