Buyer Beware: The Hawks Eye
    #16345636 - 06/07/12 12:43 PM (11 months, 3 days ago)

It can be a daunting task, especially when you're a beginner to mushroom cultivation, to know which websites offering spores for sale are reputable and which one are not. I made the mistake of using The Hawks Eye, in part because I saw that they were a sponsor of this forum. I'm posting verbatim my email to Ryche Hawk at The Hawks Eye regarding an inferior spore syringe I purchased from him along with his response. I work hard for my money, as I'm sure many of you do. It it my hope that by posting this, I can prevent some of you from wasting that hard-earned money at The Hawks Eye.

My original email:

On Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:01:12 -0700 wrote:

And here is Ryche's response:

Hello,
The PE mushrooms drops very few spores, less then 5% of the
mushroom drops spores. Sporeworks and I are the only vendors who
even carry this strain. Sometimes we are able to capture decent
amounts and can put more in the syringes, other times we can not.
The PE is pretty much the only syringe that we will ever send out
light. My current batch of PE's I'm shipping right now is very
spore clouded, so it varies from batch to batch.

Thanks for your feedback,

peace
Ryche Hawk

If you read between the lines here, you can see that Ryche knew the syringe he was sending out was "light" and that he is okay with that. He is okay sending out a product that he knows is sub-par. If this is what he admits to, imagine the things he's doing that he doesn't admit to. I'll leave it up to you to decide if this is the kind of individual you want to do business with.

My hawk eye PE syringe was fine.

Just because it is not super dark, does not mean it is not useable. :heart:

Lol not sticking up for hawk eye but its not what you can see bro that's why they are for microscope use  if you can see anything in the syringe that means there are millions of spores in it .. silly goose

Wrong forum dude...

Move to sponsors.

Also: I could give 2 shits less.
Whats the difference between 1,000 spores to view under a scope and 10,000.
If your intention was to missuse thier product... shame on you anyway.

This actually kind of casts him in a positive light. It sounds like you sent him an uppity email explaining that you couldn't see with your naked eye microscopic things and thus automatically declared it poor quality.

And he was pretty polite with you and even explained why he wouldn't want to waste unnecessary spores just to make a syringe look darker, since he doesn't always get a lot of spores from those fruits.

Something tells me that you are not very experienced. I personally make all of my syringes "light". They always work just fine.
That leads me  to a question. Did your syringe work?

And that email back to you was nicer than I would have been with somebody
telling me to tighten the reins.

When talking trash about a sponsor one should really have a serious problem. Like. My syringes took 4 weeks to receive or, they are all contaminated.

If your syringe does not work I am willing to bet that Hawks Eye would replace it... Not certain about that as I do not work there but it's not a far fetched idea.

Perhaps try to stop trying to read between the lines.

My assessment of the quality of the syringe comes from the dismal results I had using it, not from looking at it.

Fibber. If that were the case, the amount of spores would have had nothing to do with it. If it had enough spores that you could SEE they were only 1/3 as much as another syringe, then it had enough spores.

And a lot of different things could have caused dismal results.

I can't stand whiny, narcissistic little bitches who have failure and then rabidly try to blame somebody else to make themselves feel better, even if it makes no sense.

You might like to know that THE has 0% control of the viability, or amount of spore deposits in their syringes. They use their own well established strains to get spores from, and that's as much control over it you can have. Each mushroom is still different in multispore.

You shouldn't be complaining, op.

With ms syringes, less is more. Your syringe was just fine.

Multiple sets of spores germinate in any one ms inoculation, producing several different "strains" of myc growth. These strains can be incompatible with one another and that affects performance. That's why isolating a single strain on agar increases performance, you don't have all those seperate strains jockying for position like in an ms grow. So, less spore in the syringe isn't a bad thing.

your such an ass hat man. Theres nothing wrong with the hawks eye. Like everyone has said already if theres enough in the syringe that you can see then theres more than enough. Also this goes to everyone who doesnt know, your not supposed to connect a vendor to your cultivations. Its not enforced like it should be but its agaisnt the forum rules. And back to the OP its not good to use alot of spore when innoculating.

I don't know if you got the point from the last few posts, but you're a whiny bitch. Who cares if there is less spores in it? It is still is able to grow more mushrooms than you would ever need.

His assessment of the quality of the syringe comes from his shitty cultivation attempt, not by looking at it.

And for the record, this is the end of a very thick syringe for pe's standards.

i have only gotten my syringes from THE and each time i've got nothing but a fantastic product. with my last PE syringe, you couldn't see any spores when it was shaken up and it still managed to inoculate a bunch of my jars and gave me a 54 gram dry yield.


THE is by far the best when it comes to prices and product. the fact that you're blaming them irritates me more than you know.


also, from my experience making syringes from spore prints, many times you wont see any spores (depending on the strain) in the syringe if you do it correctly. just because a syringe is clear doesn't mean its bunk.


and another thing, THE's syringes are far from sub-par. get your head out of your ass.

Some sponsors put charcoal in their syringes for purifying purposes (and maybe for wieners too). So never assume darkness is a function of spore concentration.

Also, what is with the noobs starting with PE. It is more difficult and more slow to grow. I bet the OP injected the jars 3 days ago, and has not seen results yet, and thus assumes that the spores were bad.

I'm pretty sure the only one out there with the patented "new moon" syringes is Earthstounge, and definately not a sponsor.

I have had legitimate concerns with THE and the issue was resolved quickly. Nothing but good vibes.

If you read between the lines here, you can see that Ryche knew the syringe he was sending out was "light" and that he is okay with that.




I would be ok with that too.  PE spores are elusive.  And the syringe doesn't need to be dark to work well.

Yo, I'm not trying to join a beating in progress here, but I gotta say OP, your email to Ryche was aggressive and ill informed. Ryche handled your nonsense beautifully and with professionalism. You brought to his attention what you felt was a light syringe... he thanked you for your advice, ignorant as it was. You offered him no avenue to offer you a replacement, as you did not complain about the quality of the spores, only the number of spores in the syringe ( because you counted them all before complaining, right? ) . :girlofdisapproval:

I've been using The Hawks Eye for years and I have yet to run into one problem with Ted's services.

He's a stand up a guy, and it appears that the OP is obviously a little confused about the product he recieved.

I've never once recieved a contaminated syringe, and every time I order my spores arrive in record time, in perfect condition.

THE is THE MOST reputable company I have ever done buisiness with, bar none. I mean the MOST reputable company of any I have ever purchased anything from. Not only spores.

Great customer service (Unless your retarded.) and fast delivery every time.

Just taking the opportunity to stand up for what i consider a great guy based on past service. I actually got PE for him bout a month ago and not only was it fine he even sent a extra on top of the extras he promised. My PE had as many spore as all the others. Thank you hawk eye for providing quality and reputable service to all. Its not fair to criticize him for a problem that he probably would have fixed if you asked nice even tho their probably wasn't a problem in the first place. Thank you hawk eye for even carrying PE.

i have only gotten my syringes from THE and each time I've got nothing but a fantastic product. with my last PE syringe, you couldn't see any spores when it was shaken up and it still managed to inoculate a bunch of my jars and gave me a 54 gram dry yield.


THE is by far the best when it comes to prices and product. the fact that you're blaming them irritates me more than you know.


also, from my experience making syringes from spore prints, many times you wont see any spores (depending on the strain) in the syringe if you do it correctly. just because a syringe is clear doesn't mean its bunk.


and another thing, THE's syringes are far from sub-par. get your head out of your ass.



You must have moved outside of the US then considering THE sells them for mycoscopy only. Right?

I have worked with PE for yrs! 100% of my spores come from Hawks Eye and never had a problem! Think you HE!
Now i dont always use  spores, but i do from time time buy one, I just got one last week and could see the spores with the naked eye!
Thats not always the case, spores are microscopic and u may not see any. There in there though all the same though.
So u are full of it or just dont know what to do with what u have.
In the past 5 yrs I have only used hawks eye and would never ever consider another vend er, Again thinks Hawks Eye for your service.

This is one vendor I stay away from.  When I first registered here I saw a post he had made where he called all his detractors a bunch of 'losers' ...his words.

If you look at the history of this person here he seems to have a lot of controversy and negative energy surrounding him.  Some times he seems spot on and others he is just mad at the world.

It is hard enough finding a good vendor.  Any vendor that would actually make a post here and call his detractors a bunch of losers is one I would certainly avoid.

Fucking hippy. If you have nothing to say besides your fucking feeeeeeelings
then say nothing at all. You are messing with someones lively hood.
So fucking what if there is controversy. Do their syringes work? - yes. Nuf said.

BTW, I have never ordered from them, you are just a dumb fuck.

he was probablly pissed off because of a bunch of whiny assholes such as
yourself said stupid un-substantiated/baseless comments such as this.

Fucking bad vibes. Jesus fucking christ people.

WOW!  Just WOW!  How can I even respond to that in an adult manner?

"fucking hippy"

"so fucking what"

"You are just a dumb fuck"

"Whiny assholes such as yourself"

As for unsubstantiated well I well just leave this where it is.  Sorry I even replied to a random thread I found searching for God knows what doing research on here.

A response like this shows me this is a vendor to be avoided.  I work hard for my money and will spend it where I get positive responses.  I have seen too many of these type of threads regarding this vendor here so there is something afoot.  What it is I don't know and don't care.

I try to conduct my life in a positive manner and will choose to do business with positive people.  I don't see that as being a 'fucking hippy' I see it as a smart approach to life.

You all can do whatever you want in this thread because I am out.

Quite entertaining. And thanks for all the support here.

MagicHawk67 , had you been more polite with me I would have offered you a discount replacement. I would have considered this under my "accident forgiveness" offer. But instead you tried bullying me and intimidating me with your threats to make this post and tarnish my reputation. Kindness goes a long way with me. 99.9% of my customers are  kind and easy to deal with and I'm easy going and kind back with them. I take care of customers when they don't act like assholes.

It is disappointing when customers immediately think something is wrong with the spores, especially newbs.

Thank you, and yes MagicHawk67 did not give me any avenue to work with other then trying to intimidate me with his threat of posting this.

That was not MY response, that was someone else. It appears your post has the unsubstantiated claims and your just here trying to stir the pot.  There have been like 2 negative posts in the last 3 years that I have seen. And yes I called a couple of my "detractors" losers because they deserved it. One was making up a bunch of account names here trying to ruin my reputation with lies, the mods caught on and banned the guy. Yes he's a loser. The other guy I called a loser was referring to people doing credit card fraud against me. LOSERS!! 
If someone goes on the attack against me in a big way to insult me I'm not going to be a little suck up and kiss there ass to sell a few spores. Would you?
99.9% of my customers are good natured people and pleasing to work with, but about once a year I get a first class dick head who really likes to insult me. My guess is they are just not happy in life or with other people around them and they take it out on me.
Perhaps they think that magic spores are some how going to magically fix there problems.

MagicHawk67, even though you attempted to tarnish my reputation with what was probably your mistake to begin with, I still will forgive and forget and offer you a discounted replacement. Just shoot me an email.

I'm working hard on my new web site now, should be up within a month.
Thanks for your support everyone!

i've found politeness goes a long way in most relationships.
it's like people who go to a restaraunt and bitch and complain over everything and give the employees a hard time. folks like that eat a LOT of spit and boogers.

Same as Ralph, I have ordered from Ryche for many years (he carries a dif strain I like) and never a prob with the guy. I really don't understand the post as I was to think PE always is a low deposit spore. Sub-par vs par is not correct in this, you are always getting genetics.
