Makes no sense sorry. Who wants to buy contaminated syringes and waste money on agar making transfers that wouldn't of needed to be made if spores were clean

Hey if someones ripping people off, fuck their livelihood! I heard lots of bad reviews on this vendor. So if someone is scamming people they don't deserve your business...
Plus there's better vendors out there for spore syringes.

Going out on a limb here, considering u registered today and are promoting spores101 I'm betting this is your first grow, especially since a simple google search returns loads of bad reviews of spores101. Instead of spreading bad information maybe u should listen to those who have been at this longer than u. Until u can do that u won't have much success.

You should grow cubes and choose a sponsor. You should also edit the vendor and non sponsor link out of your post :rules:

Hey, I'm just wondering how many jars I should inoculate. I'm looking to harvest enough for just about 2 to 3 trips, nothing big. I was originally planning on just doing 1 jar but I might do 2 in case one gets contaminated. What do you guys recommend?

Might as well do at least 3-4, cakes like to be stacked in groups as they create their own microclimate. If you have extra it will keep for a long time (years) if correctly dried and stored.

All spores are dirty, just some more than others. Ok not all.. Invitro are clean. But the majority of the sporeprints we get from sponsors were fruited in dirty environments.

I realize this, but u were advocating for spores 101 saying who cares if there spores are dirty and this was my response. I know at least 1 transfer is needed from the germinating plate or its a gamble but what I was saying is u will be wasting money on MORE agar than is needed if u order dirty syringes from spores101

Actually the recommendation is 2-3 transfers from the germinating plate. Even from reputable sponsors.

Ok, maybe I should of said more than 1, but I still stand by what I said about ordering from spores101 is retarded when u could order from a sponsor, use less agar and make less transfers cleaning it up. Sorry but it makes no sense ordering from a vendor who I am almost certain will give me a fucked up syringe when I could get a cleaner one from a sponsor

Also, is it alright if I keep my fruiting chamber in a dark place? I understand that colonizing jars should be allowed indirect lighting, but I'm wondering if it applies when fruiting as well.

no. sure, they'll grow, but light is beneficial to healthy fruitbody formation, this includes "quality"

as in, "Wow! These are some quality shwooms!"

I would think giving direct light on the fruits will damage them pretty fast, probably giving them indirect light for about 12 hours would work good, but someone should confirm that.

I might just use a flashlight pointed away from the FC but allow the light to bounce back as it's going to be in a small, confined dark place. How would that work out?

ah yes, just like in the wild... :smirk:

edit:

I can't link to it, so... use the search funtion for "lighting" and posted by "RogerRabbit", he is/was/has been our in-home guidance councilor for many a years...

edit:

also, "I would think giving direct light on the fruits will damage them pretty fast"

why you think that? of course you don't want some jank ass lightbull all up in your fruiting chamber, but 6500k compact flouresents at a resonable distance is standard

You are wasting practically the same agar. You can get away cleaning a wild print with only 2-3 transfers from the spore plate. And with a relatively clean print you'll also need to make 2-3 transfers from the spore plate to discard hidden contams. So either way 2-3 are needed in most of the cases.

But yes, Spore101 is trash.

Edit: just so all the noobs know, spores101 is the worst spore vendor on the Internet. They have one variety  they label with the name of the variety u ordered, also more people have been here complaining about being beat by them than I can count
