Well since my first grow was a COMPLETE disaster (eVERY jar got contaminated) Im going to start all over with all new jars and a new syringe. Im going to buy pre-sterelized BRF jars, i found 2 shroomery sponsor sites that sell these, mycopath and mushbox. The mycopath jars are $20 cheaper, but mushbox seems more professional. So which one do you think i should get?
Did you get an apartment yet? I'd say that's the important part, a place to work in privacy without hurrying.
Then get the right jars. If you can't find them locally (and you may just not be thinking creatively) then mail-order some. Postage cost is cheaper than starting over, and good glass jars can be reused over and over, it's a one-time expense.
Good tools make all the difference. Not just in this- in everything! Buying pre-made jars is a shortcut. Do it the right way and you won't be disappointed. Get a pressure cooker, too- I found one at Goodwill for $9. And some 1/2 pint jars for 50 cents each.

I dunno. Buy some of each, and do a writeup for us. I'd say you need to invest in a nice sterile workarea, too. Your last batch may have been contaminated by the manufacturer, but it's more likely to be the end user.
