spore options for those in the wrong place? (bay area)

Hi all, I've been lurking for some months now, absorbing all the information I can from this incredibly lively and supportive community. I live in the Bay Area, so unfortunately I can't order spores from anywhere legitimately. I decided that what I'd do is have some spores delivered to a friends place in another state, which he then mailed to me, two syringes (Ecuador and Golden Teachers).
I was so excited when they arrived untouched, and I'll be forever grateful to my friend who agreed to mail them to me. The Ecuador syringe was full of nice black clumps, but the Golden Teacher one seemed completely clear. I assumed that this was because the spores were there but just couldn't be seen by the naked eye.
I've made two grow attempts: first, I did six PF-style jars with the Ecuador that colonized beautifully, but tragically dried up in an over aerated terrarium. My second attempt went better, but getting the lighting right took a bit and stunted my first flush to a sad little 30g wet . I wasn't too worried because I had the second syringe of Golden Teachers ready to go, but I'm sad to say that the syringe seems not to have contained any spores. 12 jars inoculated with it have shown no growth signs whatsoever in over a week, while two others I inoculated with the last of the Ecuador are almost completely colonized (that strain goes fast!).
My last hope for continuing my explorations is to get a print from something that grows from these last two cakes. I've also tried crumbling two of the cakes from the first flush and casing them 60/40, but I have no idea if post-flush cakes can even be cased like this .
Anyway, I guess I have several questions for the great and benevolent minds of the shroomery: - What's the safest way to get a print off of my last two cakes?
- -Cant talk about these last two, sorry.-
A thousand thanks for all the info I've already gotten from this wonderful place, and in advance for any replies. Also, I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong place, I looked around a bit and it seemed like the this was the best fit. Feel free to move it to somewhere more appropriate
P.S. Here's a Pic of my mini-flush from attempt two, since I know pics are always appreciated

thanks, I've been reading all I can about prints, but for some reason I hadn't found that FAQ page. I guess I'm still learning what's kosher around here, I'm sorry for mentioning something I shouldn't... should I go back and edit out info about location? I guess my best bet is to try to get that print...

when I lived in the desert we used cool mist humidifers and ice cubes and would get the foam coolers and set that on top of a nother cooler filled with ice. this could make about a 75F fruiting chamber during the daytime. even with ac are trailer still was about 90F all day long.
by the way you might want to look in to sporelab they are based out of canada they dont care about sending spores to the the banned usa states.

Im sorry sad in norcal, we cant discuss on how to obtain prints in states where they are illegal. You did have one valid question so i can leave the post open, it already sounds like you know how to obtain spores anyways.
