EXPENSIVE LESSON

Started this thing by buying over 100.00 worth of MS syringes from a non sponsored site. Did not do my homework, plus I had not found this site. Out of a total of 50 1/2 pint jars, several quart wbs and a few Karo teks only two 1/2 pint jars colonized. Ordered new syringes from sponsored site and received them today. They even look totally different. If these fail I will know its me. I have followed the PF TEK to the tee so hopefully these new spores will work. Arghhhhhhh..

$100 is way to much to be spending on spores to start off haha.. considering if you hang around for a bit you'd find people here are up to trading prints all the time.

I got a free print from Doc34 after being a member for two days, then, used his tek to make the jars. I've never had to buy prints; though I've traded things for them. Marketplace is where it's at.

Yea, I woulda been suckered in. But, the way I got into it was when a friend decided he wanted to go HUNT for mushrooms... We didn't know there were even "growable." (Well, for a NORMAL person, anyway). We went and picked a few, including an aminita (spelling?)...
DEFINITELY knew the risks of the "wrong" mushrooms, so I did some online searching with them in the bag next to me. Found this lovely community, and fell for it immediately. Love at first site.

There should be a sister site of Shroomery that is a library of Genus and strain,spore and culture.There would be no cultivation or cheat sheets.It would not care what you do with your stuff,hey,we are just a library.You put a clean spore or culture in,you can get another back.In a short time,all Shroomerites could have access to the largest library of spore and culture in the world.

I did the same thing, didn't PC my grains good enough... but I saved the syringes and if you look closely you can see the tiniest amount of left over spores. I'm transfering spores to LC.
if you saved the syringes, you may be able to see the tiniest amount of left over spores...try to make LC with em'
good luck

I bought 9 strains from sporestore.
I created LC with all of them... it's starting to snow, if you know what I mean.
I'll update in a few days with pictures to show that sporestore is legit.

No, man. No one's sayin they're not LEGIT, they're saying that their spores are SHIT.
Sometimes, they'll work and you'll get somehing off of 'em.
Then again, you can grow completely healthy mushrooms off a cake that's been contaminated... But it isn't likely.

my first few grows 10 years ago were 14 dozen half pints with 14 hawkseye syringes. i repeated this again after. ive spent hundreds on spores before i learned the easy ways of doing things. now i only buy if there is a strain i really want to try, and dont feel like waiting for a trade.
