Mate - you have probably just wasted your money
If you have no growing experience then your chances for creating a syringe from a print or cultivating in agar etc are very slim. But hey you may have some lab experience so who knows!
Do as the previous post suggests read the FAQ and then start with the PK tek using a syringe from a good vendor.
Good luck
ps store the print for use when you have more experience or sebd it to me

Creating a syringe from a print is not hard at all, so he hasn't wasted his money. I do suggest he reads through the FAQ and several teks and then following one before he posts more questions though.

Its much better to order professionally prepared syringes in the first place. also making syringes often leds to contamination.

I totally agree Happy, just do a little research on here and you will get the hang of things in no time if you r serious about this hobby... Start out by looking up the PF Tek and using it a couple times for your substrate and such.. Also, they r right about its much easier to buy a syringe from a vendor for your first time or two, but if u can get a STERILE syringe, u can make your own spore syringe from your print.. Listen to everything these guys tell you on here, and don't let some peeps bluntness scare you off, that is just how they r and usually don't really mean any offense to things.. And one last thing, you should always use a syringe if possible, but substrate jars can be innoculated by just dropping some spores from your print directly onto the PRE-sterilized substrate jars.

Syringes are basic to make man Lsauser, you just love misinforming everyone. Just be clean and you`ll be making syringes, no problems.
I would suggest as a newbie that you do a search for a liquid innoculant method such as the honey/karo water tek. This way you just scrape your spores directly into the sterilised honey water. You then use this formula to innoculate your jars.
And lastly, read the faq first before you start spamming the forums with simple questions.

as a virgin grower i tried making a syringe with no probs.... just use common sense... it seems to me that people make it out to be a lot harder than it needs to be.... true ive had some shocking contams... but ive also learnt to do it by the book untill i have a firm grasp on the idea... and you can make several syringes out of a print... so if at first you dont suceed then try, try again....substrate materials are cheap... . good luck....

Aren't there 3 prompts that refer you to the FAQ before you make your first couple of posts??
