broken syringe
    #10114425 - 04/06/09 01:47 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

HI all, just received a syringe in the post from a trusted vendor.

Unfortunately when I opened this the needle was snapped off the body of the syringe. It.'s in what looks like a cleanish zip lock bag,so whats my best plan to rescue this. Luckily, nearly all the liquid is still in the syringe.

Heres amy plan, Im thinking new empty syringe and shot glass wrapped in foil and PC's for 20 minutes, and basically knock up a new syringe out of the broken one.(in stelile glove box of course.)

YOu think this will work?

Dude. Same thing happened to me but I was trying to sterilize the whole needle and the plastic caught on fire.

Take one of those half pint jars. PC water in it. Add some a tablespoon of Karo. Inject it with that. Now you got some Liquid Culture. 10x more potent than that multispore.

To clarify, using an LC will NOT make your potency rise, It will just speed up colonization time.

secondly, the LC will still be multispore of sorts, as no sectoring or any other agar work will of been carried out, therefore there will be several substrains in one jar of LC

Did you snap the needle off or did it arrive like that? If it arrived in that state, snap a pic of it and send it to the vendor by PM or email politely asking for a replacement.

Yeah Kahuna, it was http://www.magicmushrooms.org/ I emailed them this morning got a response in about 30 minutes, and they will replace it no problems. Great service all credit to them. The broken one has been re-homed to, hopefully will be sterile, time will tell.

Tell them to send it back in a unmarked envelope. I wouldnt want anything being shipped w/ a "mushroom research"  tramp stamp.

That's one lousy bit of advice.

For one thing, you should add the honey/karo/whatever-source-of-sugar BEFORE pressure cooking, otherwise your LC will NOT be sterile.

For another thing, you should NOT inject an entire syringe of spore solution into an LC. You only need a tiny drop of spore solution to inoculate an LC, and too many spores is bad.

And another, LC:s are tricky. There's no way to tell if the mycelium in an LC is mold or mushroom mycelium, so you will have to try it on 1 jar first.

Its not more potent just overall colonization speed is faster due to the mycellium already being present after inoculation
