How long will spores last for?
    #10366315 - 05/19/09 08:10 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Hello,

I'm new here and to growing in general, I've read the Tek religiiously for a few weeks to try and taking in as much of the mountain of informtion that was contained within it.

I went and bought a syringe of golden teacher, however its just sat in a air tight box for a few weeks as I've not had the money to buy the rest of the supplies I need. I was wondering how long these spore will last for?

Thanks very much.

I'd hazard a guess at about 2 months max when I got them, as I've said they've been in a box out of direct sunlight pretty much since then. The heating is at a pretty constant temp, its normally pretty hot in my flat, only a change of a few degrees at most, I take it none of this will make a diffence?

Store your syringes in the refrigerator.

They will last a few years if store properly in a cold, dark, sterile environment.  Even longer if you hydrate them before use E.g. make a spore syringe and let it sit for a few days before use.

I wasn't sure if that would kill it, I'll be sure to put them in their when I get back, I hope to use them in the next few week.

they're in a syringe with liquid in already, I take it thats a hydrated syringe then? I got them like that a few weeks ago, I only opened the package it came in to check it out, I've not touched the syringe itself or the sealed bag it came in.

I can vouch for my own prints still being viable after 5 months in a gladlock container, within a drawer at room temp.

I would think if you sealed them up, the would last quite a long time, years?

Well, I've never seen spores shipped in a syringe with no water.. but i guess someone might be crazy enough to try.  The syringes will last longer than the prints.  I have used a syringe that was a year old and it was fine.  Storing prints, syringes, liquid cultures and even colonized jars in the refrigerator is fine, just dont freeze them.  Storing the colonized jars will slow down the metabolic rates of the myc to a slow crawl if not halting it almost completely.  When you are ready to use them just pull them out and use them as normal as they will pick up where they left off

Properly stored syringes will last for many years, may even last longer than a print.

a few weeks even in not so great conditions and they will still be ok.

Keep your syringe in the ziplock bag it came in. Best place is a clean fridge if you intend to store for any long period of time.

Most people usually use syringes in a short time. So a cool dry place is fine.

Ive stored syringes in a drawer and used a month later without problems.
