I'm High And I Panicked...
    #10596670 - 06/30/09 08:33 AM (15 years, 6 months ago)

This was my first time trying to make spore prints.

I wanted to test 2 different TEKs just for experimentation sake, Because if there is one thing I've learned in Mycology is that there are MANY means to the same end.

Any way, I used MilkMans spore tek. Which gave me this:

And I also used This nice pictorial by Shirley Knott. Which gave me this:

I sterilized my work area and went to work. These were my first prints so I was worried to the fact that it even worked. But after I removed the glass and the cap I saw those spores, all my worries had vanished and was replaced with appreciation of the beauty of nature/science (I Think prints look like art).I knew that the former of the two teks called to just quickly slip it in a ziplock, which I did. But then I panicked and couldn't remember how it's suppose to be folded, etc. I didn't want to leave the one on the foil exposed to the elements and i had another unopened ziplock so I slid the foil in there just as i had the other one.

Am I fucked with the foil print or is it fine in the ziplock?

Also I've read from RR and other growers that a print can make 5 to 10+ 10cc spore syringes and syringes with too many spores can actually be harmful to the long term success of your grow. Because they aggressively over-colonize and use up alot of energy which results in poorer flushes. (again, I could be wrong. I'm still trying to learn) Using MilkMans method of injecting 10cc's of water into the bag after the spores have been knocked off the card (or possibly alminum foil in this case) then sucking them back up into your syringe and capping.

Would one way of getting around this is to use a bigger syringe? possibly a 30cc or 40cc syringe? Because I only use spores to make LC and you only need 1cc-2cc per Karo tub. So would that be enough to dilute the syringe and not have it negatively effect my future grows?

And and all input is apperciated :thumbup:

Thanks guys, you haven't failed me yet :mushroom2:

Foil in ziplock, unfolded. :thumbup:
Older teks describe some other methods, but that's the "state of the art" as I see it.

OK to start off, putting your print into a ziplock is fine, no need to fold it up. If you fold the foil you would not need the ziplock but then making the syringe would not be as easy.

Injecting into the bag is perfict, I use this method and it works great as long as the print is clean.

Now, IMHO I dont think you left the cap on printing surface long enough. Those both look real light and I would not try to make more than 3 or 4 syringes from  one of those prints.

I leave my caps down for 12 to 24 hours to get a good print. A good dark print looks like this

you did everything fine.
just use a small area of spore print per syringe.

Doc, I print on card stock then put them in ziplocks and label them. I have tried using foil but it gave me so much trouble trying to cut it and package it that I went back to card stock. When you make prints by the hundreds foil becomes a mess to work with.
