the sponsor difference...
    #14054296 - 03/02/11 12:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

i got my sponsor syringes today and wow is all i have to say. I first ordered from a non-sponsor and got a clear solution, i looked at it under a microscope and saw a few spores so i thought whatever and knocked up my jars. about a week later almost half of my jars just started showing growth. and today my sponsor syringes came THEY'RE FUCKING PURPLE GLOBS IN IT!!!! anyway i was so excited that i just knocked up one of my dead jars as an experiment. will be stopping at the store to get more jars tonight hopefully.

Spores are microscopic so just because you don't see them it doesn't follow that they are not there :wink: Besides clear solutions are usually better than dark or purple solutions.

hehe i know that i looked at my solution under the microscope. would you care to explain why a clear solution would be better? i feel like more spores = more chance for germination.

also yea sporeworks :laugh:

:lol: I am sorry. I didn't notice that you mentioned a microscope. My bad. Anyway light syringes are usually superior because 1)there is less chance of contamination 2) and less genetics.
This is one case where less is more. Less genetics means that it will be easier for the mycelium to become a single organism.
I am sure your syringe is ok though. Sporeworks is a great vendor.

I always here using less is more but I have to mention one thing that I found out by accident actually.....I was nocking up some jars and the syringe got clogged so I was pressing real hard and shot probably 1 whole cc into 1 inoculation point.....that inoculation point now covers all the way down the side and even some of the bottom!  That happened in like 4-5 days as well.

So it seems to me from this accidental experiment that more spores will germinate much faster allthough its not nessissary at all and I advise against it because its a waste of your syringe and it might just be a week faster or some little difference.

the sponsor difference




Sponsors have passed a background check, a credit check, and have to be known to the community before applying to become a sponsor.  I don't know of any startup vendors who are shroomery sponsors unless it's a long term member in good standing who wants to branch out.

The staff also regularly makes undercover test purchases from vendors to make sure they're up to par. We document communication after the order, timely shipping, quality of packaging, and quality of product.

There are some vendors you'll see online who have proved to be so bad in the past, they'll never be sponsors here, due to that reputation.

i've boughten from Ralph and hawkeye, both where slow to deliver (2 weeks maybe, still much better then most places [6-8 weeks]) but both also send more then what i ordered, so if i ever need to buy from a vendor again, i know who i will be using.

That makes me more confident on buying from any of them rather than googling and hoping to find a good vendor.  :laugh:  Why I didn't find Shroomery earlier is beyond me haha.

as soon as ralphsters recieves payment, your order is ALWAYS shipped the next business day..so if mail gets delayed and its awhile before he recieves payment, then its going to take longer, or if mail is slow after he ships, its out of his control and he cant help that..

have you recieved the email, or checked your status to see if it had been shipped? the status will update soon as it is shipped so you will know when to expect package.

did you send me an order or order number?
I need to know what you want.
A good name and address is good as well.

If you sent me an order, I always ship it out, of course.

A letter with no name on it and just money in it does me no good, or
you for that matter.

Its best if you follow directions on the site.

Thanks

Look, i did everything by the book, and im really not very concerned. I feel confident that it will come eventually. And i did email u with the order number, date purchased, and my full name. I was simply stating that it was taking longer than i expected, and that i was disappointed with the communication.
