doesn't he run the risk of making a contaminated syringe if he's not careful!

also, after you harvest, how do you grow another batch without buying more spores, or is it a self-reproducing process?

You have 500 posts and are asking these questions? Not trying to be a dick, but i'm just curious. What exactly do you talk about on this forum?

well obviously he would have to look up a few good syringe teks if tht was the route he was taking that and use a glove box. But you should get 2-3 flushes off a monotub grow. Possibly start another as you round the second or third flush= ongoing amount of fun times.

That's understandable not growing anything, but not knowing key info at that post count is just strange.

I know it seems odd being on a mushroom growing forum and not growing. but I used to visit the site for years reading the trip reports and didn't even know of the rich community in all the forums :smile:

if you're curious you can check all the OP's messages via their profile :whoah:

I'd recommend getting spore prints from that FSRE website. Only costs 1 euro plus postage to get a requested spore strain from the list. They have information for how to make your own spore prints (http://fsre.nl/?page_id=17) and how to order spore prints from them.

To get your hands on syringes would be essential. Syringes..combined with the skills to make spore prints and turn them into liquid culture (lc tek) or to put them straight into sterilised syringes.. would set you up for quite a while.

http://www.shroomery.org/8399/TheMilkMans-Sporeprint-and-Syringe-Tek

If you search on shroomery then you'll find places you can buy the more medical-related equipment you need like syringes and alcohol wipes etc.

The Pub. :wink:
No but really, many members, myself included, rarely post anywhere but the pub.
Something I'm trying to change.

I'm sorry if I am hijacking your thread op, but I have some "noob questions" I would like to ask as well, and I feel like it would be better to post here then making a whole new thread. But if I am intruding, just say so! :grin:

This might be a really silly question, but when buying spores from website what exactly do you get?
Do you get syringed spores all ready to go?
Do you have to put them in there.
I understand and have read many teks, but as of yet I have seen nothing covering this. (I'm guessing because it's super obvious and I'm just a dumb bitch.)
What exactly spore wise would be needed for let's say, 8 1/2 pint jars, and how would this be done?

Also, what exactly is trichoderma and how do I avoid it?

If someone that knows a lot about the whole procedure could PM me what would be awesome because I'm sure I will have more questions and it would be awesome having someone to go to with them.

Yes, the syringes are ready to go.  Most people recommend you shake them up before inoculating a jar so make sure the spores are dispersed well in the water solution. The syringes generally come in a 10cc size and most places will recommend you used at least 1 or 2ccs for each jar.  I only use about one-quarter CC per jar and they inoculate fine, though I guess that depends on the quality of the syringe and how much spores are in each one.
Trichoderma is a nasty, nasty contaminate.  It has a tendency to expel a lot of it's own spores and can easily contaminate an entire crop or grow room. Most the experts will recommend throwing away a jar without ever opening it if you see these little green meanies start to grow.

Ok thank you very very much, that cleared thing up quite a bit.
My only question is say I would get a 10cc size syringe and I want to put it into 5 1/2 pint jars.
How exactly would I divide it all?
Just use a fifth in each jar, sterilizing the tip with fire in between?
Also, one last thing.
SORRY! :blush:
And the syringes with spores in them don't need to be kept at any tempature or anything correct?

Again, thanks a ton!

It'll depend where you get your spores from. Some places like fsre.nl will just send you the spore print in foil for one euro.

other places may just swap them. To buy a 10cc syringe of spore solution, it arrives ready to go (after a shake) but it just means you have to pay that much more for it! So if you have a 10cc syringe and 5 and a half jars, 1cc per jar is typical so you can save the rest. Be super sterile and hopefully you'll never meet trichoderma! It's a fungi thats in most soils and associated with plants.

Watch the videos and steps..

I think its supposed to be best for syringes with spore solution to be kept in the fridge.

Well, like I said, I only use about a half a CC per jar. I save whatever I have left over for the next batch of jars I make. If you want to use the entire syringe, then yes, divide it equally between the jars. The syringes can be stored for quite a while.  I do not think there is a set shelf life, but most experts will tell you about a year. If you keep your home temp. in the low 70s, you should be able to store them at room temperature.  Otherwise, put it in your fridge.
Most teks will tell you to flame sterilize the needle, but I generally just use a rubbing alcohol cotton swab to clean the needle then a quick flame to help dry the alcohol off. I do not think you need to heat the needle until it is glowing red. I figure if alcohol is good enough for doctors to use before injecting people, it should be fine for some spores.

The human body has a better immune system than a jar of substrate. It doesn't hurt to heat the needle just to be thorough .

I've always been more into the "getting high as shit" part of this forum, I'm more experienced in doing psychedelics than I am at growing them.
