freespores.com sold me contaminated spores
    #17036081 - 10/15/12 03:38 PM (11 years, 4 months ago)

First let me say this is a great community. Thanks for all the info.

I ordered two syringes from freespores.com, one golden teacher and one texas strain. I was following the pf tek to the letter, so I prepared a batch of brf substrate for 20 new clean half pint jars. I sterilized all20 in the same pressure cooker. I placed the 20 jars along with the unopened syringes in the same glovebox and spray sterilized everything. I inoculated them all properly using a lighter and in one batch without opening the box, labeled them and placed them in the same 80 degree climate controlled closet. The 10 gt jars went slow but eventually after 6 weeks were fully colonized and healthy.All ten texas jars started fast but the mycelium were quickly overtaken by a mold that started light yellow then turned red. The mold patches originated at the inoculation sites. The only way this could happen to the texas and not the gt is if the contam was in or on the texas syringe.

As for the gts, I birthed them and got 3 flushes which I dried in a desiccant chamber in my fridge. Total dry yield was 42 grams. My girl and I each ate 3 grams yesterday, which according to the dosage calculator here (and my memories, such as they are, from my days following the Dead) should have been plenty. Guess what? Nada. Slight dizzyness and anxiousness. That's it. I got ripped off. Can anyone reccomend a reliable spore provider? Thanks.

I have used freespores before, they are reliable.  As for the potency issue, your temperature range could have effected that if you were colonizing and fruiting in the 80 degree range.  The mold on inoculation sites though, that I would email freespores about and tell them that when you preped your microscope slide, there were many contaminate spores and you could not find the cubensis spores.  Don't mention cultivation and they should send you a replacement.

Thank you for the temp tip, perhaps I screwed up the gts. Freespores has been unresponsive. I posted here because I feel that if a vendor delivers a bad product people should know, and in my case I really don't see how the texas spores could have been my fault. Hopefully they won't do it to someone else.

Next time post this kind of problem in the "Sponsor forum". As for your potency issues, was that 3 grams wet or dry?

"upon viewing the samples under the microscope, the solution was contaminated with an unknown mold spore"

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
If you're going to misuse legal spores for growing, don't say it here.  Mentioning a spore seller in conjunction with growing will get a lock every time.
