Second times a charm!

I started a grow of Cambodian Cubes about 4 weeks ago that failed miserably to contamination. Failing so bad the first time really makes you respect the sterilization aspect of the process. Today a friend and I started our second attempt. My outlook is positive this time as we didn't cut any corners and I can't think of any weakness in our defense against contaminants. Wish me luck! Hopefully I'll have some Cambodians and Golden Teachers for Shroomsday!

My first two attmepts failed due to bad inoculate , if all your jars fail its a possibility, one way you can confirm this is to not inoculate a jar and see if it contaminates with your inoculated jar.

My first attempt I used a syringe from a company out of Vancouver but this time I am trying a syringe from that company plus two from another source. We did 28 jars total and they are different styles of 1/2 pint jars to easily tell them apart.

Update
7 jars are contaminated 11 have no growth 10 are looking good
The 7 contaminated jars have been removed from the incubator. These jars are from one of the two syringes I received from a company I wasn't sure about because of other reviews on here but decided to try anyway because of the cheap prices. The 10 jars that are showing good mycelium growth are from a separate syringe also purchased from this company. Both were golden teacher cubes.
The 11 with no growth came from the Vancouver company and are Cambodian Cubes. This is a reputable company but the syringe was almost a year old.
I'm glad we used different sources. I am confident in our procedure. we heated the needles between jars so I'm sure the contams are from a bad syringe. This is a learning experience and I can't wait to be able to grab some of my own spore prints so I don't have to take chances with syringes made poorly.

Use a sponsor and this will be a non-issue.

Please don't recommend that sponsors' products be used for illegal activities, and remove their name from that post. They sell them for microscopy use only. If you choose to use them illegally, that's all on you.
