Try using the straight PF Tek man. It rocks. That is two cakes 75% colonized then cased. You cant go wrong with the PF Tek. and Shroom Wizards casing method is pretty cool too. I haven't tried the PF Double ended casing tek yet. -JJ

Hey melter8or, in your oringinal post you said your friend had the problem So if it's your friends problem why do "YOU" have to worry about buying a pressure cooker, shouldn't that be your "FRIENDS" problem? Just curious. You're not growing are you? Shame on you if you are. tsk tsk tsk!

I had the same contam problem with my first (ever) batch. I used (and still use) MMGG, however, I learned that if you boil the jars (do not forget a lid) for 2 hours instead of one you will be just fine. I haven't lost a single jar to contams after doing this. Also, every time I inject a bit of spores I wipe the needle with a bit of cotton soaked in rubbing alcohol. However, you should really consider using Uncle lazlo's Mycelium tek (see grow/find). By using mycelium you can soak the whole thing in H2O2 + the mycelium will start growing much faster. Good luck (although you wont need luck if you are careful) Butt, Butt, Butt!!!!!

you cant afford a pressure cooker? wtf they are dirt cheap! you can get a brand name new one for around 20$ which will do 8 1/2 pt jars.. look on ebay.. look at junk stores, you can get one for even less.. can afford, its not an excuse, they are cheap

melter8or:I'm with DinoMyc on this one... you really should make the investment and get a pressure cooker. I got one about a month about on e-bay. $20 plus $3.50 shipping, a brand new Mirro pressure canner that can do eight 1/2 pint jars at time. That'll be the best twenty bucks you ever spend on this hobby... good luck c

I see pressure cookers all the time for about $2 at the Sally Anne. I've even been thinking of stocking up on them but they are so cheap new it wouldn't be worth it!------------------ Visit the Spore Lab at: http://www.sunshine.net/www/1700/sn1730 It's a trip you'll never forget!

A friend of mine recently got a bunch of PF syringes. Only 1 jar colonized fully without stalling. Several never germinated. He used the exact same method as they did with Hawk's Eye syringes, where he had 100% success with full colonization. I've heard a lot of good things about PF though. Maybe this was just a weak batch or whatever. That's just the facts as my friend sees them.

I was EXTREMELY dissapointed in my last syringe from PF. All the friuts except 1 were sterile, no spores I didn't even bother keeping that print figuring the resulting friuts would be just as worthless.Who know, like mentioned earlier, maybe just a bad batch, but maybe not...

I have heard alot of bad press about PF lately.. i wonder if his strain is starting to show extreme signs of mutation.. i wonder if he has a backup culture from back in teh day to rejuvinate his stock anyway

Here ya go Jimmy James... this is only 2 1/2 pint jars of finch seed/verm cut in 1/2.. cased with the 50/50+ mix.. the strain is the cambodian cubensis.Perhaps its time to upgrade that strain your working with. -peace-

Isn't it funny that all our friends are using us, in a very nasty brutal way. I mean if i was to ever cultivate mushrooms(god forbid!), i wouldn't make my close friends, my pals ask dangerously illegal questions for me...such a shame, this is.... L
