Okay so I didn't really get much of a reply to my needle/syringe question, I can't find any needles longer than 13mm, what would be the best way to deal with that? I have a feeling that if I just poked the needle down the side of the jar as far as I can (Which would make it to the very bottom of the verm layer) that the spores should just run down the glass into the BRF. But I also have a feeling that I'm a noob. WHAT DO?

You ordered a spore syringe right?  Not a print?

In my experience, syringes always come with a needle that is plenty long enough for cakes.

Ah sorry I just reread the first post.  Have you tried going to the local chemist and asking if they sell them?  That's how heroin addicts get them.  :shrug:

Yeah I did but the longest they had was 1/2" "frown"

But I did find an online store that sells syringes though but it's hard to find any that are much more than 1" would that be long enough? I saw another thread saying their 1" syringe was too short.

Syringe needles (18gauge)
Location: vet, medial supply store, family doctor, online stores. UNLIKELY to find one at a pharmacy
Cost: 20-50 cents each.
I tried many pharmacies but none stocked needles, or if they did it was only 25gauge or higher. I called a vet and they had 18gauge that they were willing to sell me. Be creative with why you need them (craft, experiment, etc). Looking for a wide gauge like 16 or 18 helps, as drug users would not want such a thick needle, yet we need thick needles to stop spores clogging.
ruckusman: www.livingstone.com.au - they're lab and health care suppliers. They've got stainless steel 14 gauge needles for LC in 50mm and 100mm lengths plus 60ml syringes. plus petris, scalpels, blades, micropore tape etc etc etc

Was just about to post that I found some at on online farm supply store but I just saw your post and realised that I have a vet like a 5 minute skate from my house, I'll give them a call and see how it goes. Does 'measuring exact amounts of honey for a biology experiment' sound like a legit enough excuse to buy a long-ass 16G or 18G syringe? Or should I put my thought into it?

Lol you're on your own for that part but it never hurts to bring a 'prop' to make the act look real.  In the case you described I would bring a notebook with tables and measurements and a small vial of honey or something I dunno.  Yeah definitely get creative.  That could be over kill but my parents were Shakespearean actors so I tend to get into it.

Yeah, I'll probably swing past the store on my way there and buy some honey and maybe some sterile gloves or something to be super legit haha and it'd probably be a good idea to put some normal  clothes on and tuck my dreads away, stereotypes and all :rolleyes:

Small vial of honey sounds good then you can pull it out and say you need a needle that is long enough to go to the bottom of it

I think nobody gives a shit why you need a syringe for it could be a lot of thing.
Modeling, glueing, injecting fluids, measuring etc. get creative. If you have dreads you are fucked anyway :laugh: nobody is going to beleive the biological experiment bullshit :laugh:

Okay, I know it's been ages but I've done heaps of stuff since I last posted: made spore syringe, made cakes, inoculated and they've been colonising for the last 5 days and I saw the first signs of growth yesterday! Will post lots of pics tonight.

Okay so here is a photo (I've got plenty more if you're really that interested but I'm tired as all fuck right now and feeling lazy) of the jar with the most progress on day 5 EDIT: Day 4



All jars show some progress and I haven't identified any contaminants yet and everything seems to be going smoothly :thumbup: I'll post new pics occasionally when I see something worth posting.

Okay, I know I'm being really inconsistent with my posting but here's an update anyway, all cakes have reached 100% colonisation and my first 6 cakes were birthed about 10 minutes ago and are dunking right now and I'll chuck them in the sgfc tomorrow after work. Here's a few pics of the cakes and whatnot.

One of the cakes has an orangey bit on it so I thought it'll either be an anti-bacterial secretion (indicating bacteria) or bacterial growth (also indicating bacteria) so I though I'd best dunk it separately just to be safe, it smelt fine but it didn't wash off. I didn't scrub I just ran it under water and rubbed with my finger but worst comes to worst if it freaks out I can just case it outside and start a mini outdoor grow with it.

I'll update with more pics after I get them all into the FC tomorrow after work.

Bacteria is gonna build up during your dunk anyway, just rinse well after you dunk

Okay I'll give a good rinse after, do you think it would be fine to have in the same fc as the other cakes or should I just spawn straight outside?

Okay sweet. I may look into it and try to start an outdoor patch anyway just for the experience. Plus from what I've seen outdoor shrooms look way cooler (short, meaty and funky) than indoor :smile:
