Possibly contaminated syringes..would like your thoughts.
    #19372535 - 01/05/14 11:51 AM (10 years, 26 days ago)

I decided I wanted to try this out again. 
I had some syringes from 2009 sitting in the closet.
I also believed they were dead so I ordered some more from a shroomery sponsor. 

Here's the story. 

So I made some pftek cakes as well as some jars of LC.  I inoculated the stuff with the 2009 syringes and while I had them in the incubator, my new syringes arrived.

I made some more pftek jars and LC.  After inoculation I took the 2009 stuff and set it aside so the new stuff would have a chance.  I didn't believe the 2009 spores were going to go anywhere.  I really expected to see bacterial contams and the mean green. 

Well, low and behold, the 2009 LC took off, and a few of the jars did as well.  The jars are slow, but that should be expected with such old spores. 

The 2013 spores I got, well so far at least 60% have contaminated with greeny, and the LC jars(3) exploded with growth then turned cloudy. 

So none of my 2009 stuff has contaminated, at all.  That includes using a syringe of the 2009 LC I made, to knock up a small pftek test jar.  The LC is all nice and clear, and the jars that have growth show no signs of contamination. 

I'm really good, if I says so myself, of at least spotting contams while very very early. 

Do you guys see a way that none of my 2009 stuff is contaminated, yet my 2013 stuff is doing horrible simply by chance?  The only conclusion I can come to is my new syringes are not trustworthy. 

I ordered some more from another vendor...  who I believe was the maker of the 2009 stuff.  It's been so long I have no idea where I got them.

Spore syringes are made from prints. Prints are almost never clean. You will be hard pressed to find a vendor who's syringe is gonna be 100% everytime and many of them probably never get it right. Use a shroomery sponsor for your best bet :thumbup:

Yes you could absolutely expect random contamination.
Even from the most reputable vendors. Most commonly bacterial.
