so i have got the itch to grow again but i am broke. i have 3 good prints,jars,wheat Berrie grain's,3 syringes,gloves, plastic toot's,alcohol,bleach, soap, but no agar, iv read about the brf agar substitute and there's good reviews on it, my question is making the print into a syringe, ive never had a contam in my grows but this time im nerves to fuck it up because if i lose the prints to contams im fucked for a long while, since cail has restrictions on getting spores mailed to my address. any tips on the spore print> to syringe > brf agar sub?

I would probably do sporeprint to syringe in a SAB
no guarantees that way, might be 80% successrate with syringes
or... get agar agar at health food store then drop spores onto a jar of agar/oatmeal (oatmeal agar) transfer to new jar, then make syringe from the new jar... (99,9% successrate or such)
the only reliable method is agar.... because as we all know there is no clean sporeprint.. if you want to make a dense syringe you might use i.e. a 1/4th of a sporeprint, so lots of possibility for contams... if you make a less dense one there might be less chance of contam, who knows making it without agar is risky IMO, but has worked for me once didnt make it very dense, used only a small amount of the sporeprint
btw, if you decide to use agar you might as well go for a LC (drop agar mycellium into a LC) much faster colonizations, and you can make many syringes easily from one LC jar
or you can use G2G + WBS in the SAB, much easier than messing with syringes if you got a good PC for PCing the WBS at 15psi the benefit is very quick colonization of many jars with G2G, disadvantage is it can be harder to get it right first time, compared to pftek maybe larger yield likely, due to more spawn but you need to pasteurize, so not as easy
