In the year 2015, can you make spore syringes from tap water
    #21260762 - 02/11/15 08:25 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

I USTFE, and see that in the past the community has been divided on this issue. I am wondering if there is now, in the current year, a consensus on whether or not it is okay to use tap water for spore syringe. I ask because I have a precious print of pan cyan spores I am trying to hydrate in a spore syringe, but have had poor luck in germination. I am using tap water and am wondering if that is my issue. peace, pot, microdot!

As long as you sterilize it it's fine

I have never had any problems. Used to pressure cook my syringes. But most of the water would boil off if not fully submerged. Now I just boil water  in a pot and suck it into the syringe a few times. Wait for it to cool.

Make an lc jar with just water, no filter in the lid but just a self healing injection port. Pc it for 45 min, let it cool,now you have sterile water to make many syringes. I never reuse syringes, they are one of the leading causes of contams, I just buy a box of 100 pre sterilized syringes and needles and toss em after each use

I say forget the syringe unless you dont have a PC.

Use a loop and swipe on an agar plate!


I use tap water though. And a drop of "sex lube" like RR says




Im a heroin addict of a decade... the syringes Ive re used... ew. Think junkies would get more infections haha

Yea I know, but I have a farm supply not to far from my place that sells them very cheap already sterilized by the 100 even 1000 if I want. So it's just faster and safer that way ime

I have a nice PC, make the syringe is the only way I  know how to hydrate spores. What is this sex lube method?

they hydrated just fine on an agar plate! if they're really old you can heat the loop
and burn a divot into the center of the plate and put the spores in there for that extra bit of moisture.

sex lube is for making the spores not stick to the syringe.

its city water so is for sure chlorinated, but I am boiling for a solid 10 min before making the syringe so I think it will just gas off

its ok to use tap
its ok to use chlorinated
if storing for long periods use distilled
always boil water for 10mins before you fill syringe
fill syringe, then discard water, repeat twice
fill again, let cool, ready for use

i think that is the proper way, anyone need to edit, feel free

dont squirt it back into the boiling water.
and 2 mins is overkill I never bother with anything more than 30sec pr round tops!
