the syringe i ordered came with no needle point

What is the best way to still get a yield? I tried to do a PF tek with no verm barrier with two jars just to see what would happen, and they colonized pretty quickly but cot contaminated.

Was it from a vendor? If so, I'm sure if you contact them and explain your situation they'd send a replacement. If it wasn't a vendor, then sorry. You got screwed

Put a drop on agar or buy a needle.

It was from a vendor, my friend did the ordering so he has all the details. He gave me one unopened when I left to go off on my new job on the other side of the country. I really don't feel like dealing with a vendor.

You make it sound like dealing with a vendor is a bad thing.
Contact the vendor, buy a needle, or start doing agar work

1) you can get needles at the drug store if you ask.
2) some of the vendors send the needle in the same package but not on the syringe it might be in the box/envelope etc
3) if you do agar, it wont really matter.

if it is a luer lock syringe you can get needles for them at pharmacies and some feed stores in rural areas. also you can order them online. Or as stated above, try and do an agar plate and make 50 jars from that. If sterility and more advanced processes like that seem daunting, absolute worst case....open the jar in a SAB and squirt the solution down the side. If you are doing PF style jars, the verm layer would interfere with this.

Good luck to you.

internet or possibly a feed store. Ask for bovine syringes sometimes some feed stores will carry them. Don't quote me on this though!

@ RXB if you are just looking to puncture a SHIP or RTV silicone. Get the blnt tip syringes and just throw a quick 45 degree point on it with a grinding disc or sanding belt. It literally takes 3 seconds. works quite well. i had a very hard time finding pointed syringes of the length you desire.

If you dont use a verm barrier then you need a GE filter
Still get a yeild doing what? If you dont have a PC you are probably going to need a needle.
Although, if you leave out the verm layer and use a grain jar filter, you could open the jar in a still air box and squirt some spores in and close back up

ya what Bod said.
or if your dick doesn't do the trick
pic a tek...like http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10628004
You can use SFD's instead of tyvek. Also the ones Bod pictured are great if no needle is found. saves time/materials. just one hole.
