Just had the worst time inoculating
    #22270952 - 09/21/15 06:55 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

i just went to inoculate 2 jars in my bleached down small closet, and as i was squirting spores into the 2nd jar my fucking spore syringe jammed with a spore clump! so i had to open the pot i sterilized my jars in and suck a bit of the water from the pot that had been sterilized into the needle in order to un clog the needle tip.. and then i proceeded to accidentally put to much spore water in the 2nd jar ... This was  really a bad experience at inoculation. the first time was smooth sailing.

Spore clump? Are you using a 100 gauge needle?
You need a 16 gauge.

You sucked up water into your syringe?? Dude Im pretty sure that un sterilized it.


  Unless you are saying you sterilized water and then sucked some sterile water in, inside a still air box using proper sterile tek

But if sounds like you just sucked up water from the pot you steamed your jars in out in the open .... yikes

I took the jars out of the pot, closed it and opened it a second time to suck water into the syringe.. Only opened the pot twice after it was. Sterilized and I opened it only in my small bleached down closet, which is my Sab for now

Meh, hopefully you will be ok but in the future if it clogs try flaming the needle a couple times instead.

Thats how I used to un clog a needle back when I used to shoot dope.

But yea, I dunno hopefully you will be OK I dunno.. once you opened the pot to take your jars out the water ceased to be sterile.

Oh, and build an actual still air box man, you wont be able to keep the air still enough for sterile work most likely in a bleached closet. Itll work good enough for PF TEK but BRF jars can be inoculated in open air for the most part.

I would swap the needle out before ever sucking any liquid back into it. Go ahead and purchase some spare syringe needles for next time.

Usually a good flame will burn up anything inside and a nice push on the plunger will dislodge it. I've had issues with vermiculite in larger LC syringes, but flaming the needle usually fixes this issue. How much force did you use to try to dislodge the needle? Sometimes it can take some force...

Whatever water you sucked into the syringe is probably suspect, even if you opened the lid once.

It was infact not the vermiculite or rice flour, it was a huge clump of spores that wouldn't break, I could literally see the clump of spores clogging up the spot right before the needle tip, nothing else worked other than sucking water up, oh well fuck it.. I have 4 jars that are colonizing with no contams I'll just buy a fucking new syringe  smfh

flame needle and suck sterile hot air in, then you can reshake without worry.

I tossed out the spore water last night, took it apart and soaked it in rubbing alcohol over night... I plan to use it for a spore syringe when my fruits develope in the near future. in the meantime I am going to buy a new one this weekend . Hopefully get a pan cyan syringe :smile:

Try steam sterilization instead, wrap the syringe in aluminum foil and toss it into a preesure cooker or closed-lid pot.

If the clumps don't come apart in the syringe I just leave them there. there's enough spores in the water to inoculate as long as you shook it. They usually colonize much faster at that specific point although it's probably a clusterfuck of genetics. Make sure to take note of the jar with the clump in it cause the black dot usually looks like a possible contam.
