I live in a high-plains desert and contams are minimal.  If I were growing in Florida, I might have more issues and may need to adjust my procedure accordingly in order to grow contam free.  All situations are unique and the environment can play a big role when it comes to contams.  Something to consider...

My advise is to read everything this guy does

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18431059

and this guy

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showprofile.php?User=284254

watch these

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21032261

and use this tek to limit your waste if it goes south

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21032606

You can also test syringes by making PF cakes first.

Dunking grains is standard practice by the way

and if you want a bit of old school watch these

I prefer the contempory artists but These guys above are my how to manual...

It you're using spores to grain you shouldn't be doing g2g with those jars ideally.
Spawn jars inoculated with agar are going to be your best bet for G2G jars.

Your problems started well before the substrate

Also you shouldn't be using tons of alcohol and lysol etc.. that just shows lack of understanding sterile technique. Sanitizers wont save you from yourself

The problem is, that you didn't realize that Grain 2 Grain is not a tek with a guarantee of getting clean spawn. G2G is a tek which needs clean spawn.

The only way to get a clean spawn master is agar. All the well known G2G Teks described here (Spitball Jedi's for example) base on a agar inoculation of the master jar (or at least clean LC/LI).

In most G2G Teks the way how they got their Master isn't decribed, therefore you have the impression that the master could have been made with spore syringes.

But if you search for other teks these guys wrote, you will recognize, that most of them work with agar. So you can be sure, their master jar was made with agar wedges.


Especially your reference to RR. I actually haven't seen or read RR saying that his teks base on spore syringes. The only time he uses a spore syringe in his videos is the one about PF Tek.

Learn agar.

Also, what are your grain jar lids like? Something that's easy to overlook, but can seriously fuck a grow up. I'm surprised nobody asked already..

And learn agar.

If you read Frank's Tek closely, he states that dunking your grains is only a good idea if your spawn is CLEAN.  It is clear that yours is not, sorry man.  A grain jar can fully colonize and then be used to spawn bulk substrate and fully colonize that, and still be contaminated with bacteria.  Bacteria usually leads to mold, typically the green variety.  The mold usually shows up anytime between near colonization and pre first flush. 

    Mushboy is right, we need to know your method of inoculation.  Syringes are usually contaminated.  A dirty MS syringe and or improperly prepared grain can lead to a failure, almost every time.

you should transfer way sooner,before so much nasty stuff gets a chance to grow.
streaking the spores on the plate is a good way of stretching them out so its even easier to see where its pure cube (or your species) myc and where the nasty stuff grows.

These were streaked.  I transferred several days ago.  I posted this as an example for the op to illustrate the point that syringes can have bacteria in them.  I feel like I'm repeating myself.
