A big thank you to you all!

Hello all you amazing people!

I have been stalking around this forum and various other websites/forums over the last 6 months or so. This forum is by far the best! The information and various discussions are very useful and easily applied. I just wanted to take some time to tell all of you THANK YOU! RR, in particular, your videos are fantastic and I did apply many of your recommended procedures with great success. This hobby is amazing, and if not for the info on this forum I would surely have had a much more difficult time getting started. I avoided creating an account anywhere as to not be another silly noobie asking silly questions. I feel now that I have a decent grasp on the process and would like to join in the fun on here and further my knowledge. Being the cultivation forum, I suppose I should share my experience! .... I took my first shot at it with some GT's in an MS syringe. I had read this was a great strain for beginners. I went against recommendations and skipped BRF cakes and went straight to rye. Mostly because I found that method more versatile and interesting. Long story short, I innoc'd 10 pint jars of rye and lost all to contamination before 80% colonization. I took a second attempt at it. I took more care in preparing my jars(rtv silicon for injection port, and a second hole stuffed tight with polyfill)Previously I just covered them with tyvek, and also made small changes to my innoc procedure. This time I decided I was going to run multiple strains, again from MS syringes. I innoc'd a total of 10 pint Jars of rye. 4- Ko Samui, 3- GT's, 3- B+. I lost all the B+, the myc of these seemed very thin and weak, it colonized very slowly and the most I could get was a thin coating of myc across the rye before it stalled or contaminated. I then Lost 1- KS and 1- GT to contams. I've concluded I had to much moisture in my rye. This left me with 5 total 100% colonized jars, 3-KS and 2-GT's. They have now all been cased and the KS are currently in the fruiting chamber(SGFC). Holding at 95%+ Humidity and dropped the temp from 80F+ to 75F. I will post some fruits as soon as they show their amazing little faces. I have a few things to say about the KS strain. These dudes are BAD ASS, super fast, super strong and super aggressive(in comparison to GT's and B+). Thanks again to all you lovely folks! Here's a couple photos!

If you'd been lurking for 6 months you'd know you lost so many jars to contaminants because you're putting spores to grain :facepalm:

Try agar.  If you get fruits, clone.  You won't need to buy more syringes.  I've got several I had ordered prior to starting agar work.  Now they are just sitting in the fridge.

You should look into agar so you can isolate your strains and make sure there isn't contams my man

I couldn't agree more. There is a lot of stuff I learned along the way. Wading through the BOAT LOAD of info on the web is quite the task. I had recently discovered a mistake with the spores and grain. I thought it would only effect me in a G2G transfer for some reason, this actually clears up quite a few questions I had. I'm glad I put this out there. However, I focus on success and learn from my mistakes. I'm curious tho, why criticize and not offer advice? Having a bad day man?

Thanks to those pointing me in the direction of agar! That will be my next step!

Oh I'm getting fruits! Things are moving along nicely in the FC! I will definitely be cloning. Dang Spores are expensive anyhow.
