Making a Syringe from Spore Swap (Q-tip)? 1

Hi everyone,
I want to start my first attempt at cultivating Golden Teachers at home with the PF TEK but I can only get my hands on a sterilized Q-tip swiped across a spore print, so that the tip becomes dark from spores. In the Tutorials I read they always started with the syringes or at least normal spore prints. Can I create a syringe from the Q-tip the same way as I would from a spore print? And is this method too prone to failure for a beginner? Are there other methods?
Thanks for your advice!

Dont make a syringe with a swab, cut a very small piece off the tip of the swab and streak it on agar. I doubt there are enough spores to make much of a syringe.

And what do I do with the agar then? Is that still the PF TEK?

From agar you can do several things. For making syringes, you could do LC.

You can also use a paperclip or something to scrape the spores up and make a MS syringe. Why just a qtip?

I think all these extra steps with LC are too much for the first time. I don't want to get it contaminated. Do you think it would work to scrape the spores up and make a syringe?
The Q-tip is the only thing available on Dream Market at the moment :/

Yea I always do agar for my brf jars, once you have a good culture cut it up and drop it in, agar is the best way to start a grow anyway. Look up pastey plates, those are a simple no pour method to get culture plates. If you don't know much about culturing spores it's a little overwhelming at first but its really easy. There are quite a few teks here going over how to do agar. Good luck.
