Spore Chicks game of chance

Can you spot the cakes inoculated with the Spore chicks syringe. - -
- - This really sucks, we do 23 cakes, lose 2 to contamination, and 5 for what looks like injecting water. These spore were sent after 2 try's by sporechicks to get some uncontaminated product to us. There is a 6th jar that i need to confer with my partner about before i discuss it, but i believe it will also relate to this subject.

SPORECHICKS I HAVE waited 8 weeks now for syringes from them. I am sure i am not going to be getting them and if for some chance they do send me something...that is what i think they will send. syringes filled with water. On a positvie note...atleast your other jars look great! and we all have learned a valuable lesson. I have good luck with another vender and they rock. good luck with your jars!! peace

So far in my opiniun, Ralphster is the king of sterility. Although it should be mentioned that his shipping, is usually a bit behind schedule : ( . But im begining to think that prior planning on my part,or who ever may read this, will make Ralphster a person i feel safe with. Really sucks to have this many bad cakes in one batch.

Hmm...I just ordered two prints from Ralphster...well, actually one from him and one from the FSR. They arrived in 6 days! and there was a sunday in between those days. Pretty fast if you ask me. Thanks again Ralph! I'll be studying my prints under a microscope soon...teehee:-) UBono2

I believe Ralph does ship either next day or atleast day aftert that, he sends me confirmations of the shipping... but usps is taking longer than usual now, so it took 3.5 - almost 4 weeks to get my syringe. Its not ralphster's fault, and his syringes are packed with spores. roy

I really wasnt trying to start an attack on Ralphster, but you just said it yourself, "3.5 to 4 weeks", to me thats a bit behind. But as i mentioned, what good does it do to get em fast, if there not worth the snot on a rag. Ralph, you da man, Sporecloud has told me that he has never had a contamination problem with you. We went else where, mainly out of curiosity, and the fact that it usually takes a minumum of 2.5 weeks for you to get anything to MD. Our last order went thru "little shop of spores". They were very timely, about 6 days. i will probably start them tonight or tommorow afternoon. USPS was very mean to the shipping box, and broke one of the tubes, and we already have confirmation of a replacment on the way. So far i like Littleshop of spores on there buisness merits. Time will tell on there product. Incidently, do the syringes really have to be shipped with the needles attached? i believe this is what caused us to lose a syringe in shipping.

Ralph is the man as far as I am concerned , he has gone beyond the call of duty on many occasions He does ship the next day due to problems with the mail there have been delays but they are not his fault the longest I ever had to wait was 9 days ,witch is totaly acceptable in my opinion due to the high quality of his product and he does send the syringe with the needle separated from the syringe,Ralph gets 5 stars in my opinion

my first order was with spore chicks and it took 2 months to get the order. I inoculated 10 jars and they are all contaminated except for one. I managed to salvage the strain by injecting a little into a honey jar. I would try and have them replace their contaminated syringe but then I would have to deal with them again. I will just stick to making my own.

Man, why the hell is ANYONE doing business with the chicks these days? Shit do a search here and your likely to find hundreds of extremely negative messages about there service and shitty syringies. My friends started to place an order with them, only to thankfully be "talked out of it" by reading some of the tons of gripes posted here on the shroomery. I dont think that they even visit this site. From all that I have read about them, they seem only interested in the money... not repeat business.

they used to visit the shroomery quite a bit,they responded to negative threads a couple of months ago saying that they were back on track and that no one was ever intentionaly ripped off by them a couple of people got thier orders I got my replacements but as you can see in the pics that wetchaser posted nothing grew there is a small spot of growth on the backside of one of those jars but on the other side there is also contams making jars is a lot of work as a lot of you know and it sucks to be greeted a few days later by contams or worse no growth at all I urge anyone who has a sporechicks syringe to do a few test jars before innoculating a whole batch this is what wetchaser and I did this time around as I didnt belive sporechicks claim of being back on track and as you can see once again the proof is in thos jars as they were innoculated at the same time as the other strains that were from another vendor(Ralph) who by the way will be offering the Sa strain witch was the best strain that spore chicks carried in my opinion I urge people to try to get this strain going and make more available to all

Rycheis a great vendor but his turnaround time leaves a lot to be desired the shipping times are not consistant so its hit or miss I prefer a vendor who advertises fast shipping and then lives up to it

Each to their own I guess... AFOAF ordered some EQ's from them and although the order was way late (shity) His sample has 10% contams with 10 pf jars. For other reasons I can't talk aloud on open net... I still thank the chicks...

My turn around times have completly sped up this past month. For a while I was collecting mail every other day and shipping that same day. I did that for 2 weeks in a row recently and not a single person posted here about how fast they got there order. None the less, I'll keep shipping fast and eventually that "3 week slow" reputation will go away. Although all this emphesis on speedy orders is not a good thing. You cant rush nature. And if there is one thing that is REQUIRED in this hobby is patience. If you ordered from me before and it was slow, try me again its much faster now
