OK I thought id get some peoples opinions so here it gos I got a syringe from the hawks eye and when i looked at the syringe it had all this snot shit inside of it so I thought to my self maybe the spores germinated so to make a long story short I knocked up some jars now is been two weeks and there's nothing not even nasty crap in the jars. so has anybody had something similar happen to them? any help would be greatly appreciated thanx

if it had snot shit in it... contact ryche and get a replacement from him... the snot shit is most likely bacteria.
so yeah, contact the hawks eye and get a new one for free.

Hawk has been having this happen a lot. I've seen 4+ people post this same problem in the last month or two.
Hawk's got problems! Sending out bunk syringes. Better watch out until he gets his problems under control.

my syringe i got from him last week looked good. Nothing but little dark spores floating in it. We'll see how it works out any day now.

If you could get a pic of this "snot" shit inside it that would be good, though considering you've already used the syringe I guess thats not possible. I also had a syringe once with something in it....turned out to be spores which had germinated, like you said. Nothing happening for 2 weeks doesn't necessarily imply a bad syringe though, as that happened to me on my first try as well, with a syringe I later found out was good.
Did your look anything like this? (Look between the 6 and 7ml graduations)

If so, it could very well have been mycelium in the syringe...

If your syringe looked like that one, it was fine. That is live mycelium growing in the water. If it didn't take off, look at how you prepared your jars to find the answer. RR

Might seem like a lot to you , but if Hawks made 3oo syringes in the last couple months , not really that bad .
And that's if it's not some part the fault of who recieved the syringe and their inoculating techniques .
Contact Hawk and he'll send you a replacement 
Things happen sometimes , this isn't any reason to not buy from Ryche . He's one of the longest standing and most reputable vendors on here . 
I just got 8 from him with no problems .

I'm not trying to place any blame, but some people might be concerned with keeping their spore microscopy hobby fully legal. If he's having problems with either contams or spore germination then that could be a serious concern for some people. I'm sure he'll also want to clear up the problem.
I've always heard good things about THE, and he is one of the oldest and most respected vendors.

Hawks eye pwns. haven't gotten a bad syringe ever. If your syringe is bad then you fucked up and the syringe is good. And he will replace it anyway. for 3 bucks so yea hawks eye rules.

I just thought I'd let you guys know that I bought my spore syringes from THE, and they were REALLY weak. In fact, only one jar took at all four colonization points. Most of them only took in two, and two of the jars only took at one inoculation site.
And yes, I shook the syringe in between each inoculation.
I've heard so much good anecdote about ralphster that I'm definitely buying from him next time.
As far as THE goes: Longevity on behalf of THE company does not imply that THE is a good vendor. That logical fallacy is called an "irrelevant appeal," for anyone interested in informal logic. Not trying to be mean; logic is just one of my hobbies. I commit logical fallacies all the time... Sometimes on purpose.
Also, I have yet to hear any bad stuff happening with ralph's spores. It might be out there, but I haven't heard it.
That logical fallacy is called "appeal to ignorance." And yes, it was every bit as fun to commit as you would expect.
Seriously though, Hippiechick is the first person I've heard who really likes THE. I'm not saying that there aren't others out there completely satisfied with THE's product, but mine were so weak I could've eaten some rice cakes and pissed a better spore syringe.
Also, assuming that what was true for one spore syringe is true for all is the "fallacy of composition," in my situation I'm assuming that the next syringe I buy from THE will be as weak as the last one that I got. However fallacious it may be, though, I'm not about to risk getting the same product.

Jumping on the bandwagon after weighing the anecdotal evidence?
It's amazing how people get mad when you out logic them sometimes. Reminds me of hawksapprentice. He's some jerkwad that gave me a shit rating because he didn't like some facts I cited him from the CDC. So I tried to drop down to his level and quote "Dr. Bob" and he went nuts. He got mad saying my Dr. Bob quote was worthless AFTER he rejected the CDC's view.

Anyway 5 shrooms for you for your logical prowess.

Here's some logic for ya . I hear Ralph is a great guy and I like him although never purchasing anything from him . The only thing I ever did recieve from him was a free African Syringe . Never grew a thing . Tried inoculating 3 different LC's with it before tossing it in the trash . Know the LC's were good because I reinoculated them with other syringes and they took off .
Mistakes happen . Wouldn't keep me from buying anything from Ralph though . I'm sure Ralph would have sent another , but since it was a freebie anyhow , I never bothered him about it . 
And you're a fool if you think I'm the only one who likes the Hawks Eye . Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony Hippie Chick

Ive purchased allot of spores in my day. Ive gotten a bad syringe from pretty much every shroomery sponsor.
Most of the time they are good though.
