Ordering tips needed -- mediocre experience
    #5971999 - 08/17/06 02:40 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I was hoping to get some tips about when/from whom to order syringes. I placed an order about a month ago with Hawk's Eye, and was a little disappointed by the shipping time (8 business days,) germination rate, and syringe appearance.

With 2ml inoculated, I generally had 1-3 colonies start per jar (I'm a total newbie, but I really tried to follow the PFtek to the letter.) Some jars had no colonies. Also, the syringes contained a pea-sized, loose ball of black fluff in with the water, not the specks of spores I was expecting.

I'm wondering if the summer temperatures were a problem during shipment (~95F.) Also, is the syringe appearance normal, or should I maybe be ordering from someplace else? Or am I likely doing something wrong?

Thanks muchly!

There is NOTHING wrong with THE's spores IME. Some vendors ultrasonicate their spores which disperses them evenly through the spore solution, most don't. Either way, if you see ANY spores in the solution with the naked eye, than there are THOUSANDS you don't see. Spores are microscopic.

I've purchased spores from THE, Ralph, Lil Shop and Sporeworks. ALL have been great vendors with quality spores. If the spores are bunk, I'm sure Ryche will take care of it for you.


You're complaining about 8 business days? :rolleyes: Where on his site does he state that you will get your spores next day? Try ordering from Earth's Tongue or Spores.ca and see how fast you get your spores :lol:

Yup, if you think you are having problems, contact your vendor (since they are shroomery sponsors, you'll be good to go :smile:)

Since you are having colonization I would have a hard time believing that there is something wrong w/ your syringe, but that is just my opinion.

If you wrote what kind of spores you got, I may have missed it.  But consider ordering spores that are popular so that there is a high rotation.  If you order spores that are less popular, I would think the syringes could be sitting around for a bit.  <== Purely speculation...
