3rd grow attempt

My first grow attempt I tried to do pf-teks but failed with contaminated jars due to not having a PC My second attempt was on agar and my spore syringe did nothing (it was almost a year old) This weekend I'm going to go to some headshops and find a syringe of p.cubensis spores. I plan on doing pf teks again and just want to know of anytips you can give me. I'm following the tek pretty much exactly and have lysol/rubbing alcohal for sterilization of the area/syringe before innoculating. What should I do with the cakes when they are done colonizing? I plan on putting them in a rubbermaid bin with a layer of perlite for humidity. Should I mix h202 with the perlite?

you should mix h2o with the h202 then add to the perlite, but that aside

Follow the Tek to the tiniest detail if you want good results, any shortcuts will more than likely end up to be the cause of failure for the new grower. Also due to your lack of success i suggest you do a lot of reading up before you attempt it. start here...

don't get the syringe from a head shop, send a money order out to a vendor on shroomery. the head shop wont keep everything steril like a vendor would. in other words they dont have 'love' for mushrooms like vendors do.

Yeah, I went through the rounds trying to avoid paying/waiting for spores in the mail, but ralphstersspores.com always comes through. Just be careful and go slow. The best advice is to always solve the next problem first. In other words, don't worry about perlite until you have jars on their way. Incidentally, try my oven sterilization idea, it just might help you out.
