Re: Cambodia Syringe RECALL need some feed back also
    #73758 - 02/07/00 11:21 PM (24 years, 9 months ago)

Ever since my first syringe I've been coming back to you Ryche. Its because I know that you are an honest person. I've E-mailed you before telling you how much I appreiciate your help and customer service. I know that you'll make things right with the cambo syringes. I hope you get this strain figured out because it truely is as good as you preach it to be. Not only was it the fastest I've seen yet, it gave one of the best trips for a cubensis that I've experianced yet. It was a very visual, colorful journey through the mind. Also very long lasting effects in my opinion. The trip lasted nearly 8 hours! But it was a very memorable trip, very soothing to the soul. Thanks again Ryche, I can't say it enough :wink: I hope you get this strain back on the availability list soon. This is definitely one to share with many. I

I don't know if this means shit or not, but I've made 4 syringes myself of the cambodian strain. Every jar inoculated showed growth within four days. So far I'm getting the same results as with the syringes you sent. Again I don't know if this means shit or not, just thought it might help?

Ok.. to make a long story short, I think the 1st flush, 1st generation spores, from wild to domesticated, produced some weak spores.

From what I've seen, they're not holding up in syringes well at all. There dying out after a couple weeks to a month in the spore water.

I'm waiting back on an email from a friend who has the 2nd flush prints from these 1st gen prints in spore water now for over a month and asking him to recheck them and see how they are doing.

I have several other patches now of second gen spores, as well as 2nd, 3rd flush from the 1st gen patches.

I started suspecting this a few weeks back when a few ppl were saying they were only getting spotty growth from batch #1, spotty or no growth from batch #2, and now from reports almost no growth from batch #3.

The 3 other batches I made of #4,#5,#6 are showing no growth what so ever after retesting them the 2nd time.

All the glass slide prints I sent out are from the 2nd flush, 1st gen, and I'm hearing from several experienced growers the spores are healthy and viable.

I took some of the 1st flush prints and put them on agar to see if their is much life to them.

I've have several batches made up, of 2nd gen prints from other casings without any preservatives in them, and only distilled water. They've been sitting a couple weeks but I'm going to wait another week before I pull any test syringes.

This is all only my theory for now, I've never seen spores slowly die out like this so fast. The only thing I could really think of is they didn't react well to the natural preservative. Or it might have something to do with them being from a wild species to domesticated, not sure. Still very puzzled on this one.

One thing I did notice different about the mushrooms was the first 2 casings, 1st gen domesticated patches, were a very light colored mushrooms as they were wild in Cambodia. Even some albinos were in there.
Both of the other patches, 2nd gen, which were from the jars of substrate from spores used to test the cams batch #1,#2, and #3, all grew very fast and healthy, and produced some beautiful golden color mushrooms, instead of the light albino color. I doubt this has much relevance, but just a note.

This whole thing has me boggled, because this strain is so fast and vigorous, and potent, and so easy to grow, is a very heavy spore depositor, as if it wants to spread its seed desperatly, why would the first spores dropped from it die out so quickly?

Anyway, I should have my testing done by late
febuary and start shipping them again.

Thanks for all the feedback and support I've been getting.
From what I'm hearing about batch #3 is a few ppl got spotty growth, like there were a few spores still alive and active, but most got nothing. I think the longer these batches sit the more and more spores are dying off.

So fair warning, if you have any of these batches your probably wasting your time using these syringes, and just wait on the new ones.

How depressing, one of the nicest cubensis I've ever seen, and ended up giving me all these problems. Go figure.

Ryche, I can't give you first hand info. yet but I just "coached" a friend through innoculation of six jars of brown rice flour/verm. mix with your #5 camb. batch. (innoc. friday the 4th) I'll keep you posted here or e-mail.

Ryche, I know that you will overcome this slight setback. You are a great Spore provider, and I can't see this one getting you down. On a side note, after talking with a couple of experienced people regarding the mystery of the Cambodians. It may not be related to the strain's recent isolation from the wild, but rather that the strain has a dormancy factor. Some strains, a mexican one specifically, the spores are fertile upto 30 days after printing, and then they go into a dormancy for upto 6 months. Not saying this is what it is...just a thought.

Your the MAN Ryche, and your post is just another of the many reasons why!

I wish I could send you some bottled time, but the quantum physists haven't figured out how yet :smile:

If you need someone to experiment on I would be happy to purchase some test batches of spores and provide feed back.

Greetings & Salutations!
Ryche, my friend, I feel that you need NO words to defend yourself, nor any to justify your character.....you have shown us all your love, patience and consistancy. NO ONE has the right to question you! It bothers me deeply that ANY ONE would question your morals and values based on these, nature's, circumastances. This is why we all stand around you at this moment, as friends and colleagues, who value you.
Also, I have an unused #1 which is at your disposal.

    #73770 - 02/09/00 02:31 PM (24 years, 9 months ago)

Thanks for all the kind commets, support, and positive feedback, here and in all the emails I'm getting. I never new how much I was appreciated until now :smile:
Some really great ppl in the mushroom community who are very understanding that problems like this are going to occur from time to time when working with a live subject from nature and domesticating it.

Well, here is some good news.
From all the feedback I've received and looking at my own experiments, the problem only seems to be from the spores the 1st flush of these 1st generation wild to domesticated patches produced.
I made a batch #7 sometime back with 2nd flush spores, let them sit a couple weeks, pulled a test syringe, and just checked those jars again. Although they took 5 days to start germination, 5 days later they are 60% colonized with very rhizo and healthy growth which is typcial of the cambodians. My incubating temps were only at 75F I noticed, had I bumped them up some more they probably would have started germinating on day 3.
So this is encouraging news. I'll give them another week, and pull another test syringe, which means they would have been sitting for over a month. If they give the same good results, then its definatly a sign that only the 1st flush spores are the ones dying out so quickly. Also hearing back from ppl with the glass prints I sent, which were 2nd flush spores, I'm hearing they are doing great.

A little bad news, #4,#5,#6 batch, only #6 is showing any life at all. So those of you with those syringe batch #'s, dont even waste your time with them, just wait for the new strong batches.

About 1/2 the ppl with batches #2, #3 didnt get any growth at all. A few with minimul growth, started off in patches, then is picking up, but taking 3-4 weeks too fully colonize.. a little slow for the cambodians, probably because most of the spores died.
And then there are some that just had fantastic results and were lucky enough to see the fast speed and quick colonization of the cams. I"m guessing these ppl used the syringes right away. Most of these ppl are from batches #1 and #2.

Some ppl are emailing me asking if there is a contamination problem with the syringes or those that are already harvesting cambodians mushrooms, if there is contamination problem with the mushrooms.

The answer is no. This is not a contamination problem, merely some flushes that produced some spores that die off fast. You will, and should enjoy those mushrooms immensly :smile:


Well.... although the 1st batches from the 1st generation, 1st flush spores may have died off quickly and caused myself, and some of you unecessary work, or disappointment, all other flushes so far are producing some nice heatlhy spores. Those glass prints of the cambodians I sent out are from 2nd flush as well, and ppl such as Shroom-Mage and Nacho, very experienced ppl, said they are working fine for them.

So I should have all this sorted out real soon and you will all get to see why I and some others have been so impressed with the cambodians.

Well, thats about it for now. I'm working my ass off to correct this and get the cams going out again as well as answer some emails in between and I'm continuing to send orders as usual, just no cams for now.

Thanks again for all the kind, and positive emails and posts, you ppl are GREAT !!!

Bravo, Ryche. Once again, you stand above the rest. Some people might say we're kissing your ass, but so what. You frickin deserve it. I've never seen someone run a business so honestly. I'm sorry you had a setback. I hope it's not stressing you out too much. You'll pull through, and your customers will still be here when you do, me included.

Lizard King:
You noticed the long lasting high of the cams as well :smile: I noticed that myself.. the trip lasted much longer then other cubensis I've eaten, and I even ate them in small 2 gram doses. Very nice high.

Link: The mexi cubs are fast and flush nicely. Especially the newest patches. I used spores that Mr. G had sent me along time ago saying they had "full bandwidth" of genes from some of his early work. I did notice they grew much larger then usual, still with that beautiful yellow spotted large cap.
The A strain is very fast as well. The plantaisa's are pretty quick, so are the GC/Alabamas....

I'm going to post a bunch of pictures in the next few days of a lot of new patches of various strains.

Yea man, the trip was from the cambo's was definitely long lasting, and very visual. In my opinion, they are the first strain of cubensis to top Equadors great high. I've always said Eq was my favorite for the high it gives until I tried the cambodia's. Although far as yeilds go, the EQ definitely fruit and yeild much more than the cambodian strain(so far) I've been getting very small sparse fruits from the cambo's. Not quite what I expected. This is probably do to my recent lazzyness in casing. Which leads me to my question for you Ryche.

I noticed in some of your pics, you don't use trays to case in. You simply case directly on perlite. I'm thinking thats what I'll try next. Just wondering how well it works for you.

Far as colonization speed, the cambo's whipped Equadors ass in fastest time. And when breaking apart the cambo cakes to case, it was very very strandy inside. Definitely a stong mycelium network.

BTW: You said the people who had sucsess with the cambodian strain must have used the syringes right away. I used mine december 29, 3 days before new years. So I guess thats why My jars grew so well. And the new jars that I have growing from the syringes I made are showing the same kick ass speedy growth :smile:


The Lizard,

I know its a shitty pic, and I have better ones but my scanner broke. Anyway this some sucsess I had with the EQ strain from you Ryche. This is why I love it soooo much, its a thick and easy fruiter. I want trays of cambos like this! Guess I'll keep tryin' :smile:

Wow.. thats quite a nice flush of ecuadors there LK. I'm sure the cambodians will flush like that as well for you, just get over that laziness you mentioned :wink:

I dont put my casings directly on the perlite, there is a 1/4" layer of casing soil put on the perlite first, then the sliced cakes, then the casing soil. Works well, but I'm also growing these outdoors in a greenhouse. Its so much easier to control and beat any contamination outdoors. Some natural organisms missing indoors that help the mycelium beat off most contamination is my theory.

Lk, yeah, you got the spore syringes #1 shortly after they were made and hadn't started dying off yet. And it sounds like the spores you got from your flushes produced some good heatlhy active spores as well.
I'm pretty sure it was just a fluke thing the first flush of the 1st gen domesticated patches produced these fast dying spores.

I'll post some more pics soon of other 2nd gen patches of the cambodian and some great pics of the mexi' cubs and supposedly az/cub hyrbrid strain that did produce some azure shaped caps.

Much work to do.... just taking a break from the lab.

Well I just preppared my casing bed on the perlite with no tray at all. I layed down approx. 3/4" of moist potting soil, then 1/2" moist verm. On top that I layed down my cakes slices and covered with a 50/50 mix of verm/peat. Maybe this will produce better results than my laziness did :smile:

Yo, Ryche - When I first read this and got your e-mail, I was bummed. I had been looking forward to these Cambodians you spoke of and as soon as I got them in the mail the spores met the jars. That was on Groundhog Day. So on the 8th, six days after inoculation, nothing was happenining and I was dissapointed. However, I peeked at my jars earlier today
the 10th and - lo and behold - germination!!!! I had originally injected 3 jars of quinoa and verm and 2 jars of brown riceflour and verm and 2 jars of wheat flour and verm. The quinoa jars started smelling real nasty so I ditched them, but now I see great germination in the brown rice jars, I see a bit of germination in the wheat jars, but not as much.
I also shot some of those spores into a honey water mix, and that seemed to work really well. I think I'm going to use that for some birdseed cakes.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that Cambodian batch #5 has germinated for me. I hope to fruit in a few weeks, wish me luck!
Also, thanks for your honesty in this post and all your communications. Peace! :biggrin: :biggrin:

Heya Uriah Heep,
wow.. I'm shocked your seeing growth from the #5 batch.

I chucked them and wrote them off after day 8 on the 2nd test of these batches. Thats just not acceptable to me.
I hope you get good growth from them and they colonize fast enough for you. The free replacement option still holds for you though if you would like them. If they do pick up and fully colonize.. then pleeeeasse give me a break :smile:

I did see some growth in batch #6 on my test jars on day 8... but once again that is not acceptable to me and I dont expect my customers to have to wait that long either.

The cambodians normally colonize on day 3-5 at temps of 75F-85F and fully colonize 1/2 pint jars in 7-12 days.. that is there norm....provided the substrate was prepared correctly, and temps kept correctly, and given enough O2. They also fruit shortly after being birthed. An exceptionally fast and potent strain.

This is the Cambodian Cubensis I know and love, and this is the Cambodian Cubensis I want to share with everyone, and this is what you will all see from the forth coming cambodian syringes, nothing less.

The problem has been identified, and it was fluke thing.

maybe a little glimpse of hope.... I innoculated 6 jars from batch 5 about 6 days ago - using rye flour and verm, incubating in my growing chamber with temps around 80-88. there's 2 germination sites now(small) on one of the jars, and I'm giving the rest more time. btw, I have these jars tightly sealed and holes taped, should I keep them like this ( always have until pretty fully colonized to help prevent contams)? I can hook up my air pumps and loosen the lids if this would help colonization - but I'm guessing it wouldn't have that much of an effect unless there's more colonization. any suggestions are welcome.

Perhaps another glimmer. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the friend I coached thru innoculation on fri. Feb. 4th (six jars,cambie#5,BRF/verm.) says he has some small "fuzzy white stuff" at several innoc. spots. As I said, I haven't visually confirmed this as he is two counties away, but it sounds promising. I'll keep ya toasted...er, posted. Really slow, but we'll cross our fingers.

Just wanted to let everyone know that, in my case, Ryche has been generous beyond the call of duty and extremely eager to rectify this situation. I'm sure he's treated every other customer at least as well... I just thought that should be noted.

I hope everyone is as honest with him as he has been with us.

Well Mad Max and Younger now....

Instead of having you disappointed later.. let me drop it on you now.
those little spots... will take a long long time to fully colonize the jars. Like months if they dont get hit by contams.
I can send you new syringes of the true cambodian performance wihtin 2 weeks, you can inoculate.. and i'll bet you'll birth and havest those mushrooms before those jars, that you've had for this week, are even birthed!!! NO shit.. the cams are that fast normally.

You can let them sit if you want.. but I'm just giving your fair warning... dont expect much.

For research purposes....if you dont need the jars or space, let them grow. Let me send you new ones.. and see if I'm right :smile:

I had this same problem recently with some unsealed, poorly prepared spore prints from another company. The spores were sent in an unsealed package, inside and envelope, with a box of compost. I was shocked when I seen it, espcecially after paying top dollar for this compost.
So after a lot of hard work of several times of making syringes, and substrate.. and agar plates.... I didnt get any germination at all. Needless to say I was pretty bummed ... and really disappointed. Then finally, one of the jars showed some little small spots of growth on the second attempt, 10 days later, and 20 days later was barely growing.
After 1 attempt on agar, with many plates, and many parts of the prints taken, nothing, 1st sryinge attempt failed, 2nd attempt produced these small spots.

So I looked at at the few small spots and seen some rhizo growth on 2 of them, and decided the best way to get this Malaysian Cubensis growing was to take these small spots of healthy growth and put them on fresh agar plates. It worked. They rocked the agar plates and now they sit... waiting for me to catch up with this cam syringe problem and give them the TLC with some other agar plates the attention they deserve.

My point being... that was a lot damn work, making the syringes, several batches of substrate.. and even worse.. making the agar plates and doing agar work. Anybody that does agar work a lot knows this is a lot of hard work.... I personally hate it...but it has to be done sometimes.....

Anyway... yes I always have been and always will be one of you.... a consumer as well.....I expect quality back as I put it out. So I feel like shit that these cambodian spores dropped some weak spores that dyed off quick and now some ppl are having problems with them and putting in their hard work only to be disappointed.
I know what it feels like.. been there many of times.... not just with this example above..... but I wont go into the others or who they were.

Its my job to bring you "the rain" ... to make all this easier on you, bring you the spore water .... so you dont have to go through all this trouble with wild strains....or any other strain for that matter, or haveing to make your own syringes.... or haveing to learn about agar and doing all that work.... www.thehawkseye.com makes it easier on you...so you can enjoy these sacred mushrooms as much as I and my friends have.
It is one of my gifts from God to share with you...... :smile:

So anyway....This incredable wild strain just bit me in the ass... and I've learned a big lesson....but the problem has been solved and business as usual soon....

Thanks for all the kind and postive posts and email support... man you ppl are great!!!

-peace-

Ryche, first of all, good work on the ethical resolution of this problem. Secondly, if this helps at all: The problem you're describing fits what happened to me about a year ago with an Ecuador syringe I got from you. There was no growth for almost 4 weeks, then growth began. Perhaps that can help you pin point the problem. Could it be related to the age of the spores?

I innoculated 12 jars on 2/1 using 2 syringes total from batch #5. 1/2 of the jars were BRF/verm, the other half were finch seed. While this was my first time growing I was very careful and used sterile processes (although I didn't use Ramsey seals...just verm). After thinking I had cooked all my spores to death (I accidently incubated at over 100 degrees for over 3 hours on the BRF and for 1 hour on the finch seed), I was sad because I saw no growth after 4 days. Then on the fifth day, a couple of the finch seed jars started to germinate. Now 11 days after initial innoculation, ALL the jars have healthy growth (a couple are almost fully colonized even); and most jars are showing really thick rhizomorphic strands. If all goes well, hopefully within the next few days many of the jars will be fully colonized and begin to pin in the jar. Once this happens I will probably try to case a few of the cakes, and then let at least two of the remaining cakes just sit in my terarium on plastic jar lids. Anyway, I have two syringes of Cambodia strain #5 left, both sitting in my fridge. If these 12 jars work out, I will use the remaining syringes, and keep you updated on what they do. So far, I am very happy with my spores Rych. I definitely plan on ordering from you again (EQs and/or Amazonias, and later on probably the Pan Cyan. once I get a little more confident with my techniques). Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.

Nyar15, well I"m still puzzled. Been getting similiar emails as your post. Some ppl are getting dalayed germination, then bam, they take off. Very stange. Luckily those syringes were clouded with spores, so even though most have died off, there are plenty still active to get the jars going.
The other ppl seeing this have their incubating and higher temps of 85F as well.

-peace-

BTW everyone, I'm buried in emails right now, so it may take me a couple days to get back to you, but I will read and respond to them all.

****update

I now have 4/6 jars showing germination, from the ones that have germinated, not much growth yet, but patience is a virtue. Ryche, I'd have no problem w/ you sending me more spores to make you feel at ease, especially if they would colonize before these jars get done, I'd be all for it. Hopefully though, I will get some nice growth soon, I'll keep you posted.

Ryche, I ordered some spores from you towards the end of december and the Cambodians were among them. They were from batch #3 and I have seen only minimal, and very, very slow growth. Are these among the ones you are recalling? If so what do you want me to do with the ones I have now, send them back to you? Also I can;t get the e-mai on your site to work.

HOwever I do want to thank you for the EQ spores. They are growing fast and strong. Really a wonderful, wonderful product.

Heya Sakdesign...

my email addy is thehawkseye@home.com

i'm buried in emails right now from this and others just sending me general tek questions, so it might be a couple days before I get to yours. Be patient though, I'll get to them all eventually.

After hearing so much concern, and call for feedback from Ryche, I am going to place an order. I am a newbie at this, growing my first flush of PF jems. But after hearing all of this, I just gotta try these little Cambodian beauties!

This problem with the cambodian spores is definitely just a freak occurance. I made a few syringes of my own with some prints I took. I inoculated friday morning at roughly 11:00am. First sign of germination was on saturday a 10:30pm. Just under 36 hours after inoculation!!! By far the fastest germination time I've ever seen.

I'm finally getting a casing that is flushing nicely and is worth taking pics of. I'll try and post a few images in the next week or so when I return my broken scaner for a new one. The high from this strain is incredible. It is definitely my new favorite. I have started all of my freinds with this awesome strain, and so far they all love it as much as I do.

Anyway, don't loose faith in this strain, it is definitely one to add to the collection. Yea its still just another cubie, but its a nice one.


The Lizard,
