Sporestore any good?
    #7612702 - 11/08/07 08:33 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I hope this isn't off topic but I was wondering if anybody has information on whether or not Sporestore.com actually sells viable spores. I inoculated my substrate about 7 days ago with a B+ strain and have not seen even the beginning of mycelium growth yet. Do you think there is cause for alarm?

Use a Shroomery sponsor off this list. They pay to advertise on here, so they aren't going to do anything funny and rip you off. They're trusted and are really good about making sure you get the best they have. If a syringe is contaminated, they'll usually send you a replacement for free.

On top of that, most of them will give you a discount if you mention that you're from here. Just stick with them, they fork out the money to prove they're legit.

they are at room temperature, probably about 65 deg. too cold? i just moved them into where my furnace is, hoping the pilot light increases the temp to closer to 75.

Just hope they didn't rip you off. I've heard a few reports of people that got had by them. If they grow, good for you, but sticking with sponsors is the best way to go.

These guys came from an Amazon spore syringe I got from the non-sponsor vendor in question. This is my first successful grow. The first one I managed to screw up by knocking up my PF jars while they were still hot. Anyway, it did take a bit a patience, I didn't see anything for about a week or ten days in the jars.

Hey couple questions for you Samph, if you dont mind....

Did these beauties fruit off of BRF cakes? How many CC's of inoculate did you use per cake? I'm really hoping I can get mine to colonize!

BTW - do you recommend the amazons?

You should really read up on this sorta thing before you just jump into it

65 degrees is way to cold
check out some of the guides around the forum

Yep those are four of the six standard PF cakes made of BRF and verm. After they were fully colonized I waited about 6 more days then dunked them in cool water for 23 hours, and then rolled them in vermiculite before putting them in the fruiting chamber.

As to how much I inoculated each jar with... let's see. I started off with eight jars, and I split the 10cc syringe between them pretty evenly. So what's that, 1.25cc per jar? I think it was probably more like 1cc per jar though, and then the one I did last just got the rest.

I can't really recommend Amazon over any other strain because I haven't grown anything else, and I have very limited experience with taking shrooms, not to mention not knowing what strain I was partaking of in the past. I did have a good time last night on 10g of wet. So I guess I'd say yes I'd recommend them but I can't tell you they're better than any other strain.

Good luck, give it a few more days, I bet you'll see something.

it's all about patience.
and hopefully the temps are no longer low

good luck!

first grows are always the hardest, but the most valuable.
you learn a lot from them

How is that tall one growing that high with a straight stock? Looks like you don't even put a lid on it. :confused:

Yeah i will be patient. Ive heard of substantial mycelium growth after just a few days so i wasnt sure whether to worry and at what point i should abort this batch altogether.

one last question: i put my substrate mixture in the jars VERY losely as I had red elswhere not to pack it too tight. Is that still considered good practice?

well i was under the impression that b+ spores in a properly sterilized and knocked cake can colonize under pretty low temps. is this not the case?

-It is excellent practice to loosely fill the jars as to leave good room for the mycelial network to take hold easily.

-Theoretically, they'll still colonize at 65, but it'll just be pretty slow. When strands are considered to be good colonizers in colder temps, they usually mean around 75 as opposed to 82. (I believe Amazonians are some of the best cold colonizers though.)

well i guess its time to sit back and hope for the best. i knocked 5 half pint jars with 12cc's of inoculate without ruining the moisture levels (i assume), so hopefully these guys will colonize fully. ill send word of success should that happen :smile:

does anyone know of a SUPER visual but mellow-minded strain? i've heard mixed reviews of B+ which is what im working with now...

I highly recommend not using Sporestore.com I have made 3 purchases with them. Yes the spores were good.

No the service sucks ass. They charged me for my last order and never shipped it. I tried contacting them and no response.

thats atleast 2 cc's of water, there is a good chance that you might have addid too much moisture cause thats a hell of alot of solution. but i wouldnt worrie about it. just keep em warm. if you got a heating blanket put em in a cardboard box and put the blanket on its LOWEST setting and set it ontop of the box. ide monniter the rellative inside temperature of the box so you dont end up cooking em.

The lid of my FC has a a big hole cut in it covered in plastic wrap to let light in. I noticed it was encroaching, so I put extra plastic wrap there and puffed it up so it would have room to grow higher. I'd take a picture and show you, but I harvested it today. It weighed about 16g.
