perfectly clear spore syringes?

recieved 2 syringes today, they look perfectly clear, I don't see any sediment or anything. Is this normal? The syringe did come from a shroomery sponsor.

i actually had this same question last week, there fine i noccd up some jars with mine and worked great. then with my left over spore solution i just set somewhere and let it sit for a week i came back to it yesterday to find clumps and clumps of spores, they where probably just shaken up during shipping and haven't settled back down yet.

Don't worry about it. It has been proven that a less dense spore water is preferable than a densely spored water, since there will be less substrains fighting against eachother to colonize...

Although it doesn't say dark syringes won't work, just says clear ones work better for the above reason

True, true, Hawk's are black and dark when they arrive, then when you shake them they are almost clear.
Plus, after you isolate, who cares how many have germinated?
Use just .5 cc of a good syringe in a pint grain jar, then use that pint to G2G quarts, grow out the fruits and clone what you like.
Put the other 11.5 cc in the fridge.
You can parlay 1/2 of a cc into 20 quarts of sub-strains of which to choose great fruits to clone. No agar needed.
All you ever need is maybe one syringe a year for nice clean and fresh lines, having cloned from proven fruits.

you mean an online community's purpose is NOT to ridicule newbs and tell everyone to search instead of posting, and treat anyone that has a question like a dumbass???

stop whining. make your own syringes in a glovebox next time. buy a print and blank syringes, its way cooler makin your own syringes.

Yeah, that sounds like Roger, telling someone that too many spores in a syringe is a bad thing. They can't germinate until they leave the syringe Roger.
How about using your syringe with too many spores to make 10-20 more?
Or, how about using only a 1/4 cc, instead of 1 cc, when you have a syringe with "too many spores" in it.
Bottom line here is Roger is missing the point completely, you CANNOT have too many spores, you can have too many germinating in a jar, which you are in complete control of, regardless of how many spores are in a syringe, you decide how many enter a jar.

Yeah, that does sound like Roger, everybody sucks but him, and everyone is dumb except him.
