GT syringes

Hey guys/girls,
Today I got some syringes that are crystal clear. Just wondering if these might be bad syringes or if they are good. This is the first time I have ever gotten clear syringes without being able to see anything.
Sorry if this has been asked before. I dont see anything, not one black speck.
Thanks for any input!

Only way to tell is to try 'em out. Even if they are clear, you could still have thousands of spores in there.

where did you get them from.. there could be some in there, and you just cannot see them... they are microscopically small.. if you can see them, it just means there are a whole bunch of spores stuck together..
try it. and if it doesnt work, ask the joint you got it from to send you another.. they are usually alright with doing that.. just dont rip any vendors off.. lol.. you wont know if it is good until you try..

Make a paste of brown rice flour and water.(like 1 tablespoon worth) make it a little runny and put it in a jar. (nail hole in lid, taped over) PC for 15 min at 15 psi, let it cool to room temp. Lift the tape so you can see the hole. Shoot three drops into it.
If you get no growth in like 3 days there is probably something wrong.

lol! this question really is asked every other day I'm on here, clear is fine, if you let them sit and don't touch them for about a week, you will see clumps and clumps of spores. if you bought them from a sponsor you have practically nothing to worry about.
this is from a clear spore syringe 8 days after inoculation

i know the quality of that pic is pretty crappy, but just an example.

I had a clear syringe and a few weeks later i noticed tons of visible spores in the syringe. Just shake it before inoculating.

 visible growth in a BRF jar in 3 days would be super spores. I'm talking on BRF paste like an agar. 3 days isn't unreasonable. shooting the 3 drops into liquid culture would be quicker now that I think about it. And yes I do use microscopes.

or you can got this route if you like http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6886717#6886717 not hard and creates many many syringes. the plus side is if you got a contam it will be seen quick but if you got from a vendor then you have no worries. if you do this i prefer to take my syringe apart boil for 45 min put it together and pc for 30 min at 15psi works great
the best part is you take a full syringe shake and put 1 or 2 cc in the jar incubate for a few days and you get to keep ur full syringe, and fill up and another syringe
and dont forget to work clean and sterile as possible
