1yr old syringe found in box

hey i have a question. i have a syringe from last year, its about a year old now. i used about 3/4 of it a year ago. i put the cap back on, put it back in its package, and also put it in a heavy duty ziplock bag. since then its been in a box (i moved) and its in the basement. so its in a coo dry place. it hasnt seen high temperatures and hasnt been played with. i pretty much just sorta forgot i had it. you guys think my spores are still alive? even if they are old and they do germinate does that effect the grow? potency? if they germinate they are as good a year ago as they are now.. right? regardless of any responses im going to be innoculating a few petri dishes to see if they are still alive. its the penis envy and i love this one. thanks!

It should still be fine. Prints tend to last longer, but my bet is it will be fine.

Knock up some jars with it.
Whats the worst that can happen?
Do 2 or 3 at first. We are talking pennies if it dosen't colonize.
Im sure you can handle that.
Good Luck

only problems with spores going bad that i've heard of is overexposure to heat. and even hot solution being accidentally sucked back into the syringe after needle is heated for sterilization
i'd say you'd be fine. PE is a fun strain, might as well try. GL

im looking around right now trying to decide what type of spores i want to order. i browsing the hawks selections.. errr i want them all.. i know a cube is a cube and the amount you harvest depends on a lot of factors.. bla bla bla.. i just want something good.. but they are all good! anyone got any suggestions? i have always stuck to what worked for me.. PF classic and Penis envy.. i never tried anything else. i see people growing the B+ alot. hmmm just cant make up my mind. i want something different from the ones i have tried. i want something potent with high yields if grown under the proper conditions.. yes, i know all strains can do this. thats why i cant make up my mind. its like a cube is a cube, so they are all the same. so which shall i order? lol.. i only want 1 syringe. someone help me make up my mind! haha

Cambodians or Orissa India would be my choice. I had 10 jars of cambodians fully colonize in 7 days.
Orissa's are said to have MASSIVE fruits.
Just wanted to give my .02 cents before the posts start rolling about "This is not the strain thread"

well. for me, ecuador is always reliable, and when im waiting on new spores or just tryign out a new FC to see how it works, i use ecuador. easy strain. but..... for a fun good strain? mazatepec? and i like Z.. just two suggestions. it;s all preference. i love PE, and i have a friend that hates them. depends what is best for you... but i'd suggest mazatepec and Z, IMO

You must be referring to the hawk eyes syringe deal I got 2 penis envies for free They were out of my z strain tho, sent me northern lights instead - that was sort of bummer. So if your getting z - strain, be sure to put an alternative that you'd be happy with in the shipping comments.
I got 2 northern lights, 2 PE's, 1 illusion weaver, 1 reality bender, 1 orissa india, and 1 stargazer. Can't wait to put those babies under a microscope and start studying!

first, this should really be in the strain thread, second, as long as it's ps.cubensis i'll take it, third, strain makes no difference, fourth, if you used the search engine, you'd see the hundreds upon hundreds of threads related to this very question made over the past year.
but,
whatever.
