Yes, i have ordered Z-strain, and PES Hawaiian spores from sporestore. The first time I ordered it took a while to get to me. But i ordered a second time and it came in a week. You can trust that site. And if you stick them up to a light im sure u will see little particles floating around. It could have been shaken up a lot before you saw it.
Peace, Mushroomman3710

When I get spores I deal with Sporeworks. Ordered 3 times and always been treated right. Last time i left a comment saying "3rd order from you guys so hook me up!!". To my surprise they included a free syringe of PF Classic with my order. Can't be treated much better than that

Hi!
I have been searching around, but seem to find different answers on my questions.
This is my first time growing, I'm using PF-tek for dummies, using tin foil only on 1/2 pint driking glasses. My questions are as following:
1. I probably put slightly too many spores in the first jars during my inoculation, causing me to run out for the last couple of jars. To compensate for this I filled about half the required amount into my last three jars. Will they still colonize? But just slower, perhaps?
2. My vermiculite/BRF mix turned out way too liquid (probably my verm is too coarse), so I decided to add more vermiculite, and a slight amount of more BRF. This made the mix slightly lumpy, but drier mix. Will this complicate the colonization process?
3. Should I leave the top layer of tin foil on, even if it hinders air flow?
4. Can I just leave the jars on a shelf in my room to colonize, or do they need more sterile conditions?
Thank you very much for helping me out, and maintaining such a great community as this forum has!

^ can't answer #1+2,
But for 3,4:
#3: I don't leave tape/foil over my holes while it's colonizing. Better airflow if you leave it unobstructed.
#4: Leave the jars somewhere there is a bit of airflow in the room, the top layer of verm should protect from contaminants.

Thank you, Nicker.
Regarding #3: Would it be a good idea also if I use foil only as a lid (ie. three layers of foil, where the inner two have holes in them from the inoculation.)?
EDIT: After some searching around, I figured that the layer of dry verm will suffice, and took of the top lid, exposing the holes from the syringe to provide air-flow.
