Can you put to many spores in rice cake

[steinhk5]

First time doing this used a 10cc syringe for only 4 jars. I assume you cant over do but just thought I would ask.

[Fungus Maximus]

1-2 cc's per jar is fine, you can do more but some people experience spore rot if there is too much moisture in the jar. I would say for 4 jars you should be ok just distribute what you have evenly.

[steinhk5]

yeah didnt mean to I guess I have an iron finger didnt realize how much was putting in.

[AnotherDimension]

Ya, 1-2cc's is best or else t will take forever to colonize if at all. More spores if using a print wouldn't hurt anything it's the moisture that you need to control

[steinhk5]

yeah it is taking forever nothing in over 2 weeks time hopefully not all is lost I did get the stuff from sporestore which I have heard bad things about after the fact.

You may have drown em if your moisture was high to begin with and then did that you may have killed em. Sign in to shroomotopia.com and PM me (same sn) send me your address and I will send you a couple prints for free and then you can go to the tek section and make your own syringes

Im guessing you read my post "No micellium growth in BRF cakes" and yes, I bought from sporestore, and I used about 1-2cc and I got nothing in 3 weeks. there is a good chance we got ripped off by sporestore... or maybe we are just major newbies without green thumbs.
(on second thought... do green thumbs apply to fungus? :D)

question: What strain(s) did you buy? I bought their B+ and Hawaiian strains

[steinhk5]

I bought B+++ and PF only was sent PF is reading dont do business w/sporestore tried contacting a half dozen times w/no response back ever.

Even if they didn't rip you off I am leaning on Newbieitis....I lost $600 worth of stuff before I ever saw a shroom. The little details matter, a lot. You want to cut corners find a tek to do it with but don't modify anything. You would be surprised how easy it is to grow once you realize certain things cannot be changed....Idk if you got ripped off. Use Sporevisions.com and if you get burned I will pay you myself cuz I know them and they will treeat you right! Having your own biz is rough and sometimes more important stuff gets in the way of customer service....so easy on the slander....once a seasoned grower says they got burned I would be ok with it but seriously, that is possibly damaging a legit and honorable biz, it is summer guys....I know it should be better but they have been around a while. Ask at Shroomery. Anyway you are both welcom to drop buy and claim your free prints, just PM me @ Shroomotopia.com with an address.
Dont give up, you can do it...it is very easy once you do it a few times....getting there is the hard part. Preciscion is key!

[steinhk5]

they are definately scam artists google them, I wish I would have done that before then, but all is good now I got stuff from spore101 and already show growth in 4 days.

Glad to hear steinhk5

My sporestore spores just started showing life about a week ago... FINALLY!

I know you are giving them the benefit of the doubt, but this site really must be garbage, there are a lot of people who have complained about them. I gave them a chance myself, and was not happy with the results. Yes, I am a newbie, but I am not an idiot. I took my time, did my research, and from what I noticed, something was not right. My guess is they just don't put enough spores in each syringe. When I looked at them, they seemed like there were only a few tiny particles (though, I am new at this so I don't know exactly what it should look like, i suppose).

try spores 101
