there is no need for that, I only had 2 jars contam out of over 4 dozen jars, just flame and let it cool off on an alcohol soaked paper towel.
Odds are you yourself were the biggest cause of contamination, actually 95% of it is you. Where did you get your syringes/Prints? How did you prepare(STEP BY STEP)? Did you incubate? How were you providing gas exchange? If you could answer those it would save you a lot of time and money.i tried growing shrooms a couple months ago and my friend was growing to and he was doing the pf tek and i decided to do that too. so i followed every direction with the jar,pressure cooker and ingredient and i bleached my whole bathroom and everything and they all got contaminated.. is there a good site i can buy jars that are already made and just need to get injected? if so whats the best jar i can get to make the most mushroom? what site and where can i get good shrooms? what would be good shroom to grow my 2nd time?thanks
Don't even mention Mushbox, he rips of noobs for his own fame. Fuck him and never mention his name again.www.mushbox.com

108 jars for like $300....could make 10-20oz if you know what you're doing...
shipping'sa bitch on packed jars...
good luck man...
The fucked up ting is you guys are serious. Hippie3 rips off people to the death and he doesn't prepare his spawn consistently every time, sometimes he soaks his grain, others he just adds water in and PCs it as is so water content will be wrong every other time. I can go through every single item and give you 1-3 different reasons NOT to buy it. If anything like I said, order from shroomery sponsors.Mycrotopia.com is the best site for your grow supplies. They got everything that one needs. Good guy too.
I agree with everything you said however with the alcohol and peroxide(Peroxides only role in mycology is to melt cobweb mold on site which can be prevented with lots and lots of air exchange. You want 70% alcohol as it lasts longer because there's more water, there's more evaporation time, it's preferred not only by mycologist but biologist and scientist as well.it realy isn't all that hard to start from scratch without a kit.
While at the pharmacy get some 3% peroxide (cheap as can be stuff that, like cents), and the highest proof alcohol you can get to disinfect outside of jars and hands etc.
Had to fix your post of errors. Also, consistent potency of psilo rely in genetics, not in overall substrate(it's like the same myth that white rice won't produce active mushrooms because there's no nutrients, not true, they will but performance is poor.). If you want consistent potency learn agar and isolate.I just felt the need to make this a separate post...
I think you had a bad spore print, it is the only way someone taking care like that would have such bad result... jees, I don't even do much effort apart from the still air box and get at least 50% success, usually more.
There is of course little practical things like flame sterilizing the needle between doing each jar...
If you are having a lot of toruble get the transkei from sporeworks....
It is a pretty wild strain usually growing in cow dung... I have seen it stunt and overgrow trich a few times now.... really magic mushies.. and pretty too. (Oh and their effect is certainly not plain cubie like)
Lazy is a word that should not be used in mycology or acted out.I might just be being lazy, but where can you buy the pre-sterilized filled jars? I always had a problem being sterile, I would get that spiderweb mold or other contaminates. No matter what I would try I would always get something contaminating my jars.
dude sorry but you've put down like 4 suppliers that i haveand others have used for years and NEVER had a problem with....
either you have not a fucking clue... orrrrr your a competitor who puts down EVERY PLACE that comes up... and puts them down personally?
so when are you going to get around to what you are selling!?

You can draw air into syringes, just do it while the needle is red hot. The spore solution needs to be shaken and it's hard to do if there is no air bubble.HIppy3 is a dickwad... I will not elaborate though.
Hemlock + rep for pointing out drawing air into syringes = bad.
Why? Because he banned you from his site. LOL.HIppy3 is a dickwad... I will not elaborate though.
