Title: ok i have 7 different strains.......
Post by: Cameltom on April 28, 2009, 09:28:47 AM
my GT and B+ are fruting right now
and i have jars of AM OI TEX BPK and a syringe or KSSS
i have never done a spore print (and all the teks i can find arnt a Fool proof i just dont want to wast my time)       but i want to keep going with b+ and GT
at a later date should i clone and make one jar or each  or should i just let them go and pay 30-50 buck and get more syringes later

i think the clean ziplock spore print is the easiest thing i read.  just cut the cap and immediately put it in small clean ziplock.  let it drop spores right onto the bag for 3 days and then remove it and seal bag.  when you want to use it just inject clean sterile water into ziplock, shake, and then stick the needle of the syringe right into water/spore solution u just made and suck it up
(through the side of the bag to avoid contam).  you could do that immediately and save the syringe or save the bag and hydrate it when your ready.  simple really.

That is a great solution. Have you actually tried this?

No I have not had a chance but will be trying soon coyote.  will let u know results.  Just have done way to much research lol and this was what I decided was the best way to take care of spore prints.  I will prob make syringes myself so that when I need them they are ready.  But I will be putting some bags away as I think they will store longer that way.  either way yur good for a year and Im 99.99 % sure this will work perfectly.

I have read on that way of collecting spore print too.  I would just be cautious when putting your syringe into the bag, so as not to poke a hole in the bag.

I've done it that way and it really only works WELL if your going to use the print within a couple of days.  Don't leave the cap in the bag for 3 days, 12-24 hours.  Your supposed to poke a hole in the side of the bag when you want to inject your solution.

thanks for weighing in pw.  so the spores dont keep will in the bag, but what about making multiples and loading them in syringes for storage.  that was my plan.  sound viable?
