Magic Mushroom Spores

Buy Magic Mushroom Spores Syringes

Growing your own magic mushrooms is a deeply rewarding process. It is also a very involved process with numerous steps, each of which must be done carefully and with precision. The very first of these is the inoculation of the substrate, followed by germination of your mushroom spores. For first-time growers, the careful, hands-on methods required can be equal parts daunting and exciting. But, we’re here to help; let’s explore how to make your very first magic mushroom spore syringe.

WHAT IS A SPORE SYRINGE?

A spore syringe is an essential part of growing your own magic mushrooms—it is used to inoculate your chosen substrate. The minuscule spores floating about in the spore solution hold the genetic code to the (hopefully) ounces and ounces of magic mushrooms you can expect to grow. Mixing your spores into sterile water inside a syringe is one of the most effective, and easiest, germination techniques when growing mushrooms.

WHY USE A SPORE SYRINGE?

Using a spore syringe is about the easiest way to maintain cleanliness in your mushroom grow, especially if used alongside a flow hood. There are other methods of inoculation, such as liquid cultures, which will be covered later. Generally, though, a spore syringe allows spores to be added directly to the substrate without a huge risk of contamination (when done properly). https://westwayusa.com/

If you’re a first-time grower, it’s hard to beat this method. Simple and reliable, it’s an easy process for the novice. Indeed, many seasoned cultivators continue to opt for this method.

HOW TO USE A SPORE SYRINGE

Using a spore syringe is fairly simple, so long as you exercise restraint. There are literally millions of spores in each syringe, so you shouldn’t need more than 3 milliliters per square liter of the substrate. That’s about a drop or two.https://kushbuyshop.com/

If you’re inoculating a substrate in a jar, it’s most likely the jar will have holes punched through the lid, sealed with tape or a plug of some sort. Whatever the case, the process is the same. Pierce the microporous tape that should be covering these holes (or remove the plug) and squirt a little of the spore solution onto the substrate. How much depends on the size of the jars.https://kushbuyshop.com/

Once this is complete, place new microporous tape over the pierced strips and place the jars in a suitable warm and dark location. Hopefully, within a week you should begin to see mycelium colonizing the places where you dropped the spore solution. It should look like little patches of cotton wool.

Over the following weeks, these patches should grow to envelop the entire jar. Do not do anything with it until it is fully colonized! Likewise, keep an eye on what else is growing in there to see if it's been contaminated.

HOW TO STORE A SPORE SYRINGE

Stored properly, spore syringes can last up to 12 months by some accounts. Remember that the spores are living things, therefore inadequate storage will kill them.

DO SPORE SYRINGES NEED TO BE REFRIGERATED?

Yes. Spore syringes should always be refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C. They should also be stored in darkness, although this likely shouldn’t be a problem as they will be kept in a fridge.https://kushbuyshop.com/

CAN SPORE SYRINGES BE FROZEN

No. Spores are cells that contain water. Therefore, freezing will destroy them.

DO SPORE SYRINGES GO BAD?

Yes. If stored poorly, they can die. Likewise, they will naturally die in time too, although they are surprisingly resilient little things when stored well.https://kushbuyshop.com/

CAN YOU REUSE A SPORE SYRINGE?

Absolutely. So long as you sterilize the syringe properly, and it is not damaged, there is no reason one cannot be used many times. To sterilize a syringe, either fill it with sterilized boiling water or cook it in a pressure cooker. To sterilize the needle, use a flame.

SPORE SYRINGES VERSUS LIQUID CULTURES

Liquid cultures are another popular way of inoculating substrates with mushroom spores. Essentially, the germination happens within a liquid substrate, and you’ll find the mycelium ethereally suspended. Liquid cultures happen in a nutrient-rich “broth” (sterile water enriched with sugars).https://kushbuyshop.com/

With liquid cultures, most believe it is important to isolate a single strain, otherwise, you will lack consistency and control down the line, and the strains will compete with one another. Spore syringes, on the other hand, can be single or multispore.
