I'm assuming this is pretty safe right? You don't get put on some "list" or something do you? They asked for a phone number so it sketched me out a little and didn't wanna jump into anything that could get me in trouble

Nope lol there good to go. I just got an order n from them on saturday. I bought the random 4 syringes for $35. They sent me the Ban Thurian, Amazon, Alacabenzi, and creeper. They dont have anything on there boxes that make them suspicious or anything. Im definatly going to order threw them again.

They're safe, I've ordered from them before. I've had better experiences with sporeworks in terms of quality, but I can't say I've ever had contamination issues with 101. Typically, their spore syringes are just a bit diluted for my tastes. Sporeworks on average takes 3-5 days to show growth, 101 sometimes takes around 7-8 days or more. They have great deals though, use 'shroomtalk' discount next time you order, it'll pretty much take away the shipping costs.

yea i used some code to get 5 bucks off. that's what it basically did. I would have used sporeworks but they said they were out of stock of alacabenzi and that's the one I really wanted.

I've purchased from them 3 times in the last yeat without any problems. although my last order was a "creeper" syringe that didn't do shit, I wrote them seeing if it was a common problem... suprise no answer. but that's only one time Im just assuming i got a bad syringe. not to mention there super fast shipping

Yeah, I've had some bum syringes from them that would start growing and flat out stall while all other strains were fine. It was actually the B+, luckily it was a free syringe so wasn't that big of a deal.

As far as specific strains go, a cube is a cube. The only exception to that is Penis Envy varieties such as uncut and Ape and Great White Monster. Those are more potent :hump:and the PE is hilariously shaped. Sporeworks carries them, next time I highly recommend checking them out.

unfortunatly for me they didn't show a single sign of growth, and i paid for it lol. I may check them out aswell next round.

sporeworks has everyone of those PE ones you mentioned? I'll be checking that out next time then

Yup, they're out of stock sometimes since they're so popular and hard to print (require swabbing actually). I think last time i checked they had PE, PE Uncut and APE. Apes are the Albino version with the bluish-non pigmented caps.

its debatable, some of my veteran grower friends swear by ape and consider anything else inferior. A lot of people collect strains starting out and switch to just growing out one of the PE's and nothing else for a reason. So my suggestion if you just had to pick one, go for APE. Dosing on Ape is not the same as other cubes though.

I will probably just pick them all up so I won't have to worry. That's why I bought the 6 pack. Just starting up my collection.

Pretty much what I did. Remember to print some caps and save them. Even if you only do a few runs, I've heard of prints lasting up to 50+ years. Pe's are normally not printable, so swabs or cloning is required.

Thats most likely because they are only allowed by law to sell the spores as they are. Spores in and of themselves are not illegal . However once u give them the conditions to fruit, then it does. They probably felt like u had desires to do illegal things with the syrings thus they didnt want to get involved.

How sad that we outlaw SPORES in AMerica. Spores...wtf did they do to become outlawed ? lol Leave to humans to think there laws actually triumph the laws of mother nature. Mushrooms have been here waaaaay before us humans, but we still think we have logic in outlawing them.....what a world lol

Yeah, as soon as the spores germinate, they're illegal. Spores are legal in most states with the exception of a few (California off the top of my head). Florida has more lax laws when it comes to hunting.

How hard is swabbing or cloning? I'm just getting started trying this out. Printing seems easy enough though.
Swabbing is exactly how it sounds, use a sterilized q-tip to swab the gils. Since the cap on the PE variety doesn't lend itself to printing, this is how commercial syringes are basically made. Cloning involves taking a tissue sample from a fruit and putting it into a liquid culture.
