Hydrotech my suggestion if you are thinking about getting some syringes is Koh Samoi, its been a great mushroom to grow. I'm doing casings in lasagna trays, made with 3 1-pint jars of myc, and have been getting 2.5-3 oz per tray on average before it gets any contams. I also really enjoyed the trip I had off of the South American strain. I want to get some of the penis envy, and I'd also like get some blue meanies. I grew them a couple years ago, and they were pretty intense.
I'm glad things are well JG, sorry your little plants aren't doing better. Don't give up though, a little TLC can go along ways. This your last semester of school, or you just trying to finish up this semester?
