I don't know why everyone says they're great. Two Spores Syringes that were dead on arrival. Apparently this happens pretty often with them. Avoid. So many better vendors out there.

Bought a 4 pack of the same spores. They were all blanks. When I reported that they closed the ticket and gave no refund. Looking at the most current reviews they are doing this to a lot of customers

bunk syringe. no spores I noticed when I got it. but tried it anyway, and no germination, so now I'm not only out money for this, but my grow bags too! 👎

I received four spore syringes that produced nothing after almost two months. I decided to try this company because of the good reviews I've read, but now I'm seeing negative reviews here with the same experience I had. I was suspicious because the syringes I received were completely clear. What if they sent me plain water? I won't be buying from this company again.

I guess I had too many question and Nathan decided to ignore me. The spores never germinated and it could of been me but he didn't want any part of me. THEY never grew and don't know why.

I bought isolated spores. They are definitely contaminated. I've done this work long enough to figure out where the contamination was introduced. I contacted them about the problem and they dont respond. For these two reasons I would not spend my money with such an unethical seller.

When I received my spore syringe IT contains.no spores!!! Any one that has bought them before knows there should be at least a few purple dots (spores) In it this is clearly water.
