LC Colonized, still need GE?

One of my LCs FINALLY worked and I have a good cloud of myc growing. I'm happy with where it is and want to save it in the fridge. I wasn't thinking and didn't put a hole for gas exchange in the lid, so all I have is the self healing port. Right now, I have a syringe with a coffee filter in the port to allow for GE. Once I put it in the fridge, will it still need fresh air? Or am I safe just pulling the syringe and allowing the port to close?

Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.

It's ok with the air that's in it. Did you shoot a test jar? Better do that before you get too excited.

No, not yet. But, I'm hopeful. Yesterday, there were a couple balls of "fingers" that look just like the myc in my jars and today they've joined into a bigger mass. I'm going to cook some jars this afternoon and test them.

LC's can look pristine and still have all sorts of nasties in it shoot a test jar or be willing to lose all the jars that you cook up.

You mean something like this:
That's my lc, i used to colonize a jar and some petri dishes. I can confirm its myc. Today i checked this jar again and myc cloud has grown twice it's size already. It really grows fast in liquid medium isn't?

Damnit, after looking at those pictures, I think I have a contam. That makes 4 failed LCs using the beginner friendly tek.

You can't tell anything by looking. And is this the no-PC tek?

Correct. I'll knock up a couple jars to make sure.

4 out of 4 failures with no PC... I'd say it's time to bite the bullet and buy a PC.

You really don't need a PC for making LC, you can use the microwave. I didn't have any contaminants so far.
Prepare the solution and microwave it in maximum potency for 3:30 minutes, u have to babysit it otherwise the liquid is going to explode. When u notice a violent bubbling pause it, then restart it. Once u open the microwave door quickly put the lid on the jar. Easy
