I'm Back my Fellow Shroomerites!!!!
im about to start my first Agar Dishes using a AA+ Print acquired through the Market place
i have finished my SAB according to Transcendinglifes Tek! awaiting for my tyvek sleeves to be 100% finished
but i miswell start right
i will be using 1/4 pint size Mason Jars i have 18, Which means ill be Using a No-Pour Agar tek
my Agar will consist of Agar Agar powder acquired from the Asian Market All Natural Local Honey Ida-Hoan Orignal Instant potatoes No Butter or anything else. Tap water Pressure cooked at 15 mins for 25-35 mins now Before i pour these up Real Quick
Do i need to alter the jar lids or use a tyvek cover or anything or can i simply use the metal rings and lids Un-modified and if anything looks wrong/bad LMK

IMHO I hate doing agar in jars, it is a royal pain. But I think you have to make an injection port if you are using MS. PM if you want a link to cheap plastic sterile petri dishes with free delivery.

I've been wondering the same thing.
I just bought a bunch of 2.5 oz baby food jars, and I'm wondering if I'll need to modify the lid to eliminate the possibility of pressure build up while in the PC. I bought these jars with the intention that I would use them in the same way you'll use your 1/4 pints, with a no-pour agar tek. BTW, where do you get those 1/4 pints? I looked around for the longest but wasn't gonna pay more in shipping than I did for the actual product. 
Although, my agar formula is different and seemingly much more simple:
Malt Extract Agar (MEA) 10 grams light malt extract 9 grams agar agar 500 ml potable or distilled water
Check here for some other agar recipes in case you have any questions.
Good luck on your endeavors! I'll be sure to check back here for the answer to my our question.

Agar agar from the store will work but is not the optimal agar as it's "food grade" therefore containing preservatives. Mycelium is not a fan of preservatives.
