I've tried every tip and trick suggested in this thread and never was able to get them to come out without condensation. It doesn't hurt anything. When you go to inoculate them remove the foil and over the course of the next week-ish (sometimes longer) the condensation will slowly go away. Some people like to wipe it off with the paper towel when they open the lid to inoculate, but I've found that to be an un-needed contam vector.
If you want to get a good look at what's going on in the plate while condensation is all over the walls preventing you from seeing in, hold the plate up near a ceiling light and look in through the bottom. I've spotted bacteria that way that I couldn't see from the sides/top even without condensation on the walls, so I personally think that's the best way to look at what's going on in them anyway.
thanks for the tips. the syringe part was for dishing out the agar to each plate while still hot.

HAH, it must just be in some people's mind that they just gotta try one, I did the same thing, much better when cooked LOL!
So, I just ordered a lb of agar, 38$, so I should be good to go on that side of things for a while, now I need to remember to get some food coloring.

When I first met my girl that I've now been dating for a year and two months I used to take care of plants and shit. My apartment was always clean 'cause I'm a neat freak but when she saw the plants I knew I was getting laid.
Bitches like guys that can take care of things.

I've had more success fruiting them in agar than in normal fruiting conditions from a grain jar. :/

Just wanted to say that thanks to being inspired by this process I've been able to get Psilocybe Cyanescens mycelium to grow in condiment cups. Super great tek and very adaptable.
Just thought I'd share since I'm finally seeing a bit of success.

Hope you post the fruits here.
I remember your original thread about an indoor P. Cyan grow and everyone flamed you. In a month or two I hope I see you back here like:

Not sure why you chose a condiment cup though.

I beg to differ.
My boy's a bartender at a new bar over on the ritzy part of town and makes 2-3-400 a weekend. Never less then 2 sometimes over 4. Then again it's a tradeoff. He's a great bartender so he moves around from place to place a lot. If he sees somewhere is just about to open he'll try to get in on the ground floor and swoop up that new-restaurant/new-bar money if you know what I mean.

2-4 hundred dollars in a weekend really isn't much money.

Cheap effective petri's basically, 3$ for like 50 at a whack is pretty cost effective.
Planning on starting a log soon, I potentially have three species propagating right now.

Yeah, I hate negativity, I once was in a jam, and the condiment cups worked GREAT!
I also used some dq sundae containers once too, worked out good also, petri dish or condiment cup, who gives a fuck if it works, IMO!

that was not directed at you TAYgo, I just saw all this negativity in this thread lately, and I just caught a glimpse of that, and thought why is everyone starting to be so down on people in this thread lately?
I did not even see who the poster of that was until just now, so I hope no offense taken, none was meant my friend!

Well it's at least partially his fault for making a username that he didn't want to be called variations of, but I sympathize. I get called alllll kinds of random shit myself. I suspect everyone's username has 100 ways to be misspelled.
