ohhh, the shoes fits took a qt jar, than added some coir, verm, jiffy mix, and oyster shells. Dumped in boiling water, mixed with a plastic fork, then put the lid on.
waited a few hours, soaked the grain for an hour or two then mix together in some random plastic bin

So for this tek, its pretty much just normal agar (+ coloring) into cheap tupperware with a filter on it pretty much? In which you sterilize the containers and dont have to pour?

Can't wait to see em eat. Easy agar wedges to easy brf rounds has to be hands down one of the most toilet flush simple ways to get a clean culture and expand the hell outta it

3 months old and it didn't grow invitro?
I've had three month old spawn jars that didn't grow invitro that performed well after being spawned to bulk.
However I have also had 8 week old spawn jars that almost fully fruited and had retracted from the walls of the jar.
Genetics are weird mang.

Much gratitude for your work here Pasty!
I'll be starting my first agar work this week 
I have a question: My local mart didn't have any mini rounds. They did have medium rounds, but they also had 16 oz screw top containers so I got 9 of em. Now, I know Violet's tek says that there's no lid mod required and to just leave the lid unsealed, but do you think it would be worth it to mod the lids anyway if I already have rvt, sfd, poly, micropore? would it maybe help with condensation? Thanks

Nope! History has shown that if you do it, you'll probably come to regret it. People are starting to see that modifying them is essentially ruining them, though I was originally chided a bit for expressing my disappointment in seeing people maim theirs. The screw-top containers are the best, and keeping them unmodified is a major reason why.
There are better ways around any condensation problems, which IMO/IME aren't really problems anyway

Curious; would this happen to be essentially the likes of my culture tek but with BRF paste instead of WBR or grass seed?

How is it ruining the containers? do you mean just the medium rounds, or the mini rounds too?

It ruins the containers by beginning to trim the variety and effectiveness of their uses, and due to the fact that siliconing to plastic doesn't go as well as it did for classic metal lids. It can (and likely will eventually) fall off, possibly ruining any active grow going on inside. You may not even be aware if at any point part of the silicone has come undone but the SFD coin is still being held over the hole, causing you to get contamination without realizing it's sneaking under the broken seal of the silicone against the plastic. There are a few other detailed possible detriments too.
Muda and Pasty all now use their Ziploc, or off-brand, twist top containers without modifying them, coming around to my original strong suggestions for them. Muda told me that he considered the modified lids he made as having ruined them in retrospect. I think it ruins ALL plastic containers... which says something to how I feel about the glad rounds, since they require such modifications to work at all, which I don't think they work as well, and they certainly don't work for mycology in nearly as many ways.

I can't think of any uses where I wouldn't want gas exchange, and stuffing holes with poly is really easy (although it does interfere with the stackability)
Having said that, I haven't drilled very many of my screw tops simply because there's no need to.
Agree that the mini rounds don't have much use outside of this very specific one. But they're a very nice option to have for agar as well, so I don't see that as a problem.

I use these Ziploc containers for everything of course; when I want gas exchange, I have it. And when I don't - which there are a great many times you wouldn't - I don't have to have it.
You're correct there's certainly no need to, but there's also no significant advantage to, and numerous reasons not to.
Yes of course, it's not a 'problem', but I wouldn't spend a nickel on them before I'd spend a dime on a superior twist top. But that's me.

When do you not want gas exchange? Isn't it pretty much required for everything? Even agar?

Technically, there is enough oxygen to sustain mycelial growth with in a mini round and besides the lids become loose over extended use. We use a filter of sorts to keep the walls from caving in and lids from popping off.
