I was just wondering what your thoughts are on using dry spores on the agar. If I sterilize a wire loop and then dip it in the agar and then scrape up some spores and deposit it on the agar will it work? Apologies if this has already been answered, but there are 250 plus pages of comments to sort through.... I did my best

It's the nutrients for the mycelium to feed off of which is nessisary for agar, although you could replace it with just about anything. Brown rice flour, dog food, wheat bran, etc.
You could also use some grain soak water as nutrients
Honey or karo is only nessisary when making potatoe agar so if you use a different ingredient then you can take the honey or karo out of the recipe

Honey, sugar in the raw or dextrose for pda works pretty much the same for me, haven't tried karo though.

So.. these 2 can be removed and mycelium will grow in plates without any problem?
You will need: -1 pack of Glad mini rounds -micro pore tape -a drill with a 1/4" bit or very hot nail -paper towels -Foil -PC -Bar of agar agar
-Potato flakes
-Karo or Honey -Coffee grinder -And of course a PC, even a shitty ass one will work

They will not grow if you remove those two from the list. You need nutrients... so potatoe flakes, BRF, dogfood, or something.
...But how about just try following the tek first. I think that would be best Potatoe flakes and honey arent hard to find

Ok i will follow the tek, use potato flakes and honey. No food coloring though.
Also, I will drill a hole to the side to eliminate the use of paper towel and foil.

I am planning to make 8 plates using the mini rounds tomorrow.
1 drop of liquid from spore syringe per plate is enough right?
