This is a story about how I was a dumba$$ who rushed into things too quickly. while I used awesome teks, I did NOT follow them to the letter as many post's suggested that I do. Waiting, and patience is key. I lost 6 jars, a spore syringe, and about 4 days worth of time that could have been better spent doing it the right way. This is on top of the fact that all my supplies for growing could have been cheaper if I had researched a little harder and asked for advice before I started growing. This thread shall be the first and end of my failures. From here forth I will be taking the advice from the pro's. Thanks to everyone so far who has helped.
Everything else is left now for education to those who want to read. When I get my new syringe I will start a fresh thread. I also think I will be working in correspondence to blue's new thread which will also be using agar to start from scratch. Here's a picture of the still air box I built.

Hopefully it will help in the future.
thats what i use for my monos 
i wouldnt call it failure by any means, i bet you get it in the next try

Word, and I actually have the same one for my SGFC it's a great size and color.
I appreciate all the positive feedbasck everyone. Very excited to get the albino syringe. Hoping to make some really nice isolates from it.
I also found a nice place where it's dark and the temp seems to be a steady 69. I am hoping this will be a good incubation location for the petris.

Alright ladies and gents. The spore syringe got here hella fast. Much faster then my petris, those aren't going to get here till at least tuesday, which is cool because I was thinking about getting a second syringe since this one came so fast.

tonight I am going to whip up a PDYA batch, sterilize it with my small pressure cooker, then pour it into my 1/2 pint wide mouths in a SAB. After this I am going to sterilize those jars with the PDYA mix in them, in a my big ol' steamer for extra pasteurization.
Hopefully this will eliminate all possible initial contaminates in the agar and jars. Once it cools in the morning I am going to innoc them with the spore syringe using proper sterile procedures(SAB after 1 hour of stillness, Flame syringe, no alcohol wipe.)
The incubation section is sitting at a stable 78f. Anything I need to go over or any additional advice before I innoc in the morn?

So you are going to try and get an isolate first then use that agar to inoculate your brf cakes?

I want to get a nice isolate strain and then use it for BRF cakes yes.
I'm not sure of an effective way to innoc the BRF substrate though. From what I have read it seems like getting a strong isolate, then adding it to a LC for BRF innoc works great.
Could just say f*ck it and go with grains and mono's tho...

There are million ways to go. If you are going to isolate first, I would suggest making several isolates. 10 should be good. You dont want to go through all the work of isolating 1 specimen and then that one turns out to be a slow grower or worse a no fruiter.
Or you could just noc up brf cakes first, then take a clone of your best fruits, using that isolate so you know what you get.
Best of luck.

cakes are great for testing iso's, i'd suggest simply using a proper filter with no dry verm and adding your wedge though, lc is an extra step u don't need

That's one way I was thinking about doing it. Just drop it it like a grain jar and hope for the best.
