"Easy agar mini-rounds" sounds about right...maybe something like "all the benefits of agar with none of the hassle of petri dishes"
And if it ends up being reviled in a year, at least your name isn't all over it

It's not the "FH grain dunk" or the "Citric polyfill tek". It's just the "grain dunk" or "dialed-in monotubs."
Best to name things descriptively so people know what they are at a glance
When I'm talking with my biology friends down at the university we always say 'franks proper pasteurization' and my incubator will always be 'franks titi' to me and when I come home, every night I gently slide my hand down the edges of Frank's Titi and slowly lift up its top to inspect its firm warmth. After my inspection I let the top back down on to it's hard edges and whisper gently 'good girl'
BUUUUUUUUUT then again I'm just going to call them 'easy plates' the next time a new shroomerite asks about the dangers of pouring agar in an SAB.

I'm good with that. Really I wrote this for the community so, whatever is good for them is fine by me. Easy plates has a nice ring IMO and gets the message across, so if that's what catches on then

You should tell them that there are none...because there are none.

Pasty, about to do this tek for some xfers.
I normally don't add a hole for GE when it comes to my agar jars.
do I need to add them to the pp5?

The hole helps keep the vacuum from crushing the container. I found that if I use too small of a hole it will buckel a bit so that's why I recommended the 1/4". Have had some good feedback on the tek and will be testing some alternatives to micropore tape as some people have a hard time locating it as well. Will have my findings up soon.

Should work, let us know how the polyfill treats you.

They turned out fine. A little condensation in the jars, but I didn't use foil when I pc'd.
its a recession. Don't judge me.
haven't done any xfers yet. Out of disposable gloves. Keep forgetting to steal then from work.

I ain't gonna judge, just glad people are getting on board agar is too good to let excuses like "its hard " or "I don't want to have to order stuff online" to prevent people from trying this exciting aspect of the hobby.

question: if these plates are "poured" in larger quantities (say 3 TBS instead of 1 TBS per plate) would they make for longer term storage in the fridge for cultures because of the increased depth (wrapped in plastic/bagged up of course)? I do not have $ for slants right now, or will I in the next 2 months. I have some untested cube isolates, as well as maitaki and skiitaki clones taken from grocery store that grew out clean, all of them r on these pasty plates, and time restrictions r forcing me to delay the starts of newer grow projects. how long do u think these could last in fridge with a larger amount of agar...and would it be beneficial to tilt them a bit, like with a slant, while cooling if this was to be done? I have had this happen inadvertently while they cooled in the pc, and those plates are a bitch to transfer from because the agar is so deep in the middle of the culture, but it got me thinking about the relationship to the agars depth and its shelf life.
Im going to have to do it either way but I wanted to throw it out there for opinions.
also might as well ask...what is the longest any of you has kept a petri/easy plate/no pour plate WITH growth in the fridge and it still remain viable? I personally have used colonized grain jars after 5 months with success, but have never used (or tried) agar from fridge that was longer than a month. (Pasty, I can move this to a new thread if u want, its not meant to thread jack, but I put it here because ur plates can be poured to a larger depth than petris, so i thought it was related enough to make post here, and if it works, u can add the info @ the end of ur tek? )
