The journey to find my system 1

Well, I mentioned in one of my other grow threads that I wanted to start spawning to bulk monotubs using wild bird seed. I am doing a couple multispore runs first, to find, isolate, and clone a good specimen using agar to use for the future. I have all of the equipment I need for all this now including a 23 qt pressure cooker. I made my lids for the spawn jars this evening, and I am sharing the pictures for you to see. This thread will be me, learning from you, and documenting feeling my way to my own system of growing. Please feel free to critique anything you see me doing that is off, thanks!
I bought synthetic filter discs, and am using TranscendingLife's lid tek.

injection ports for needles. If you get into agar and do g2g those will be rendered useless.

Someone pointed that out to me, but, I had ordered them, already...
Besides, I have a plethora of lids. I bought another pack of lids, and I have the plastic lids for those jars, also. Is RR's three hole lid under the sfd the preferred way, or is there a "slicker" way?

Wbs has been rinsed, soaked, and boiled then strained. Got them pretty dry, no clumping, etc. Placed into jars. They are currently enduring 15psi hell in my pressure cooker. 120 minute timer has started. Then I'll leave them be for 6-8 hours before inoculation. I am doing MS a few runs while I do agar in the background to isolate a nice potent mushroom.

LOL, I've already decided to get 12 more jars today, and 2 more 66 quart totes....That way, I can start two tubs at a time with a delay for the other two tubs....four tubs total...delusions of grandeur?

Yeah, three will fit lying down on top. I have to adjust my wbs measurement when rinsing....I underestimated, but, my plan is to run 10 at a time.

UPDATE:
Here are some pics of my agar progress. I took 8 clones from the first mature mushroom in my first monotub. The pictures are four days apart. I also did 10 MS plates with a single drop of spores in the center of each plate. There is a little progress, but I think I'll take pics of those when the second set of clone plates show signs. That's nine more plates of clone tissue. I will isolate more until I have a monoculture (correct term?) I have a MS grain jar also, so I have time to isolate very well. Two more tubs until I innoc jars with agar wedges, so I can take at least 4 more clones and grow them out to decide which one I will make into slants and keep. This is very fun and rewarding. I think I am overdue for contams, but, I will take this streak for as long as it goes.

If you go to make some filtered plastic lids (my preference) be sure to scuff up the plastic a little with some sand paper so the silicone will adhere better. I have also found that using a nice thick bead of silicone is the trick to making lids that hold up well over time.

Already done, including the scuffing.

How are you doing your agar? Making in bottle in a PC then pouring into plastic dishes in SAB?
