Took me a while to understand bulk substrates and casing and still don't quite understand all of it but I'm sure I'll get a better grasp when I start to get my hands dirty with bulk. Why do people make pouring agar and g2g transfer sound like it's hard. Seems like a simple enough process.. maybe its just having the lid off due to people starting with pf tek? I know agar is easily contaminated but thats cause it's designed for bacterial and fungal growth lol.
Nice thread Bodhisatta very informative.. book marked this thread and the one cronicr posted "links for jd to read". Both of you guys have been super helpful not only to me but to lots of others I've seen. You're both being given a     rating from me! Thanks for all your time and effort and thanks to others like you now and since past that have kept this information alive and thriving! Helping others is helping yourself for what are you but my reflection.

I've done a lot of reading of the same book over and over for years but unfortunately a lot of it is outdated information so now I'm filling in the pieces. Psilocybin MMGG Oss & Oeric

always feel free to send a PM if you're stuck, I can at least point you in the right direction. I think you might have found a damn good reason why everyone is afraid of agar and G2G coming from PF, the thing is having the lid off teaches you a lot about sterility. A lot of people are worried about their crops never getting a contam but it's inevitable so you might as well learn about sterility with agar work. People don't want to have to learn agar and how to g2g since they "cant afford" to have the mishaps be part of the learning. Those people should re-think why they're growing and keeping themselves out of jail.
The whole universe is just a weaving of smoke, we're all of the smoke.

When pouring petris in a sab or gb, always place tub on top of hard surface, DO NOT USE THE LID AS A SURFACE!!
Just lost 23 Petris cuz the lid will buckle just enough to topple over the entire stack, just after you pull your arms out.

I used the lid the first few times and had some mistakes like that too.

Have you thought about consolidating your favorite responses into the first post with a little 'prologue' to go with it? It is your thread after all. I don't think it would lose it's value if you cherry picked some of the responses you thought were important.

Well I'm still a noob and for me the hardest thing is getting spores to germinate on agar. Its really starting to make me mental. G2G no problem, Spore printing no problem, making syringes no problem, agar big fucking problem. Why the fuck dose agar hate me.

try take your loop while its hot and make a little divot where you put your spores and put a drop from a syringe there, other then that sometimes it just takes time for the spores to hydrate on agar for me
