think i'd like to jump in on this. i've never done spore to agar and just happened to get me a PE6 print.
few question. how do i start?
Quote:
make agar take knock loop run through print to agar
of course i'd do every thing clean like flame sterilize, and use a glove box. just kinda need the gist of it all. i been reading some. figured this would be a good place to start.

sab not a glove box! you can start with blues agar write up or pasty's or any of the proven teks on here and go from there, you just want some nice clean growth and theres no need to isolate anything just yet for your first time i suggest keeping it simple and clone when your ready

I use sterilized q-tips for moving spores to agar. Disposable and cheap. I put a few dozen in a half pint regular mouth jar, and pc with grain or agar. I rub my print a bit, than lightly touch the agar. All it takes is a few spores per plate.....the less the better. You can do a few dishes with one qtip.
There are many good agar teks, and for someone starting out, use the search function for "no pour agar". Agar can be pre-loaded into small glass ball jars OR pp5 plastic containers. Its a great place to start for someone new to agar, or even someone who simply does not feel like pouring into dishes.
Welcome to the party. Hope we can help see you through the whole process.
EDIT: What better way to spend my vacation than to help on the shroomery full time lol. Staycation for the win! If I didn't enjoy this forum, Id not be here.

im using pasty's tek with the glad, and micropore tape. got 24 rounds ready for agar. figured id do the print to agar, then clean agar to wbs, g2g, spawn, pick then clones to agar
thanks for the q-tip idea any of them work brand wise?

Whatever you got in your medicine cabinet will work great.
And you are correct in your process. It looks simple and quick when you put it into a single sentence. Generally 2-3 transfers from agar are suggested for everything from clones to multispore. After about 2-3 xfers you will be able to then move a small cutting of agar to grain. So long as its done in the still air box/glove box, you really reduce your chance of issues to nearly 0% if you take your time. Still air boxes are the best thing ever!

I just wanted to ask a small question aswell, I have a B+ print I'll be putting to agar by innoc loop and sterilized cotton swabs..
Guess I'll see which I like better.
But my question is that I have EQ and GT syringes which are quite old, 15 months?, and anyways I'd like to put those to agar too.
Was wondering if I could put some spore solution ina shot glass or something and then take a qtip and soak some of that solution, then inoculating a petri with agar? Sounds to me like it'd work, I just wanted to do it so I didnt have to deal with too much liquid solution on my agar...think it'd work?

That is entirely possible, but I would certainly do one or 2 with the smallest drop straight from the needle. After 15 months, anything is possible with syringes. Most syringes are not 100% clean, and waiting months/years can accelerate the growth of what was minimal when it was created.
Shake them syringes good, and give it a try.

 definitely would do a drop or two onto the agar with a needle, and be sure to shake the shit outta those old needles. good luck! also pasty and i did a quick little trial with tetracycline agar (you can find tetracycline at local pet store) i had put some bacteria onto the tetra agar and the bacteria never spread i waited two weeks (i think)... it won't stop other fungus's or molds but it is a good way to print wild prints, or possibly questionable syringes or prints.

so curiosity and boredom got the better of me today, and i decided to go look at both health food shops to compare prices on agar and rye. the one closest to my house rye was almost $2.00/ lbs. and a bottle of agar was almost $10.00!!! the other one that is kinda on my way home from work was a little over a dollar for a pound of rye and agar was $2.00 cheaper! at least i know where i'm going in a couple weeks for supplies after everything blows over! i can't wait to get back to it!
