Just because you used an agar wedge to knock up an LC does not mean it's clean....test jars should still be shot up.
And that is why LCs suck....even from agar.....you could have just knocked up grain jars and G2Ged them out, and saved a bunch of time and effort.
Going from agar to LC is like stepping backwards IMO.

Now I am even more confused, I though LC would give me more bucks for the print. I only have one print at the moment, what would you recommend I start with? Agar? I really want to make a monotub for my first grow.

If doing cakes, I would just make a spore syringe, or put the spores on agar if doing grains.

I know, you are right but to save beating my head against the nearest wall I thought id help them lessen their chances from really high to high of getting a contaminated LC.
Im done with LC now and only use agar.
Congrats on the TC tag...........

Okey, thanks. Maybe I will start with making spore syringes and cakes, and then break the cakes up and mix them with coco-coir and verm. How does this sound for a first grow?

'Buck' is slang for 'dollar' ($) just like: 'quid' is a pound (£)
So if you have a print and can successfully make a large amount of LC, you have then gotten more "bang for your buck" or "your money's worth"

I understand what the word buck means, but the way he used it just confused me.
He should have said more bang for the buck....not "more bucks for the print" lol.
LC from spores will get you more headache for the buck, with slightly less bang.

Make a culture on Agar from spores, isolate 6 genetics, grow them out and take tons of spore prints while u do, swap for other varieties and species, stick the best genetics in a slant, Never buy another spore print....... No need for bucks at all after initial purchase?

Yeah. No need for bucks, unless you want to order a different species or a different set of genetics(same species, but labeled under a different "strain")

Strangely enough people swap all sorts of spore prints. I Just swapped a thai Cube for a Psi Mexicana. Very nice indeed!
