yeah but the idea from spores is to get  more then one isolate so ya sorta want some good sectoring:shrug:

not as much as normal i guess ur right.  but it would be hard for me to test that many isolates at once!!

I usually start several spore plates at a time just in case one is covered in funk. I'd rather just use one of the others than to try to spend the time cleaning which might cause me not to grab the pieces I want.

What's dfa? And I've never had my agar pin, how long do they normally take to pin and do you have to let them colonize the entire plate?

dogfood agar, tends to pin in under a month no problem if you leave the plate to colonize(any recipe will), you can then drop that pin on anopther plate or just toss it right in a grain jar

Ahh gotcha. I tend to always throw my plates in the fridge before they colonize fully.

Do you let them pin just so you know you have a fruiting strain?

Well me too. I actually think you're better off using clones without trying to isolate them any further. Occasionally though I've isolated individual strains for side-by-side experiments.

I was just throwing it out there because Mykes logos mentioned needing 4-5 transfers when you can get one in more like 2-3 transfers. I should probably mention the streaks I make are nearly the circumference of the plate, it has to be long enough.

I rarely ever go past T2 from clone but I assume noobs may transfer larger pieces and may have a tougher time with contaminants... and if you make an isolate from MS than you're much more blind than you would be from clone, and may be wasting your time.

But you can do both... many ways to get it done :hatsoff:

I have stones growing on one of my ATL plates. I was wondering if I can transfer it and revive the plate.
