I use a mix of petris and no pour in various sizes of PP5s. I honestly find the PP5s easier to work with than proper plates. With petries my fingers get a bit to close to the rime for my liking.

What kind of food coloring do you guys use? i was reading the ingredients of some different kinds at my local grocery store and the gel has sugars in it and the liquid has preservatives in it. Im not sure but wouldnt preservatives hinder growth? Or would the small amount being used not make a difference?

It's probably better to use food coloring without but the coloring I use surely has those things as well, doesn't seem to have a negative effect as long as you don't use a lot of it.

I bought $10 all natural food coloring at a farmers' market. stuff was shit. took way too much to color the agar. I've been using the Krogers/Kings Sooper brand since and it works fine.

Yeah one drop of food coloring with sugar and weird shit is probably better than 10 drops of a different variety that sucks.

noc, one batch I tried to make black plates with the all natural stuff, which resulted in using way too much food coloring. the moisture content went off, and my plates remained a sludge-like consistency after the PC cycle. and it ended up like maroon not even black.

I love divided plates?

Not sure what's NOT to like about them? Pouring is just as easy as normal plates and I blew through a 100 pack of those and now am working on a 500 of tri. I can take three different samples and label them and use that instead of three petris. It's great for limited MS grows.

The stuff I use contains sugar and it has never caused any problems for me. I made black agar once. I had to use way too much coloring and the consistency was a bit off. It was black as night though.

I considered the black food coloring but figured it would take a lot to get it dark so I *think* I grabbed red, McCormick brand...should be a'ight right?

Also, I have some LME, do you think I should utilize that since I have it or just stick with the flakes and all?

Thanks Bro'shroomites!

Thanks for the link, awesome thread, he put alot of effort into that agar testing so we don't have to.  This is a great community of people, nobody is stingy with their info and methods and actually do things to help further it, good stuff.

ground crickets!? lol

Made some plates using LME 2.5g Agar 2.5g and a drop of Karo with 120ml of water.  seemed to turn out alright, condensation is covering the inside even though I treated the temperature/pressure very gingerly through the whole process, tried to bring it up real slow AND bring it down slow by decreasing the flame a little at a time for the last 2 or 3 minutes. let sit for hours + overnight.

since I only have the stuff I wanna work with in syringes, I added those tiny injection ports lol

Annoying, the stack fell over a little in the pc and a few of them tilted so the agar is very misshaped, still gave it a 'noc anyway for the hell of it.

I've recently adapted a new agar recipe as well. My ratio was 1:1.5:2, glucose:agar:potato flakes. Its firm and sticky, which works well for all my upside-down techniques with the pasty plates.
