I can grow mold like a pro!!

Hi guys,
Just wondering if there is a specific agar tek for a glove box using a syringe?
So far all I have accomplished is a kaleidoscope of mold. I usually spray a lot of alcohol around everything a half hour before i begin, then I make a pit in the agar and mix some syringe sauce in. This has the effect of making a lot of condensation and mold everywhere but ... no mycelium.
I have left a petri dish for a week in the same place without trying to inoculate it and it has stayed contam free, so I know its an issue with my glove box/syringe tek.
Would love some valuable shrooomery input, thanks.
Oh, also the spores are from ******** could this be my problem?
Thanks

Try to keep the box off of the floor, put it on a chair or table or something like that. I've also heard of people putting tin foil (or a certain kind of tape, I forget which) over the jars so that no contams can get in the holes that you made to put the syringe in. Hope this helps and goodluck!

rip the gloves off your box and call it a SAB instead, use very little spore water on the agar, even better just squirt some on your loop and streak that.
spores101 is a major problem yes, still surprised the syringe wasnt just water tho.

Can we not talk about sponsors in here? This is a cultivation forum, and those are for microscopy.

you must use a sab for agar work 
What you do you make your agar and pc it at 15 psi for half and hour let cool till the bottle is touchable with gloves on then unwrap the packet of dishes and you can place them on one of these to avoid direct contact with the bottom (the black thing) then carefully take each dish pouring them and allowing them to cool while wrapped in syran wrap. Youll have to use it one sheet at a time ti avoid tilting the still hot agar.
Once cooled un wrap and begin to place a drop of spores on each of the plates then wrapping in paraflim or syran wrap.

Wow! I brushed my teeth and had 3 replies! I f-ing love this forum. Sorry Inocuole, I don't meant to step out of line... new to posting here.
The SAB thing interests me, does it not drastically increase the chance of introducing foreign bodies into your working environment?

how frank gets his shit done - you should take a look!
a SAB will always beat a GB from a plastic tub, its not air tight anyway and you want to flame your tools outside the box to keep still air.
and re; the officer comments i'm fuckin glad inoc helps keep this place happening, if we all talked about how to misuse sponsors spores and sell drugs etc this place would be closed in a second and we'd all have to go to fuckin topia or some other lame site that's stuck in the 90s

Not if the air in the box is still that means there is not as many particles floating around in the box than just open air . Which explains the mold you are growing

Sorry Mr Bart are you saying that SAB is better than a GB for keeping the area sterile? I have never used open air. I must make it clear that the spores are for oyster mushrooms of course

Then you're looking for this forum:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/13
This forum is for psychoactive mushrooms only. So either admit you're growing them or post in the correct forum. And yes a SAB is better than a GB because you can't flame your tools outside of a GB, and that creates currents inside when you do, or you go without flaming your tools, which is bad.

Sorry I just don't have any patience for the "oh but they're oysters" line. Heard it a million times, if they were really oysters, there's a forum for that.

lol yeah, so just stop mentioning vendors, dont stop talking about cultivation 
if you just start over with a new print I'm sure everything will go much better for ya, spores101 isnt even a vendor its a scam site that is a parasite on mush cultivators. Send them a e-mail tell them to go to hell and die and just take it as a learning experience.

I'm about to make a SAB with a 56qt sterilite box and some PVC drain caps. Is it better to offset the arm holes or have them level?

How are you making a pit in the agar? That is your problem right there I think.
Forget the pit. Just put a single drop of solution on the dish and close immediately.

I usually try and embed the liquid into the agar by scratching the surface whilst injecting. It is always my aim to not have any liquid sloping around on my agar so I only use a drop or so.
Appologies if this question is out of order but I was wondering if, In my circumstances would people here order new spores (bearing in mind that mine came from *******)
