G2G Noob.. Advice Needed

Getting into G2G.
Heres my SAB
This is going to be my first run.. I have 21 jars prepped for the G2G and lots of spawn.
Main question is how many master jars should I use to inoc the fresh 21? They are just under 2/3 filled. Is 1 master jar --> 7 new jars too much or should i just use 2 masters and do 10 and 11?

Well, there is no rule here. In theory, you just need one grain to colonize an entire jar, but of course you want to speed up the process and use more. You can't go wrong with a 1:3 or 1:5 ratio.

I like it.....but you might find the arm holes are a little to close together....I spread mine apart to match my shoulder width, it's now perfect.
Just a heads up.

Cool thanks, I'll probably just end up doing the 21 with 3 jars since I have some to spare.

Thank you! I'll give it a go on this first run and see how it is but I see what you're talking about when I get sat in front of it... only be like $10 to grab a new tub

Just tape that side up real good and melt holes in the other side. No need to waste a perfectly good tub on a minor mistake.

Here's 3 days after the G2G, how are they looking?


p.s @ PussyFart.. the holes were just a touch too close so for the $10 i think i'll be fixing my mistake. Thanks again for the advice

This mine. It looks like they're close but it is a big tote. They are a tad too far apart for me but I like em. I used soft ultra flex silicone for everything to the PVC actually gives quite a bit for extra reach. I cut and sealed the.bottom with 1/4" plexi and I use a 10:1 ratio of bleach and water to soak a towel to set it on then fold it up around the.edges. Aldo I cut off the gloves to stop the compression and vacuum caused by pulling hands out.and.putting.back in. They're basicly flaps to kinda keep airnfrom moving.too much when I do reach in. I wear long dish washing gloves and tyvek sleeves as well. Spray with a little Lysol let sit for an hr.or so and I've have 0 contams to anything so far. Except from a syringe to agar once. But that was in the.ms syringe. Maybe it helps. Sorry if useless info. I've never.done g2g but will soon. Good luck mayne

looks like you distributed to only one side of the jar, this will mean slower colonization. next time rotate the jar a good 1 or 2 times while shaking top to bottom to get an even spread for faster colonization. 
would say that's ready for shakin'

Another over top. Sorry the lights are in the way. It is super clear though. Just wanted to show the towel and how my gloves are cut short. About to do some transfers of this bad boy.

Everything I've read from TC's says shake once after G2G then wait for 100%. That myc doesn't even look fully recovered I don't think I'm going to shake again or at least a solid few days

On yeah I explained it in the post above. I wash then whole run in my jacuzzi soap and water. Then the towel is soaked real good with 10:1 water and bleach to kell anything that settles on it. Its folded up around the bottom edges to catch anything in the air if it does move and suck air in.through the bottom. I don't.even have to try hard at all to be as clean as.possible in it. I've made 46 agar plates two lc jars and 22 transfers and 12 grain jar knock ups open lids agar wedges not string. And only one plate had a tinyspec of bacteria. That's it.

Very good man. My box has a small glass window (where'd you get plexi ?)
I also don't the pvc inserts where the holes are and I figure I definitely need to add them now along with the dish gloves cut off and glued to the end of it. WOW man...

Plexi at home depot. I duct tapes my gloves on then just cut off the.hands. glued the 4 inch couplings on both sides. Pretty expensive.but I love.it. works flawlessly. Spray a little Lysol in and let settle for an hr and.dive.in.

I'll be doing this. How did you make the holes? I used a coffee can. Will the 4" pvc fit in those?

No.....g2g jars should only need to be shaken once, right after the transfer.....not after 30%.....
