Where did you get these agar plates from? Can you PC them? They look nice.

Some of the worst contaminated plates

This week was a nightmare. I have never been so careful yet I have never experienced this much contams.
At first I thought this is happening because of a faulty sleeve

But then I made a new batch after cleaning the shit out of my SAB with bleach and soap and im still getting this fucking yellow mold. Its really starting to wear me down. For one I cannot afford to keep buying new shit every few days. And on the other hand you start to lose interest in something when all you get are losses. Worst part is I don't know wtf is this yellow piece of shit mycelium and even in contam forum they couldn't name the bitch.
Today ill go make one last buy at the supermarket for a bigger SAB but if I dont get a win soon I will throw all the agar related shit in the can. The funny thing is( makes me wanna cry tho) I knock up my jars with LC in open air and do agar in SAB. I never failed this hard with grains which make it so much worse.
I feel you man atm even looking at my SAB makes me mad as hell

and what variety are you using? The contam doesnt look so bad. Clean it up on a new plate. Thats what agar is for. You can't expect it to work on the first transfer.

Plates are just normal plastic plates with homemade agar. I added food coloring to see contams better. Yes true you can expect some contams but lately agar has been a bitch. That time I had the torn sleeve I only saved 2 out of 18 or so plates. Hopefully the torn sleeve plus the small SAB was the problem. I didn't used to have this many contams on agar before

Bummer man. Wishing you luck. What type of alcohol are you using? one time I used a no name brand of disinfectant to wipe down my SAB and it caused me problems for months before I realized it was "environmentally friendly" and didn't kill bacteria worth a damn.

a SAB is all about the still air anyways, killing 99,99% of 100 billions still = way too much nasties.
spray, dont wipe, you wanna trap the contam spores from the air to the walls of the sab.
