I'm diving in and trying out I'm gonna give Pastywhyte's Easy Agar!!

I have 2 questions, I'm stuck on:
1. Do I need to drill the hole in the Glad minis or do I cover, wrap in foil and put in PC?

2. How much water should I put into the pressure cooker?  The minis are very small


Thank you




1. Yes they will be crushed otherwise
2. You should put the minimum amount that your pressure cooker requires as stated in the manual. I put two layers of mason jar lids in the bottom and then the trivet/rack that came with the pressure. I fill the water to the trivet which is a few inches of water. The plates go on top of that.

Those questions make it seem like you haven't read the pasty plate thread closely or are ignoring what it says for some reason. You might want to read it again.

Thank you appreciate the information in your response. 

Don't appreciate your ignorant comment at the end. You've been here a little over a year, and I've been here over 7 ... if you can't say anything kind, censor yourself for the sake of everyone's sanity




I don't see his comment as ignorant. Just an honest opinion and it was good of him to mention it. Criticism is not easy to recieve but it's critical to success in life. This hobby can be challenging and if you can't handle some frank comments it's going to be even harder when you get struck with some real challenges. You are growing a felony, imagine how sensitive the authorities will be if you get caught.

Length of tenure has very little to do with skill set. You have been here longer than I have. What does that say?

Am I the only one who finds it completely impossible to make PastyPlates with no condensation? I've made a few batches now, and I don't get what I'm doing wrong. I'm about to make 16 plates tonight, and would like to get them out of the pc with no water on the sides. I always let the pc cool way longer than 8 hours. Usually closer to 20/24 hours by the time I'm able to take everything out. Advice?

Condensation is pretty much a non issue for me. Usually dries up in a few days. It's not a vector. Make your plates in advance.

I do,  I have them in the fridge, but it never clears up, even after a month. But I guess that's because I leave the foil on until I use them

Take the foil off and it clears fast. I leave it on until I use them and they clear in a few days, usually in time to observe the growth. Also never store unused plates in the fridge, if there are CFU'S present you want them to germ and grow so you know not to use them.

I am not discussing tenure as it relates to skill set, so not sure where you got that from. 
An encouraging attitude is everything in sharing knowledge, especially in an forum where everyone is trying to improve.

Tenure came in when you compared your reg date to his. As for encouragement I feel that people demand too much. It wasn't like he called you a fucking tard and a waste of skin. He just said that it felt like you weren't absorbing as much as you should have and that you should reread. The fact that he took the time to try and help you improve should be enough. Nothing to be butthurt over IMO.

I don't sugar coat my advice, I simply don't get paid enough to do so. Take what I give you or leave it, it's your grow not mine.

So the only way you are willing to accept advice or criticism is if the person giving you the help is simultaneously kissing your ass? Seems to me that it should be the other way around.

Environmental conditions come into play when it comes to the condensation of all media vessels.  If your temps swing 10-15 degrees, you will see condensation.  The best fix for condensation is to keep your spawning area at a constant temperature and relative humidity.  I go with 70-72F & around 50% RH.
