Haha no I've been hitting up a lot of jars and I have some side projects I don't have listed.... plus I'm working on experimental ms mass isolation techniques.

Tip upside down to strain. Then just repeat down the line for all the jars. I don't soak usually though unless the grains are real dry.
could you (would you want to??) use the strained out water (obviously it would have some mycelium) to make bona-fide clean lc?

so im reading shit tons lately and feel like my spongy mushy brain is at field capacity... im also doing stuff and crazy anxious because, first pastyplates showed growth, did first agar pour last night, 6 quart of rye nocked up weeks ago with ms and look 'ok' at the moment with a couple questionable spots (we'll see), did two transfers from pasty plates to poured 60mm petris tonight (also first), still havent grown a fckin shroom yet and im feeling the GROW A DAMN SHROOM NOW feeling coming on strong. literally damn near $1k invest with tubs, buckets, grain and sub materials, parafilm, tape, scale, agar, petris, dehydrators, gloves, syringes, some chems, jars, lids, sfds, lol you all know the list.... havent even tasted a shroom in 20 years but I AM GOING TO DO THIS AND I AM GONNA DO IT RIGHT, and in bulk cuz, yea.
APOLOGIES FOR YAMMERING ON, but i keep reading about issues of getting agar transfers on, and then off, the knife. mayhaps if i hadnt inoculated myself with some special sauce tonight i would've kept quiet but for serious!?!? no body has come up with a fool proof way to get that shit into the next plate quickly and reliably?
cut plate up, recover with lid, and go back in with sterile tweezers, forceps, hemos, what ever? am i overthinking this? has the blue background of the shroomery got me feeling blue? yea, i fumbled fairly hardcore doing two transfers tonight and who knows if they come out ok but all the while i was swearing and sweating under my cheap hospital mask and i was thinking there has got to be a better way lol.
edit: while im letting my noobness shine, can someone tell me wtf AMU stands for lol?

I think I saw something like a push pen that would puncture and pull in and then push it out ejecting the transfer. If not I dreamed it.lol

I dropped a tiger drop in my sab and marked it to see if it gets contaminated, it seems to be doing fine. I was expecting to see contams or slow growth, but it's progressing fine. It's nice when I do a transfer like my hands are.thatbof a surgeon, but usually im.shaky.

I just saw that Vice Hamilton's Pharmacopeia "Magic Mushrooms In Mexico".. I think it is from last year, anyone else see this?
He tours the "largest clandestine mushroom lab in North America" hah
I gotta say they do have a lot of spawn jars going, a bunch of tubs, but aside from that.. Their tubs didn't look good at all, shitty yeild. Foil over the top of every quart jar for some reason. Dude uses a glove box, flames his exacto knife with some kinda torch lighter inside and his technique sucked.
It irked me

SO I want to knock up some masters. Realistically how big of a wedge do I need for a QT? I got some good clean plates and I want to take advantage of them.

Lol yeah we all know the feel. You feel you're working your ass off and everything goes at a snail's pace and you wonder if you are ever gonna grow mushies, that can def get to you, and yeah there are ways to get some quick mushrooms while you work on bigger things. Don't trash the donor plates, use 3 or 4 1st gen plates that look clean, make a 'blenderless LI' with all of them (that should be a fast inoculant), noc 3 or 4 jars of grain and also 3 or 4 pp5 bottles with screw on lid filled 1/3 with PF tek sub without the dry verm layers. Spawn the grains to cvg in tiny shoeboxes, a quart per each and grow the pf tek bottles invitro, that is, no need to do anything to them from the moment you inoculate them till harvest.
About your shaky hands, most of us have been there too, some will admit it, some won't and then there are the few gifted ones with the nervous system of a tibetan monk, but that is rare.
One thing that can help you a lot is practice with blank plates till you feel confident. Of course the real thing is different, but doing several simulations can def make you feel more comfortable with the scalpel, also do the simulations as close as possible to the real thing. Most people clutter up the SAB with donor plates and blank plates, that will limit your movements and you'll feel cramped. IMO that's acceptable if you are going to do just a handful of plates, otherwise I leave everything outside the SAB and introduce only 2 plates at a time that get sanatized before putting them in the SAB and I also sanitize them a second time in the SAB with an ISO soaked paper towel I keep in a plastic jar.
Some tips: dispose of the lid of the SAB and turn it upside-down on a wet towel, use wire racks to do your work on, spray the SAB with soapy water before work, place a potent lamp on the SAB, if your SAB has thick plastic walls solder out a rectangular piece and silicone a plexiglass pane on it, if you use no-pours work with them upside-down, after flaming the scalpel and introducing your hands through the holes wait like 30 seconds for the air to settle some (don't worry, no nasties will land on a red hot scalpel) and go directly to take a wedge from the donor plate, no need to cool the scalpel on the receiving plate.

I just thought it was weird, said " there are no bugs. Everything is working just fine. You should probably just try again later and forget this ever happens. In the meantime you will enjoy the main site instead. It had some pic that wouldn't load with a question mark icon with the name " Mohammed saeed al-sahaf " which I thought was a weird name. I was just worried I was getting hacked or my account was being reviewed for some reason.
I'm glad it wasn't just me, thanks for the reply..
On a side note, don't forget to wear some kind of glove when shaking jars.lol I was telling the gf how they can shatter and then boom, shattered a jar and cut up my hand.. no major injury, but damn it could have been worse.

They're making fun of starwars, using the force to tell you the site actually didn't temporarily crash lol. I imagine the pic would show a stormtrooper 
Same thing happened to me. It happens occasionally.

No they put that up when the site undergoes maintenance. It's a pic of an Iraqi dictator, that's his name.
