Eek. Not much room for trial and error there haha. May have to get more than that. So. Very basically, I put spores on agar, they grow out, and the contams. I take a chunk of mycelium from a nice clean area, put it on new plate. New plate grows out. That's then clean myc? I can inoculate a jar with a tiny sliver of myc?

Ya basically if you use proper sterile technique and your syringe aint dirty you should be good but always want 2 to 3 transfers to ensure cleanliness ... look up agar agar sticks they are always cheaper they're 20 grams for 1.30

Found 15g from seaweed solutions for 6.50. Think that sounds like a great deal and it's pay day. May order this evening. I add instant potato flakes to it? Like loterally Idaho spuds?

Found this very simple tek on here using water and BRF. That's it.
https://www.shroomery.org/8514/Agar-substitute
Do yourself a favour and just order it online man. Even just a pack of 50gs powdered will last you a while. I couldnt find it cheap and will have to keep an eye out but after working with it for a short time I have decided that clean spawn is priceless. I couldnt imagine switching to this poverty tek after working with agar. You could have mold and bacteria growing anywhere under the top layer of "clean" myc and you wouldnt even know.
This tek does have me thinking though... Would it not have the same effect to just make a batch of jello and, before letting it harden in the frige, spoon a few tbs of jello in some pasty plates and pc?

Hello shroomery family! I have a quick question. I knocked up 11 jars 30 days or so ago. They kinda stalled growth and started speeding up last week when i kept my tote cracked open instead of shut up tight. My question is the first cake is 100% today but it looks like all my cakes will be fully colonized at different times the next 8 days or so at the rate its going now will it be ok to dunk and roll each cake one by one once they are done with the 7 days consolidation? or should I wait till I get a few 100%?? if i do that the first cake might be almost two weeks into consolidating. What would the best thing to do be? All the cakes look great they are just going a bit slow they are BRF cakes that are B+ strain.

Best thing would be to let them consolidate for 2 weeks or until yoy see signs of pinning. But there really is no problem at all with fruiting individually at different times. Rarely will your cakes all finish at the same time.
I personally like to wait for each jar to show signs of pinning before I birth but a weeks consolidation will do just fine as well.

Anybody ever have fluffy centers of their myc like this? I feel like it's because my chunks are bigger than normal due to pouring my plates thicker, but want to make sure.

Yep. That's just the myc growing through and out of the piece you transferred.

Thank you for the response! Ok also would it be a good idea after its 100% consolidated to take it out and put it out in the open on a table so it gets some in direct light from the sun shining in my house or should I just keep it in the dark untill I put it in my sgfc? I have looked up that question and have found mixed responses.

Hmm Im not quite sure what your asking but sunlight is always good no matter what you're doing. I hope youre not colonizing those jars in the dark!

Do you have to sterilize your qtips before swabbing? Seems like overkill considering youre swabbing a dirty mushroom anyway. One more question. Is this the only way to obtain PE spores? Or can you make prints somehow?
