Damn bro that's a straight up Asian SUPERmarket over here we got some small Asian shops but tiny as shit with the isles way over crowded and dust covering everything on the shelves. Definitely not a pleasant experience lol. But like the previous poster said they always have my agar. I think the shop owner is a lol rascist though he charges me double what the price is marked on the shelf lol.

lol thats funny no one on the planet is more racist than asians, doesnt surprise me at all
i lived in areas without big asian stores before, and still found lots of great stuff. not all the cool shit in my pics, but there are lots of big stores like that that carry that kind of stuff in my area
even the little stores have good shit though. next time you go, make a point to dig, and see if there is any merch they dont have on the shelves. a bunch of them have commercial cooking stuff they supply to restaurants

My asian store has the sticks which i always buy but never telephone brand thats awesome but 1.30$ for 20 grams is pretty cheap so i snag about 40 sticks at a time haha ...
I just got a key of agar for 40$ off ebay tho so i think i will continue getting that it works out 27$ cheaper then those sticks plus gas and hassle haha ...

Actual truth I still have 6 box's that your talking about that are like 50% sugar. Just follow the cooking directions so no sugars are need to mix for myc to grow.

probably could, they will eat just about any sugar you throw at them
but fuck all that inconsistency/sloppiness
i like to make observations and notes comparing cultures, so the agar recipe needs to be 100% consistent

i run exactly the same every time. i switched it up a lot my first few thousand plates, but now consistency and being able to draw meaningful conclusions is my main priority
i make 1 L each run, and pour them super thin into 100-120 90mm plates
MEA: 1L h2o, 20g agar agar (telephone), 15g light malt extract
or
PDA: 1L h2o, potato infusion from 200g potatoes sliced and boiled for 20 mins and filtered, 20g agar agar

Keeping up with transfers and trying to figure out what I'm going to do with them all is troublesome for me at times. I really need to learn how to make a slant/get some sensible tubes for slants. Pretty sure if I just start sticking pasty plates in the fridge they're gonna dry out and I'll never be able to revive the culture I spent so much time and agar isolating.
I've got a feeling I'm gonna end up with more grain then I know what to do with.

I've never understood the need for 1000 dishes or even a 100 at one time unless your doing edibles farm style. I'd much rather have 10 master plates for to make 10 master Lc then expand that way. Asians are super racist in my area. you walk into there market dressed as a police officer one time and they tell you "leave round eyes" everyday

I usually make 5-10 plates at a time. My biggest problem now is I have 5 lgt x3 plates that are doing great, but idk if I should use them to knock up some LC for storage, or if I should just keep doing transfers. Got a feeling all my plates will dry out if I just store them as is.
Guess I'll be making more half pint WBS jars to test cultures again tonight.. Since the 5 plates I made last night are for 2 Aussie ms transfers and 3 for attempting to germinate some more atl7. Knew i should have made 10 plates and took 5 more lgt transfers.
Maybe I'll make some LC up tonight along with some half pint WBS jars to test these x3 lgt transfers.

you seem not to understand lots of things i do 
people usually make master slants, never heard of a "master plate"
i mean duh you could take from a plate as needed till it dries out, but that is amateur compared to making a proper slant for long term storage or refreshing plates. most people who know what they are doing keep slants of their meaningful cultures and draw from them as needed and refresh them every year or 2. you only have to take from it once to make as many mushrooms as you want, using g2g
and i guess you arent understanding that to end up with 10 "master plates" worth a damn, you would need to test hundreds-thousands of cultures and go through an assload of plates. good for you isnt necessarily the same thing as good compared to 1000 cultures
its all relative to what you are doing. 10 plates with a random culture and a "master" label on them might suit your goals just fine, but mine are much more involved. i am working with about 15 varieties of cubes, like 10 edibles, and 8 exotics, and lots of different projects with various respective goals.
sure, you dont need hundreds of plates to get a successful harvest. but some of us had our first successful harvest 15 years ago in middle school and set our sights much higher these days. like i said, its all relative to what you are trying to do and your commitment/discipline

To each his own
I do agree about the need for slants, I have been storing my cultures in 60 mm plates but its no longer practical for me to do so. Its becoming increasingly hard to organize and make room for my cultures.
I may have to graduate to slants in the near future. Although, I have used slants before and I always had a hard time getting a proper wedge from one. I'm sure it just takes practice.
