Why do you have transpore tape wrapping your plate diametrically? Why do you have Transpore tape at all? Just axin'

Quick question, hope I'm not hijacking anything.
About to inoculate some PC'd miniround agar plates (again). I am good at that part, but I can't find a solid post saying how to store these. Do you store them on a shelf, with the poretape AND paper towel on them? ziplock bag? heh thanks guys..

just leave them on a shelf, counter, tote, anywhere and wait for the condensation to go away (if you dont like condensation on the walls)

Before Inoc: back inside the plastics sleeve the dishes came in. after inoc: inside a ziplock, inside the SAB or another clear rubermaid/sterilite tub.

I didn't want the lids coming off in the bags so i tapped them.
I feel my first try at agar was a failure, since all I've gotten is that 1 white dot, makes me want to toss the others i poured.
guess i need to order more dishes.

after inoculation you need to wrap the dishes man. so the 2 pieces stick together and the crack between them are covered. why dont you just follow the tek instead of trying to think up stuff yourself until you get some experience?

Yes it looked like a small donut with a blie dot in the middle, i tossed it.
The 4 others haven't shown any signs of life. I'm blaming it on not boiling the agar first and just popping them in the PC.

No, not with his problem. Still I'd recommend to boil at least LME Agar before putting it into whatever to PC it. It's quite important to get a clear liquid

start worrying in 2 weeks or so, dont make those weird assumptions that doesnt make any sense, it will just confuse you. spores need time to germinate. 3 days to 3 weeks depending on their age IME.
ALcapone; sediments in the agar never bothered me nor has it given me any problems. especially not with germinating spores.

you are absolutely right, it doesn't cause any problems, but sometimes it could lead to misinterpretations of plates, like seeing contamns but it's just a residue. Especially for noobs like me sometimes confusing. And sometimes when you don't boil your agar enough you'll get "hilly" agar plates, that also doesn't cause any problem but doesn't look good and makes it harde to identify differen mycelium growth speeds
