Lower the nutes in your agar and start more Ms.

I confess I don't go in the "getting started" thread often because I see the dumbest people posting there. SO many of the post asking a question but wont accept the answers because its not what they want to hear.

This has been my struggle for a while now. I hate that shit. I recently made a couple transfers from a plate like that useing an inoculation loop to snag a bit of mycelium. Will see if that helps.

That's strange haven't had that happen yet.

I flame my entire xacto knife handle. Like the entire thing.
I'll take a picture in a sec if I remember. Once I started doing it my bacteria problems disappeared on agar.

i opened a brand new sterile disposable scalpel for that session that gave me the shit show.

it was almost the 'cleanest' attempt ive done. new blade, fresh plates, i even did a weekly wipe down
of the sab with iso and lysol wipes just to clean up slopped grains and shit.

i feel like i isolated mold/bacteria with the transfers. oh well.:shrug:

all you can do is make more shit and try again:omgawesome:

Confession: I should be more willing to go back to spore when it comes to cubes. I have soo many damn spores you just made me realize how much time I spend trying to clean cultures

I do just the opposite, everything sketchy gets tossed, provided I have a clean(er) culture of the same "strain" going alongside it. That's why 90% of the time, I make 2-5 plates every time I actually only need 1. Contams on agar tend to scare me. I'd rather go around :p

True confession I will probably be roasted for; I leave my PCs on while I nap, and sometimes I head out into town for a half hour or so while they're on. :rolleyes:

Grrrrr.. I'm really starting to hate my PC right about now...

Father, I have sinned.

What is it that is on your mind today, my son?

I angle-grinded my trivet legs off so I could fit more PP's in my PC, after that I filled it with more PP's than it actually had room for, and then I ran it dry in just over an hour at pressure, leading to warped upper PP's, a plastic covered trivet, some rims of what used to be the lower PP's, and a PC bottom with a plastigrain mix.

FUCK. THIS. SHIT.
I need me a new, decent PC, that won't run dry like an Ethiopian.

anybody have any advice on cleaning out molten PP out of a PC? Sticks like a M*****F*****... Like a hybrid between candle wax and super glue
