Any condensation is gone after 20 minutes of cooling in front of the hood. Mine either go back in the original sleeve or 20 in a gallon ziplock

How long have you had those?

I don’t wrap them until I use them.  I just keep them in a gallon ziplock on the bench...you can fit 20+ no prob.  They keep for quite some time this way and never contaminate....just pull them out as needed.  And yep, I wait until they’re cool before putting them in the ziplock.

That’s one thing I loved about trading and receiving new prints. More agar work to do and lots of variety to choose from. Kinda slowed down on the trades recently though.

@Vibe- If you need some prints to work with I got some laying around you can have. Pm me and we can talk more.

Sweet. I appreciate it man and I'm more than sure I will take you up on that offer brother! Right now I'm okay though, I've got a few different varieties of syringes and prints.. I don't want to get myself too overwhelmed just yet I will for sure let you know when I want to work with some more lol. I'm just starting to get my feet wet here. I did cakes.. bad experience. So I count this as my first real grow haha.

Having a rotation certainly helps with antsy pants... always fruit to look at, can ignore my jars and colonizing subs lol

Right?? I can't stop peeping
But, it's all in love lol. Mhhh when you guys take a transfer from the first plate and put it to a second plate.. do you guys keep the master plate and just see how it grows out if there wasn't any signs of bacteria when making the transfer from it?

Caps McGee said:

Yes... I even refrigerate clean donors of plates that go to grain in the event I get a culture that performs particularly well, I'll have the parent plate to go back to (applies to clones more than MS though)

I have a difficult time on small doses... 7g teas, 3-4 days apart is how I do my bioassays... of course, this is only feasible once all candidates have been grown side by side for comparisons in colonozation speed, time to harvest, phenotype, and yeild... if testing each fruit prior to running them, weigh the smallest fruit, and use that as your comparison dose: still a minimum of 3-4 days between doses for accurate comparison

Spores can take upto 6 weeks to germinate, though 3-5 days is typical IME... patience dude, day 4... I'd be concerned with no signs after 3 weeks

I've poured some plates for other work and have three I'll set aside for the RW spores.  Do you hydrate prior to plating?  I have a stack of sterile swabs from my supply bank:)...Best to just swipe spore and streak plate?  I don't want to fuck up the RW!  I've done MS and clones, not spores...just checking in.
