Looks great.
Get the dehydrator ready.
It wouldn't hurt anything to cut a dozen and make tea right now if you're anxious.:mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow:

I actually have 5 PDA Petri dishes I plan on cloning with. Just not really sure on the process yet but I’ll read up on it a little.

Ha.:bringiton:
Basically from stem to cap, rip it open, cut a chunk out of middle as sterile as possible, put in dish quick and clean, transfer away from biopsy when you get good growth.

From what I’ve read so far, Petri dishes contaminate very easily. I will have to take my time and make sure I clean extremely well during transfer. I’m already wanting to get more spawn for my next run but not sure what I want to grow next. These are B+

Untrue, but the best part about agar is that you can just transfer away from contam into new plates.  It’s forgiving. 

Read my journal.  See franks clone tek.

Are PE’s harder to grow or worth the extra time to grow?

Always best to sample the strength of the fruits you're going to clone and run, as you can end up growing a lot of nice looking but weak fruits otherwise

Congrats they look great! I’m on my first grow aswell but I went for brf cakes. Yours looks nice and tidy.

Sorry to ask in your thread but 2 of my cakes look like they are going to tip over because of the pins and little mushrooms growing from the bottom.  Should I do anything with them?



Lol.  :scumbagman: Nah don't mess with them, this is common. Unless you're sure they're going to fall over. They're fruiting there because the conditions are best where they are. You can flip them if need be, but I would avoid it, personally.

Use the search function. Yeah often harder. Worth it? Some seem to think so. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner.

I think when people think agar contams easy, what they mean is that you can spot them easily.  Jars also contam just about every time you shoot them with spores, but you can’t always see it unless it’s a massive contam.

Yeah, definitely. That's the whole point really. Contaminants are everywhere, agar is just a place where they can grow and you can limit that growth to a flat plane rather than a complex surface. With the added benefit of being able to easily transfer your desirable organism away from the undesirables.

Of 100 plates, I’ve seen only a few contams, and they all almost assuredly came from a syringe or swab.  I’d rather trash a plate than a jar, and I always replace the plate with a fresh transfer.

When using agar Petri dishes, after I put the tissue on the agar, do I need to seal around the edges of the dish with anything?

Looks good, nice work :thumbup::mushroom2:

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but if you build another mono, don't worry about painting the bottom black. (I did the exact same thing with my first mono.) I'm guessing you did that to prevent side pinning, but that's caused by microclimates (gaps, air pockets, etc.) on the sides as opposed to light reaching the sub. So there's some time you can save in the future if you move up a size. I've had good luck with tub liners keeping side pins away, but there are a lot of TCs and other growers who don't bother and have great success anyway.

Glad wrap cut 1  inch wide is easier to get than parafilm but yeah, wrap around the edge at least 1-1/2 x around.

:goodluck:
