damn, those aren't knots? This is why I'm hesitant to tell people what's up with their pictures. I looked at it again.... and again, and it really looks like knots. 5 days is quick though. It could be pinning early to try and survive what could be lurking in the uncolonized portions. But, now that i know how young it is, it's possible that those are just chunks of coir that didn't get broken up. Myc takes a while to eat through chunks of unbroken coir.

It looks a lot like knots in the picture that for but I think it’s just continuing to colonize as normal. This is where it usually goes all haywire for me though. I usually end up with 1-2 really big fruits and tons of fruits to tiny to harvest.

Just imagine that your hands have a pile of baby powder on them (tools too) and your trying to do each step without spilling any of the baby powder into your work.
You could actually practice this way if you wanted!

It’s just really hard to see what I’m doing inside my still air box. And I have trouble getting the transfers off my tools.

Put a light on top of your SAB. It takes a feel to get the poke right for picking up a wedge and being able to stick the landing.

What's ur agar recipe? Is it kinda soft like jello? Stiffer agar doesn't stick like that.

That’s some really good advice! I’m gonna try start thinking of my SAB work like that.

I'm using less and less agar every day I'm at 12g per liter and it holds firm. Going to do 10g per liter next

 I received my Petri dishes last night so I will be pouring this evening. Gonna stiffen it up with 10g agar and 1 3/4 cups water instead of 7.5 grams agar. Do y’all think any of these fruits are worthy of a fresh inside tissue clone? Not much for clusters maybe a few but it was grown on a bulk sub and then cased and only fruited like a cake because the tub it was in sucked. So in theory it’s fruiting conditions are one step closer to the main goal?

How do u make ur agar? U could just put 10g agar 10g nutes in a mason jar and fill it to the 500ml line and pc it. Agar is supposed to make up around 2% of the total liquid, so it's easier to calculate recipes if u use ml as a measurement.

I have just been using a mason jar in the pc and the pouring in a sab. I use straight grain soak water and agar.

Just poured 20 fresh plates!! Gonna take about ten transfers to try and get something clean. That will leave me with 30 plates. I hope that’s enough as I’m purchasing a food trailer and so I’m gonna be on the broke side for a while. That’s ok though I own my land and house and now I will own my own business. Plus one kick ass hobby!!!!! Anyways im gonna do my best to make my supply’s last for now but I will purchase the necessities for sure.

Did my transfers. I think I got it right and will have plenty of good plates on these transfers.😎 they went much smoother then previous attempts. Will post pics later if my earlier transfers. They may have some good spots but not like the recent.

right on man! you'll have an easier time pouring agar if you switch from a mason jar to a long neck whiskey bottle. It makes pouring way smoother. I use a captain morgan handle but any glass liquor bottle with a neck will be superior to a mason jar.
