I confess I tried to get ape spores, from Nate, to germ on agar with no success. So I tried again last week but instead of just rubbing my inoculating loop on the swab I pulled a piece of the cotton swab off and streaked the plate with that, and to my surprise they germinated and are taking the plate over. The big problem I have is trying to find enough time to transfer some mycelium to a new plate. But I'm so happy that I got them to germinate, and thank you much mushroomnate.

This is what I always recommend people to do with my swabs! I use tweezers tho. I wrap like 8 pairs of tweezers in foil separately and put them in a jar for sterilization in the PC. Then I always have a sterile pair on hand when ever I need one :super: I feel like it cuts down on contams sooo much with swabs!

I keep meaning to write up a tek for this but then I always forget :facepalm3:

I just soaked my tweezers in alcohol for 10min then flame sterilize, after they dry off a bit. Iv got some yeast and bacteria on the plates but that's the way all my germ plates usually end up. Iv just had a big hard on for some ape and it feels so good to see it starting, now I need to make the day a few hours longer or I need to tell my boss that I need to work less lol.

I just saw this technique, but for Agar->Grain/Sub. This dude just has a fucking jar full of them (at 9:54)


I'm probably going to start doing this, but likely in a few jars with a few tweezers in each.

Hold it steady with one hand in a standard vertical orientation. Smack it on the bottom with your other hand. It should slllllliiiiiide down the side into the grain eventually. Don't smack the jar into things, smack the jar with things while the jar stays as stationary as possible. :thumbup:

Thats a good one! lol
I cant even imagine what kinda work could be done in a dresser drawer. Now you have to make that shit work just to say you did it.

I had a sigh of relief when I checked on things this morning, my beer agar seems to be working, one or 2 more days and I'll know for sure. Myc is beginning to jump off for sure. I was really worried I might not have cooked out the alcohol very good, or at all, and that would be a problem.
Tried all sorts of different recipes with and without food color too. I think it's time to pitch the food color, it was cool for a little bit but its just impractical. The closer I can get straight up CLEAR dishes the better.
Might just use beer agar from now on because it seems to work and the plates are sexy bitchez.

I confess when I first saw the post I thought ok this will be bad ass and no one had thought of it before .. I thought he took a dresser and took the drawers out .. cut 2 arm holes into the back cut the top off .. then sealed with bisqueen however it's spelled that heavy duty plastic .. if you made some shelves that's how you could make a sab for bags and whatever else .. you could make shelves at different levels make doors for multiple levels of arm holes for different work that day .. you would be standing and hunched over though..


But that is what went through my head when I saw the I made a sab out of a dresser haha.. anyway I hope someone makes a box as I've described

I confess, I did a bunch of agar work last night and when i finished up I managed to knock over the lamp while turning it off and it fell onto the table where all the plates I had just transferred were sitting, only one was cracked but a couple  of them ended up on the floor with the wedges knocked to the lid or side of the plate. :facepalm:

On the really stubborn wedges that won't budge you can lay your jar on its side until you get leap off.
