I ordered an Etekcity Laser Thermometer 749 and it can even be delivered to PR! The instructions on this pack of MEA...really?? $11 56g to one L!

I'll be going with "I use 3.5-5g of agar, and 6.5g of powdered LME to 500ml of water." Sagari but with potato and some green!

I'm 2000+ miles away from all my stuff and so just going to assume my plates are exploding with clean myc. And the shoebox sitting on my shelf is starting to pin for its second flush (but not too quickly, since I won't be home for 5 more days). And the 8 jars and 3 bags and 12 Muda bottles I knocked up in the 72 hours before leaving are going strong, and the 4 other bottles that were just starting their first flush when I left will grow giants that don't spore too too much before I return. And the 3 LCs in progress are progressing nicely but not turning into matted disasters...

Nothing to report really. 4 plates look bacterial, the other two haven't done anything yet. If Ive got time this morning I'll make some fresh plates and knock up a bunch more.

I legitimately LOL'ed at this. I have always had terrible handwriting. Only F I ever got was handwriting in like 3rd grade. I figured out years ago thought that if I write everything in cursive it hides my sloppiness. You are the second person on here to tell me my handwriting is good so I guess my plan is working. Haha
And thank you for the well wishes, I appreciate it. I'm giving it until Friday to improve or I'm gonna bite the bullet and have the surgery.

What kind of torch are you using? I use a propane torch and really don't get any soot.

Even a refillable jet lighter will do. That's all I use. You can find em at the dollar store or spend a couple bucks on a half decent one and refill canister.

That's odd. I thought maybe just dirty fuel but we're using the same. The only other things I can think of would be the type of blade or procedure. I have used Xacto blades and stainless scalpel blades. Xacto got a bit of soot but only after a few burns or if I just burned the shit out of them. So far no soot from scalpel blades, but only just started using them. I swish my blades in iso before each burn. Maybe this is preventing bits of agar from burning to blade and making soot. Not saying you should do that, just trying to find the variable that is causing your issue.

Can you write up the lc dog hair tek please so inquiring minds can replicate this masterpiece? Does the dog hair provide nutrients for the lc or is it simply aesthetic?

I don't think either. It's more of a structural scaffold.

I am just putting a drop of the spore syringe solution on the agar and swishing it around a bit to spread it around (with the plate lid closed). This has worked really well for me over the last few months since I started and I have been able to get several good plates by transferring a piece of the desired growth onto fresh plates. My P. Cyan. is doing fabulous using this technique and I have since figured out a much more sterile technique for working with agar and have had even better results.

The course hairs cut up the mycelium with a slight swirl of the jar.
