Oh team telephone for sure. I tried some pre mixed stuff early on and some agar flakes in a pinch but telephone is my weapon of choice without a doubt.

ya i used 25g to 500ml and the agar really hard, but i just checked 6 plates have signs of LIFE! (guess hard agar is ok? just took a bit longer) 
ill update tomorrow hopefully u will be able to see it, its kinda small bout the size of the tip of a pen but its there on 6 plates im in no rush to transfer until it grows out a bit
but i still have the other 12 plates i swabbed on the 6th too, should be a decent update when i get around to it! added a few more varietys
so far LGT and CREEPER are a GO!

TeaforTwo said: too hard agar is a thing? what/why? sounds undesirable, this brf agar i made with 10g telephone and 8g brf to 500ml water seems 'hard' but seeing growth
Different agar has different consistency.
 I used to use the logs in the back and I like it but you have to use a lot more agar than the recipes call for. The clear stringy stuff works ok but it has a weird waxy consistency and if you make it too hard myc won't geminate on it, at least not from these old spores. It also does this thing sometimes where it makes a hard layer on bottom and the condensation forms a water layer on top. I stopped using that stuff. The boxes are what I'm using now and it works really well. I think some brands are more suited for mush cult than others. I have some telephone brand I haven't used, one little packet is the same as one of those boxes and I've gotten way more uses from it. That's the only reason I'm not on team tele.
team tele. Love it. I almost tried some of those boxes when the Viet store I got my agar was out of telephone but wasn't sure it would work the same with added sugar. Ended up show a picture of telephone agar on my phone to one of the employees and the dug out 2 packets buried in the back so I didn't have to make the call. Found 5 packets on Amazon recently for a good price so I'm good for a while right now I think but I may give those a shot just for shits and giggles.
I used the box stuff with sugar added. It came out really soupy and I used quite a bit. I then bought telephone brand and it's perfect. Bought 6pk on eBay for great price. That's what I'm going to do for now on. I see very fine specs of myc on one of my Rusty Whyte plates. Wife and I will make transfers of TAILFEATHERS and Rusty Whyte tomorrow.
I found one tea spoon agar powder to 100ml comes out perfect otherwise it did come out soupy. With the box brand at least. I've been adding grain water from my simmer and it's great. I also do beer agar with it or oatmeal. It does well with nothing added too. I also started physically stirring it instead of microwave and swirl and my plates are much more uniform. Haven't tried using the coffee flavored box yet tho...

I have germination on my golden Halo plates and the tamp plates, maybe I'll try the tele brand for my lagm grow. What ratio agar/water do you like with it?

Updated journal, had 5 plates ready so I made 4 TC T2 transfers and one of my PE6 plates T1. So far one plate had pin mold and a second had couple snot spots but still has myc growth and more on the other 3 but I’ll let them grow out before making T1s there

I haven’t transferred shit yet either haha 
I didn’t realize how hard it is to keep up with grow logs and pictures... Props to those putting in work and documenting it, you guys make it look easy.

Some decent looking germination here I think, but now Im not sure whether to transfer already or grow it out for a few days.

I'm gonna order some actual petris. I like these pp5s for ease of use but they're not the easiest to see into (maybe I shouldn't have put the labeks on the lids!)

Hey CBK. You can pull my name off this grow because I'm way to far behind due to life circumstances right now.
I will be doing a grow along on the RustyWhyte thread when I start swiping plates next week.
But I'm really watching this thread and learning soooooo much about agar work.
Thanks for all the posts guys you are making a difference for many future generations of growers.

Check my signature if you are looking for PP5 petris 👍👍

My T2s were from plates I had before we started....I’ve got nowhere near the growth as a lot of folks. I don’t know if I’d be able to keep up with that kind of growth

Agreed with Yesum, Yogibear. I know I don't know what you got going on and by all means do what you need to do for you. Just know that there is no time limit here, and range of progress amongst us participating is quite wide. Some are on grain, some are still waiting to germinate. No worries and no rush.
