Just to show you. These were bagged up a couple hours ago and will remain there overnight and well into tomorrow. Unsealed and not in the fridge. I'll load them up and cook them whenever I get around to it tomorrow. They'll be fine

That is a beautiful sight verum!  Very pleasing to look at.

Definitely listen to verum over ANYTHING I said. :smile: And rock on man!

Awesome looking bags verum, a real pro. Is that wbs? Here is a pic of one of my jars today, all grains were dried aprox an hour, they were dry to the touch and no moisture on paper towel when left on for 20 seconds. How's it looking?



What I found pretty interestingly hard about the process was the fact that the agar wedges love to stick to the glass. Pretty annoying as I would have liked them to be in the center, covered by some grain. On one jar I had to tilt the grains onto the side to have contact with the two wedges that were stuck on the glass.  :cockafuck:

Your grain looks sexy as midget tits.

Agar can stick to the glass, for sure. It's a super duper boner buster until you figure out how to roll. When i put agar to grain jars, I do as many as i've got without bothering about the placement of the agar. Once all jars are impregnated and covered (re lidded), i do a gently cart wheel with each jar. I say gentle because if the agar hits the wall with much force, it gets emotionally involved and doesn't like to let go.

A few tries and you'll figure it out. Gentle cart wheel and when i'm 3/4 of the way through the flip, i give her a little wiggle as i finish the rotation.

If you don't have a smasher yet, you'll want to get that figured out. I( smash on a big ass wad of cardboard but people use tires or basketballs or..... whatever. If the wedge sticks to the wall, several powerful slams down on the smasher will almost always slurp the agar down the wall and get it under the grain.

Damn verum, that roll tek really helped out! I got the slow rhythm of the roll at the end after a couple of jars. Wedges generally all covered by rye. I guess it's in the simple things that experience really matters too. Cheers verum!

Cheers. Yeah, It's all the little things you pick up after years of doing thousands of jars..... OR when someone kind comes along and drops a little cheat on you, saving you years and thousands of jars.

:douchewink:

Glad it made sense for ya.

Gonna try this roll tomorrow. The first time I dropped agar half of it got fused to the glass above the seeds and I ended up just leaving the jar on its side.

I’ve only done two and the second one I dropped them in the middle then tilted the jar just a tiny bit and slapped the side so the seeds jump and it worked ok but still not great.

If you roll properly and it still sticks, I'd say you are probably making your agar a little soft. Slightly increasing the agar ratio could help. But probably, you just need a little practice rolling.

If this is your absolute first time grow - I'd like to extend a big high five.

You have LOTS of plates, when you start thinking about taking samples off of those plates you start to get pretty intense with things.

I'd say once you have a nice clean cut of each plate you want to keep, go two to agar and one plate to grain. (3 plates of each)

Comeback graced me with that idea and it's kept my grows flowing well. You always have something to do, always have something to put to grain, you never have to really be idle if you don't want to be.

Your plate pictures are very hard to see - I would also say the pieces of tissue grabbed are sort of big - but nothing too out of the ordinary. I'd try to go a little bit smaller though if I were you.

But I'm looking into seeing the rest of this one! I've got a few tubs I've had going for a few days, getting antsy and feeling the pressure just like many do!


:cheers: and good luck!

Damn, already used most of the good plates. That's an excellent strategy to be adopted morty, wish I had seen it sooner.. Thank you guys for these tips, they are really efficient and practical!

Hey guys, small update. Here are two of my jars. One of them is quart size, the other is 1/2 quart. My pc fits 2 quart size jars or 8 1/2 quart jars, so opted to get more of those. I'm just worried about moisture content. I don't really see any condensation in most jars, is that a problem? I can't remember where I read it but it was from a TC and they said there should be some visible moisture in the jar, especially when myc is colonizing.  :shrug:  So I opted for 1/2 an agar dish split into 3 per 1/2 quart jar.



To be honest, they looker drier than that irl. 

Cheers!

That jar imho looks perfect. 👌
Personally that is exactly how i like them to look.

Idk oats but looks like the myc loves it.

Good job man.

Condensation in the jar has a lot to do with how warm the room is also.

I saw that video a while back and remembered it when I started a2g and had problems with wedges sticking to glass.

It works great although I like to hit the side of the jar where the neck starts, seems to be quicker and move it more into the middle of the jar instead of only down.
