Pour vs no pour agar?
    #26478032 - 02/10/20 06:53 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

What's best?

Seen lots of teks for no pour but no recent ones for a pour tek?

Is pouring outdated now or what?

Pouring polystyrene petris in a flowhood is clearly the better method. No pours will always have some kind of condensation and less visibility. Does that matter to you? It might not be a big deal to you but it is at least marginally better to be able to get a crystal clear look at the mycelium without having to open a lid. The point of agar is a 2d growing surface that you can visually select growth from. You might open a no pour and the mycelium suddenly doesn't quite look like you thought it did from the outside. It could be an annoyance.

I'm learning both have a place!

Start a lot of no-poors and transfer into Petri dishes for the "final"-ists!

No-pour can be completely clear glass, with no condensation.

Is pouring your own plates more likely to contam or something? I only have a SAB not a flowhood.

To me it sounds easier to pour than pc'ing plates in a jar/tin and then waiting for condensation to disapear?

You can pour plates fine in SAB. No pours are harder to fuck up, but most people end up pouring their plated after doing this hobby long enough.

Idk, I like the simplicity of my pasty plates. I sterilize a couple dozen and, whenever I need some I KNOW for a fact they’re sterile and ready to go. I feel like I’d fuck up at least 1 in 10/20 plates when pouring.
Visibility isn’t a problem cause they’re clear, and I don’t get condensation anymore, but I gotta admit - prepping them is tedious.

If I had a FH I’d definitely switch to petris though.

i used to think just like that until i tried pouring in the sab. easy as fuck.

like fisher price easy. ive only botched a small handful of plates and they were obviously from being sloopy.

give it a go mang

I pour plates, first time was a little sketchy, but no contams.
Second time was smooth.

Still battling condensation, but that would likely be an issue for me with no pour too.

Yea equipment makes a big difference. Personally I was never able to successfully pour plates in a SAB so I made no pours back then. I hear some of you guys are pouring plates in SAB no problem though. IMO you are way better off making no pours if you just have a SAB and are trying to keep it simple.

I think my problem with pouring in a box was just the room having too much airflow because of central air.

Well, you can shut that off, wait 10-15 minutes, perform SAB work, and turn it back on again.
