I agree but it was expected with this method I used and I am putting my trust in it for now.

They didn't turn out too bad. There was a lot on condensation at first. I'm good with the moisture content.

I have used foo’s tech before worked great for me too. I just transitioned to pre rinse>boil>steam dry. Everyone has there own personal preferences. Looks much better now that the moisture has been distributed.

I'm curious are you using PDA for your agar? If so what's your recipe per jar?

Ok I'm just curious cause I'm having difficulty getting rhizo growth on my plates. It will some in the grain jars but it's nothing but slow growing fuzz on my plates. So I'm curious if my 1.17g pda to 30ml water recipe isn't nutritious enough. Thinking of using 1.5g and a drop of corn syrup with 30ml water to give it a boost.

I'm no expert but I think your agar is too nutritious. The theory is that mycelium will not stretch out as much in search for food if the agar is too nutritious.
If I were in your shoes I would drop the PDA to 0.6 grams / 30 ml water.
Why don't you try a test run of both dooses? I would love to see what actually works.

Yeah I suppose I could try both. The recipe on the bottle says 39g for 1,000ml water so I scaled it down for 30ml water which is 1.17g pda. Of course it could just be the genetics I'm working with too.

True.
This was the jar that was pretty wet a few days ago.

This is one of the agar to agar from a few days ago as well. Small white spot on the left is more mycelium because I had to drag the mycelium to center it.

I have to find a better way to transfer the agar instead of using a scalpel because it gets stuck on the end of the scapple or it doesn't fall on the right place in the agar. Maybe tweezers?

Mine gets some rhizos in jars but none on a dish like that. And I have 6 different varieties on agar. 5 are wispy fuzzy tomentose mycelium the 6th hasn't germinated just yet.

To get rhizo on a plate use less nutes and pour the plates thinner.

Best way to do transfers is to 180 your scalpel when you put it into the new dish. Just put it upside down and dip it into the agar.

Picking it up with the blunt end?

nono, you pick it up with the pointy end. But when you put id town, you go with the blunt end towards the agar.

If I follow you correctly, you're basically saying like a wiping motion. If so, it won't work because I am using jars and not a flat petri dish.

Myc has grown into your coir. You might want to use more foil next time.
Otherwise, good job!
