It depends on what you want to do. If you're just wanting an oz here and there try PF tek. But agar is necessary for growing bulk reliably. It's intimidating at first but honestly not hard once muscle memory develops.



yeah, PF tek isn't for me. I'm in too deep to give up already (not that I want to anyways), so I need to learn this agar stuff. I just have to find a simpler way to do it. I'm a very busy person, but I'm willing to dedicate time and energy into this. But some of the agar teks ive glanced at today just seem like they require obscure materials etc. i need something simple, ideal, effective. after this round of jars (i have quite a bit growing), I plan to switch to using agar.

If it smells. It's irrelevant what it looks like. It's contaminated

It's the same as putting spores to grains, only the jars are much smaller and they have agar in them instead. Other than the pouring part, it's the same process you already did more or less. The difference is once you get a clean culture, you can expand reliably with much higher rate of success much faster. Spores to grain will have a wildly higher failure rate trying to get to 12 jars versus agar, so while it's additional work in the beginning, it makes the back end way faster.

If you get one reliable culture preserved and expanded correctly you can produce a shoebox sized flush every week in a very very small footprint. That's a real nightmare without a clean culture though, and that path is through agar.

Some people have success buying prepoured plates, some of the sponsors of the forum sell them. That way you jump right to innoculating and transferring without all the pouring and cooking.
