Hello, all. I'm new here, just started my first grow (if you can even call it that, at this point) over the weekend, and I've already managed to facepalm four times, but I'm excited to see where this goes.
I'm blown away by the amount of info here. I've read for hours and barely scraped the surface. I'm mostly following along with Bod's teks, as "easy AF" sounds appealing when everything is brand new.
I built a SAB, made a few separate batches of agar (three with BRF and one with water from boiling whole oats), and poured and inoculated some plates. No growth yet, but it has only been a little over two days.
I plan to transfer a few times to isolate then a2g, though I might inoculate a few jars directly once I see some growth on agar, since I'm impatient. I'm currently planning to do a couple of shoeboxes, but I've nearly talked myself into a full monotub.
Nobody wants all text and no pics, so here are a few:
I didn't have a coffee can for my first agar pour, so tried to get by with a can of crushed tomatoes. Needless to say, I went to the grocery store to get a coffee can the next day, and here's the evidence of that mod:

In this one, I'm impatiently waiting for agar to cool in my sous vide tub:

I saw there is a Discord server, so I'll join in there, as well. I look forward to being a part of your community.

I initially read your name as "catntrips7" .....needless to say, I am disappointed, but I won't hold it against you.

'cat of 9 tails' is sometime abbreviated as catntrips9, it is pretty common

Thanks, all, and the facepalms were:
1. making the first set of holes on the SAB way too small 2. bleeding off the pressure after the cook time, making the first batch of agar boil over 3 & 4. using the full 25g packet of agar powder in 400ml agar (twice, since I boiled it over the first time and didn't realize how thick it was)
Now I know to let the heat and pressure dissipate naturally and to only use 8g agar powder in 400ml agar.
