Regardless, your cultures look great.
I get mine to look like this 1 out of every 10 plates maybe.
Not sure why i'm still struggling with agar.
I know aesthetically pleasing plates don't really matter and i've successfully grown quite a bit as of late.
I just wish I could get my cultures to look better on plates.

I had some problems with that three pack of 500ml bottles. Ones cap didn’t fit right and let contam in and another shattered in the instant pot.
For me the best part has been the styrofoam holder they came in. Great organizer for my hood stuff.

I couldn’t tell you if my life depended on it.
Lol it’s from Meyers. There’s a little square foot sized intake that sticks out the back a few inches though.

Damn that thing is nice. Myers is all out of them right now. It's because everyone went back to growing shrooms during the pandemic

I just used a friends 2x4 that they got from Meyers and they are so so so nice. I'm jealous! I was daydreaming yesterday about selling my 2x4 plywood flow cabinet and replacing it with one from Meyers... they are just so slick. I can hardly believe you got that gifted to you AKA, you're a lucky one.

1-13-2021 The RW Plate germinated today. This is the same print that I got from D3 a few months back and the last time I put it on agar, I wanna say it was about 5 days before there was visible germination. It hasn't even been 48 hours and that kind of concerns me except I'm not seeing features of germinating mold. I guess these just really like this agar for whatever reason. all of the swabs that I buried are going bacterial. Definitely gonna be some hot pours in the near future. Oh, and goodbye post 666. You will be missed.

I know man I’m still amazed every time I see it. TRIBE
That’s definitely myc Mario. The agar mixture can make a big difference, I went through a period where I was using low nutrient hard plates and got no germination by 10 days. Then I made some with the spore plate recipe and some of the same prints went off in 2 days.

That's what I was thinking but I'm pretty sure I used the same damn recipe lol. Makes no sense. I'm pretty good at spotting mold when it's just a tiny spec. It has distinct features. I looked at that plate 24 hours ago and there wasn't shit goin on. The spores looked a little brown which was a good sign but there wasn't any noticeable myc. Picked the plate up and said WTF. That shit happened fast. I won't complain if it's gonna be a super fast culture.

What mix are you using for spore germination now AKA?
I've been using this: 8.5g agar (down from 10g to make it softer) 10g DME 1g Nutritional Yeast
Its hit or miss with spore germination, I'm still thinking it may not be soft enough, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'd definitely like to know what your germ recipe is. Although I'm trying to germinate from a syringe and not a print so I may be on my own.
With that said, I got PE to germinate on a plate finally! If it grows at the same pace as my APE I'll be taking T-1 by about February lol

For Spores I usually do something like 7.5 agar 11lme to 500ml.
That’s why a lot of my plates have big trenches in them, they’re so soft the loop shaves them like a vegetable peeler if you’re not careful.

Excellent, think I'll be pouring some softer plates in the near future!

I like mine just enough the a nichrome loop with glide across when pulled but slide into the agar when pushed. I always kinda poke the loop into the plate after streaking, kinda like breaking off a swab. If I'm pouring plate that I know will only be used for T1+, I'll use about 14 or 15g per L.
Also, Happy 420 Post to me!!!!
