I think figured put why the edges of the agar in my no-pour plates were contamming. I'd been positioning them upside down in the SAB after loosening the lid, and also working with them upside down, thinking "yay this is great, the agar is safe from germmies!". Sadly no. The condensation had run down the insides, into the lid rim and then dragging contams with it back down to the agar once they were upright. I only realised this since using brightly coloured agar. Gotta keep them upright the whole time I guess!

I think so too. This tub was 1 part spawn to 4 parts sub from a T1 plate.

I did a Josex poke four days ago and now I have all these tiny clusters of growth. Seems too soon to be the culture I want and not the culture that is green. Hard to see in the pics but there’s some myc floating. Does this seem too soon to be mush to you?

Years ago when I was first learning I walked into the kitchen to see my "teacher" who had found an old pressure cooker heating it up. I asked why it had duct tape on the side of it?? "Well it has a crack, I don't want it to leak"  :house:

This makes me wish they made you take a test of basic knowledge on how a pc functions before selling you one.


Either that or he had some bomb tape.

As long as he taped the inside, I am sure that it will be fine.

Learning to pour agar, did the best ten plates I'd poured up to that point, took my hands carefully out of the sab and the whole stack fell over.
I regained my composure and poured another 20 perfect plates.

I'm such a fucking noob!
I wondered why my LC Josex poke was growing so fast after only four days and then I took a look at the other work I did that same day and looky looky:




I only then remembered the mold sporulating plate I opened in my SAB FIRST! Spores must have been everywhere. I just hope they weren't still present the next day when I knocked up my grain in there.
Note to self- don't open mold plates in the box. If you must, wait until the end.

Tuition. I had to pay to learn that one.

4 broths and a syringe just out the PC headed to the house from the shop and it just slipped out like a fucking ghost smacked it out my hands!

I did something similar once. I had received a slant in a trade and didn’t realize it was full of mold until I discovered every transfer I made after than was full of aspergillus or some shit.

Somehow this makes me feel a little better. Thanks Pasty:thumbup:

Now if I can keep it to this once, I'll be happy, but I doubt that.

I procrastinated firing up the sous vide and got impatient to move the hot agar out of the PC to use it for other things. Cold water and hot media bottles don't mix.

I broke a media bottle the same way. It didn't shatter like that but I heard a deep clunking noise. Looked over and there was a thin line running up the bottle. You could hear the air escaping from the bottle and I thought to myself, "Yep. Thats about to be contaminated." I need to buy a few more of those.

I had the same clunking noise. It started with just a few cracks, agar leaking into the water, then the bottom fell out.

So fucking pissed

Had a frozen 5lb bag of vendor casing I put in my bath to defrost... was going fine. I come back an hour later and the inside of the bag is fucking soup.

First time doing agar my dumbass also put the sterilized jar in ice water to cool. Lift it up the bottom of the jar is gone.

Both these stories are just prime examples of why patience is key in this hobby

I had ordered the casing a while ago and knew I wouldn't use it soon so I froze it to preserve it

With the agar... who the fuck knows. Absolutely idiotic lol. I wanted it to cool faster. Impatience does not do one good
