Just my 2 cents but that looks like trich to me. I only say that because it looks a lot like my tubs that shit the bed regularly.

I bookmarked the way you add agar to LC. Havnt done LC before but want to do as much research about it first as possible. Sounds interesting!

Has anyone used silicone with plastic lids to attach them ? I used normal silicone, wich contrary to popular believe can hold up in a PC no problem for me, and it kinda peeled off. Is rtv better for this ?

Normal silicone (100% silicone caulk) is RTV silicone. One and the same.
Silicone won't stick to plastic for shit unless you rough it up with sandpaper.

Yea it doesn't stick very reliably even with roughing. Silicone and plastic are not good friends.
You probably need to rough it up way more than you did. That texture is the only thing it can grab.

Dude,I roughed it up with with sp and the cross hatched with a scalpel. I am at my wits end. But I think my stickers actually don't need it. I am gonna plug em since I think they are really good. I got them from AliExpress, only ones they sell there.

I've had success using a dremmel with a sanding drum at really high speed to sorta melt/swirl the plastic into a really gnarly texture for silicone to grab.

I learned about roughing up the lids the hard way, when I had made 15 lcs and the second time I went to use them the ship popped off when I took the needle out.

Good idea. I will try that. After seeing that fucking nuclear weapon (PC) you built, i will listen to you with all stuff technical 
Although it is a shame to fuck up those beautiful looking plastic lids. One or the reasons I got them in the first place is because they look slick.
I feel like the sticker vs polyfil debate is kinda like digital vs analogue. Sticker seems slicker and nicer, but can fail on you without realizing. Polyfill is kinda unfailable as long as it's there.

I love polyfil lids, even shoot thru it when I did jars and syringes. Remove foil and the poly is nice and clean for a needle to go thru.
Polyfil is how I would do it if I did jars still.

I would love for someone to do an experiment on how loose polyfil can be. I am really anal about getting it tight (that sounds terrible). I used to jam the polyfil in with a screw driver, but I am sure thats really over kill. I wonder if you can get away with having it pretty loose.

I have developed a technique. Buy polyfil in sheet form. Tear of a square. Fold it in half two times Wich makes a smaller square. Than take the 4 corners of the square and twist. You can then pull it through and it makes this wonderfulreally tight ball on top of your lid. I really fucking hate sloppy polyfil lids. Makes me nervous.

Hot glue sticks to plastic very well. not sure how it holds up in a PC.

Dude. I am about 101% hot glue is gonna give you a real bad time in the PC. I mean thats the essence of hot glue. The fact that it melts when it gets hot.

A question or two about substrate depth in a shoebox grow . How thick is optimal? I go with rye spawn mixed 1:4 into an inch and a half or so of pasteurized h-poo with a thin casing layer I would like to know other growers preference and how you believe substrate depth affects your grow and how/why it affects the overall yield quality or potency of the fruits , number and size and or number of flushes ?

Doctor Mario is serious about his shit being 3”. He’s like a legit scientist or some shit. I’d wait for him to chime in, don’t think I’ve ever seen a subpar grow from him, always killer flushes.
For me I play fast and loose, so I can’t give anyone real advice or info
