Agar time cycle

Not at the point in the hobby of doing my own agar production, so Grandma was kind enough to buy me a number of poured plates from a vendor online. I have a fruit that I would like to clone, I was going to take specimen collections from it and place it on 5 separate plates. Is it ok to store the unused plates in the refrigerator for later use until the 5 plates I attempt to get mycelium with are ready to be transferred?

Unused and properly wrapped you can store agar plates at room temp for a long time. I just germinated spores on 11 month old plates. If you have an inoculated plate either by spore or clone material you can allow it to colonize the plate and put it in the fridge. I would recommend putting the plates in ziplock bags. They can be kept in the fridge for about 6 months before you should start thinking about transferring them although I would recommend refrigerating an already cleaned up plate.
Maybe consider putting a tissue sample to one plate and using the remaining 4 for transfers.

Sure thing, I'll take one fruit sample on one plate, wait for growth and transfer to the other plates. It sounds like both used and unused plates can go in the fridge?

None of your plates need a fridge. You are starting out. You will have used em all way before they dry out (or pin even)

Rusty brought up a good point - I would honestly put clone tissue to 1 or 2 plates and let them sit at room temp to see if they throw off a plate pin or two. If they do, just pull the pin off the plate, transfer it to a new plate and use that for your next batch

I would recommend if they arent sealed by the vendor, that you put the ones you dont use in a sealed zip-loc bag so they dont dry out and to reduce chance they contam before using. Maybe not needed but I like redundancy.

Thinking ziplock and fridge. Thanks to all for the direction, excited to get a healthy culture and sector in hopes of cloned fruits canopy style.

You got this all wrong brother. But they, it's your fridge 
(reducing sectoring, even to the point of getting a true isolate, has nothing to do with canopies. In fact, many iso won't even fruit)

just clone the best fruit in the flush by taking some inner tissue, leave it in an agar plate until you can take a few transfers, then grow it out to see how it performs. agar doesnβt need to be refrigerated unless youβre intentionally trying to slow down a culture

Turn the plates upside down put them waiting in ziplocks and store at room temperature. That's what Grandma wants me to do. Thank you for responding to all
