how much activated charcoal would one use for 500ml of agar?
EDIT:
I'm going to use 2g per 500ml.

2g per 500 mL is the recipe I see everywhere. I have done it, it is OK. The plates look black from above, but if you hold them up to the light you can see the coloration is not uniform. If your agar is not thick enough, like 3 mm, it may look gray in the dish.

More than 2 g probably wouldn't hurt if you want it black like outer space.

I’ve been lining shoeboxes with cut up trash bags but is there any reason why I can’t use Saran Wrap?

Been thinking about making something - potentially stupid - for my shoeboxes. It would be 4 little posts, something flat like a ruler, that would come up from the corners of the shoebox. Like on each long end near the corner. The purpose would be to raise a plastic bag up to create a fruiting chamber. Then your liner doesn’t need to be cut, you put the liner in your tub, your little posts in, then spawn to bulk. The bag can the be tied off at the top and your liner and fruiting chamber are the same item.

Am I wasting a ton of time when a mono would work probably better?

Probably. But cultivation doesn't move forward unless people try shit. Do it

The charcoal in that plate looks awfully coarse. I would either find powdered charcoal or pulverize in a coffee grinder. The finer you get it, the better it'll work.
