Patience. It should pin. What variety? My bet is genetics

Cambodian, these actually colonized pretty quickly in the jars. About 2 weeks or a little less with 1 cc lc each.


BeefSupreme, thanks for the boost. I left you a nice review too.

I'm trying to get more clear plates if anyone can point me in the right direction? I finally got the condensation taken care of, I pour at about 95-100F, only condensation on top plates, goes away after a few days in the SAB. At 2% mix, I premix in pot, bring to boil while stirring, this usually gives a consistent fluid, then I transfer to media bottles, PC for 45 mins at 15 psi, cool and pour. Could they be carmelizing during PC process? I've been thinking of doing 25~ mins and seeing what that does. I also got some different LME and Agar, but the ones I used prior are pretty standard around here. I'm not opposed to a hot plate/magnetic stirrer, I just want crystal clear plates like I've been seeing. TIA. Cheers!

I only PC agar 30 min and I also only use 1% LME 1.5% agar Also Lovibond 4 LME will make darker agar than the preferred Lovibond 2

I just slowly stir in my powder then pc.  Helps with sediment. As far as perfectly transparent, I can't help you. My plates always turn out a little opaque

using distilled water helped my plates notably

I'm going to give the distilled water a shot.  Not the original questioner but was following with interest.

I use distilled water 1.5% agar/LME and pc 20 minutes. I dont swirl the bottle after sterilization but the early plates are glass clear and the last 3 or 4 are always speckled with carmelized LME (assuming thats what it is). Dont think its possible to get them all crystal clear using LME unfortunately.

Got a question ive never seen asked. I have a clone culture going. Theres 1 small contamination on the edge. Rather than transferring the myc, I transferred out the contamination. Is this likely to save the plate? Got a bunch of other plates so its not too important just more of a test. Never heard of anyone doing that.

I've seenit done, but I'd still take it to a new plate before grain

I just got some clean syringes of Enigma and Jack Frost liquid culture. How many CC should I use for a pint of LC so I can expand this culture? Just a drop should do it no??? Also I want to do the same with Agar. Is there a easy way to get just a drop out of the syringe without using the plunger?

Little millet question update.

I did a test jar of WBS using the same method from the other jars so I could cut some grains open and see how hydrated they were. Every grain was picture perfect, hydrated all the way through.

So if the millet is properly hydrated, what would cause myc to eat it so so slowly?

Yes, one drop for the new lc is sufficient. One drop can be a lot for an agar plate. Press the plunger lightly and a drop will start to form. Catch that with an inoculation loop and streak the plate.

I wouldn't expand it directly to more lc. Put it to agar and expand it that way, use the rest of the lc on grain or cakes

It's best to avoid liquids until you get a feel for agar, how it should look, and get a few bulk grows under your belt before attempting to make your own lc, especially with untested innoculant

Ok, so forgetting LC altogether and will just worry about Agar. That does make things less stressful and ease the costs right now. I'm waiting on my PC than I can get started cooking grain and making jars. I have a beaker for pouring Agar and I have the malt and Agar Agar. I'll be using a induction burner and a thermal inferred gun to gauge temp. Should I put the contents directly into the beaker and submerge the beaker in a pot with water on the induction burner? So I don't have to transfer from a pot to a beaker than to petri?

Plin = plate pin

Regular pins grow on substrate and usually arenโ€™t sterile.

Iโ€™m a little confused by the question. If you have a PC, just load the ingredients into the vessel youโ€™ll be pouring from and PC it
