Dude, I didn't want to make you sad, I'm truly sorry. I can see how it might seem like I was having a laugh at your expense and I apologize for that. I know it's unfair as well, I've seen a lot of people wrapping plates like that and this is the first time I've said anything on here, guess you where just unlucky.

Let me try to make it good again, alright? First, it could be an underlying shame that made me take it up, see you and me are out numbered, several members think parafilm is gold covered shit and a waste of money, maybe I was just taking my insecurity out on you, my bad.

It could also be that I really want people to use parafilm the way that serves them the best. So I'll try to do that now. I know that there are single and double row parafilm, but I only use single so that is all I can help with.

First, always keep you parafilm in a thick ziplock bag so it doesn't dry out and get brittle on you.


Next thing is not to be afraid to use scissors to get the most out of your parafilm roll, it's expensive. I don't cut them in my SAB, but I use ISO on my scissors and wear gloves when I cut it and keep my cut parafilm in small Ziploc's. And when I wrap a plate I always put the covered side against the plate.

I use both 90mm and 55mm plates. For 90mm plates I use two square, like this.


I then cut it in the middle, like this.


For 55mm plates I cut 1 and 1/2 half, like this.


The two different sizes look like this.


The last important thing about parafilm is that it is made so you can stretch it, the reason that that is important is because parafilm breath quite different before and after it's stretched.

There are videos on the tube where you could see someone do it and also practice on an old or empty plate to get better, not because I want you to, but because your wallet and your mycelium inside the plate will thank you.

Seriously, I meant no ill will, please don't hate me And just so you know, it might have been below the belt, but I didn't know you had nuts, could be a vulva for all I know, so I was not aiming at your balls

Thank you my friend for this long detailed parafilm lesson.

Dont worry its more about me that i tryd many times with agar and every time i try it goes south and then someone put a little bit salt on the wound

I have only 90mm dishes and i figured out that 2 pieces of parafilm started to break for me and i am trying now with 3 pieces and it is a little bit easier for me.
I already strored some fresh clusters in the fridge for new cloning and my new plates should arrive today so i can practise again and again.


But the most important thing is that i will continue my long and rewardful journey in cultivation world with many pros and cons to come.

What did I just say? I said shipping it is different. Ship some plates in the peak of summer and the dead of winter and then come back to me with another dumbass comment

I wasnt talking to you. I was talking to the people who order plates versus making them. They wouldn't have summer heat wave melted plate problems if they stopped being lazy and made thier own.

So take youre dumbass comment and walk on fool... sup?


Keep on with your predatory biz tactics preying on vulnerable noobs and overcharging them for science jello.

You had to start shit didnt you?

You asked for this...


I'll outgrow your ass in a heartbeat
