If it makes you feel any better, I definitely haven't got the hang of getting coir to stick yet either, I've usually top-fruited them instead. I'm hoping making more small cakes will give me enough practice that I finally crack it. I had a rough time doing agar transfers in my pre-pour containers too, until I used an agar punch all over on an un-inoculated plate and practiced transferring over a hundred punches to near the center of other containers. After doing that I felt a LOT more relaxed and confident doing transfers in my SAB, and it became even easier once I started pouring plates so they had shallower sides.


I got my first fruiting pictures this weekend, and I took entry pictures of birthed cakes before. I'm going to wait to choose my final entry until closer to the end, in case some of my later cakes are more photogenic (looking at you, RustyWhyte) and/or I suddenly become less crap at photography, but now I've got usable pictures in the bag. Also several Huautla prints, and probably plenty of RW and Syzygy prints soon enough.
