Well, I inoculated my LC with lipa yai on Feb.1.
This is how far it has gotten. Actually, its been 5 days with NO other growth.
 Just the stuff by the nipple
Should I have more? What gives?

The BB tek is a great way to start getting into LC.
It will continue to grow but slower due to the lack of gas exchange and lack of nuts.
A vented malt/dex LC is far superior but is a little harder to do correctly.
Well that's my take on it

Next time you make a BB LC, put a hole at the bottom of it, or the side of it, and seal it with some of that silicon sealant you used on the nipple.
Then, when you think your LC has stalled and it needs some gas exchange, put the airport syringe in the bottom hole, and a clean syringe through the nipple. Then hopefully there is some airspace in your babybottle, so you can asperate air into your clean syringe, whilst fresh air is pulled through the airport syringe.
Cool huh?

Shake that LC well and use it, there doesnt need to be much more growth than that, when I get really heavy growth I dilute it until it looks about that ratio.....

Next step up from the BB is a twin tubing filter lid. (on a quart jar)

  

Next step up from that is a stir plate & stir bars.

I use catheter tubing.
But any small bore fuel or rubber vacuum line works. (think auto parts store & use RTV gasket sealer, to seal them in). Drill hole slightly smaller than tubing, for a snug fit.

Put 2% dme, 2% dextrose in a jar. (Water can be cold or hot) Add a few marbles Stir. Add lid (like agar posted if possible) PC at 13 psi for 15 mins. Let cool overnight, inject

So you don't filter?

Filtering seems overrated. Maybe my friend just has good Dex and DME. He made some with 4g each of Dex and DME per cup without filtering, and he even used cold water (He is using bottled water this time for good measure). He injected some old LC, and had small ammts of growth visible in 6 hrs. So, filtering and using hot water seem overrated But whatever works, and gives you that good warm fuzzy feeling  He also only PC's for about 15 mins once he reaches 13 psi (and he tries not to hit 15 to avoid potential carmelization.)
