I have 2qt jars I'd like to throw into a shoebox here soon inoculated on LC that was tested on agar prior.
Good or bad? The first four pics are jar one and the last four pics are jar two

Bacterial, but if you wait for them to finish up they will get you something in a shoebox. I’ve spawned worse.

Mmmmm damn lol - I'll probably spawn them anyway but how does it typically get bacterial?

Either the LC wasn't as clean as you think, the grains were improperly sterilized, or your sterile technique needs work.

That's the way she goes, boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't, cause that's the fuckin way she goes.

I think Im going to just start using Agar to grains to remove that step entirely and then do some G2G transfers.
I PC for 1hr 45mins on 15psi

Agar is definitely the right plan. I'm not sure what the current thoughts on G2G are, but it can be tricky, even when you have clean spawn.
Do you vent your PC first? Folks here lead me to venting and it really did help.

I’ve tried LC twice. One made by myself and one made by a friend - both went green in 4-5 days whereas with agar transfers everything goes lovely every single time.
You need to be a wizard to get LC working correctly in my experience!

Yes I have the rocker off and let it steam out for at least a solid 5 minutes before putting the rocker back on

Let it vent for at least 10 minutes, preferably 15.
I also go a full 2 hours on grain jars, but I'm a little anal. I figure the extra 1/2 hour is worth it.
I'm guessing you both made your LC by shooting spores into LC broth and that's probably why it all went green fast. Only good way to make LC is to grow on agar till you sure you have clean culture then make the LC from that.

You don't need to be a wizard to make LC. You DO need to be good with agar and cleaning up cultures though. You can't make good LC from spores or bad cultures.
Once you get good at getting clean cultures on agar you can use this TEK to reliably get good LC. LC still needs to be tested once finished but has worked well for me.
