Update, unfortunately the seedling I carefully transferred over didn’t hold up. It was an old seed tested, but went ahead and ordered some more. As for doing any lab work in my work space there has been an ongoing heat wave that even at night it’s incredibly hot. I sweat a lot when it comes to this climate and don’t want to risk contaming my new Agar batch. Once the weather cools down I’ll be making the tutorial for Agar tek. Fortunately I have some cups left that work and I can easily transfer the MGT project being my GT isolation. Once it grows out I’ll send it to sterile water solution and get some jars inoculated during the evening. Hopefully the temps drop a bit soon that I can comfortably pour my Agar in front of the flowhood. As for inoculating jars I have no problems with it in the SAB even during the times I sweat a bit but that’s because I “season” my SAB with 70% ISO in a spray bottle. I treat my SAB like I treat my work grill. A reliable simple tool that needs to be seasoned for regular consistent sterile work. Only thing I can’t do with it is pour agar but that’s what the mini flowhood is floor. Or in front of the oven cracked open at 250°f if that’s all you have at home. I miss doing that, someday when I have my own place I be back to doing that. For now I make due with what I got. 6qt instant pot for cooking agar, transfer to media bottles for PC sterilization and it’s a wrap for the most part. Though tutorial wise it looks like I’ll be making jars again, this time I’ll be doing it with my bag of Oats since I got plenty of it. For grain bags I’m only doing that for the Popcorn tek since it works well. For bags I just drop the Agar in, the LIT Tek (Liquid Inoculate Tek) is best used for only jar inoculations only. Over time I’ll explain my reasons why and it will become clearer over time. Stay tuned and Mush love! Also can’t wait for my plants to take off!
