    I like to flip my agar as soon as it cools so condensation doesnt fall down onto the grow media. Especially with spores, you can always store the cups upsude down and even inoculate them upside down, imo this can help prevent anything falling into the agar when you open the cup. Agar to agar isnt so clean, sometimes the agar will fall off, so I let a2a transfers sit for 48 hours so the transfer has time to bond to the agar then I flip it upside down. Honestly, your videos have gotten me inspired to pick up the hobby again! Thank you for getting me off an 8 year hiatus!

    Did my agar ketchup cups following your instructions. Three days later, my agar cups have little white fuzz balls where I swabbed the spores. I have the cups placed in an incubator around 75-80°f . I used a totally sealed airbox and rubbed all the cups and lids and everything I was in contact with in isopropyl alcohol but I did leave lids off while pouring directly i to cups im hoping I didn't contaminate anything but I have little white fuzzy balls growing off the clubs of spores. I also used a normal q-tip that I dipped in alcohol both sides and let dry in my SAB hopefully the alcohol did short work of any bacterial or mild spores.

    forgive the noobie question - i come from the world of growing cannabis.
    you said at 2:54 that those are multiple genetics popping off in the agar. so does that mean like cannabis you can essentially cut out the different "genetics" out of there and put them into different agar cups to separate these genetics - grow them out to find the strongest growth / biggest fruits and rinse/repeat to find the best growth? or is this something that isnt usually done. done a lot of cross breeding cannabis in my 20s in the medial marijuana industry (so legally there YT Lol). appreciate these awesome videos with amazing information. thanks so much.
