So basically when you got all the things you need. You start with sterilising your glass petri dishes (if you got plastic ones is good too. They be sealed and sterilised already. So no need for sterilising process. The only down side is that they are one time use.) So if you have glass ones like me wipe them down with alcohol wipes. Put a spacer or something at the bottom of your pressure cooker so there would be space between the bottom and where you gonna place your petri dishes. KEEP IN MIND. That contact of Petri dishes with the bottom will pop and break them.) Stack your petri dishes on top of eachoter and cover them with foil. (Not too tight, just enough so the water that's being boiled wouldnt get inside.). Make an agar mix take your glass jar or media bottle or whatever you're gonna use to keep the mix. So to prepare enough agar for about 20 agar plates this is the measurements. 10 grams agar 10 grams light malt extract 500 ml water 20 petri dishes Media bottle or jar with hole in lid (Narrow neck passata bottles are great) Close the lid of your mix and cover with foil. Don't close the lid tight cause it will cause the glass bottle explosion 🤣🙏it should be able to remove the gasses and bacteria so keep it a lil loose. So after that put your mix in the pressure cooker next to the petri dishes. Put water(I used bottled water since its cleaner than tap water) inside the pressure cooker till the point where it almost meets the petri dishes and your agar mix . But do Not submerge them under water.🛶⛵🛥️ Then you close your pressure cooker and keep it going for about 1 hour.(make sure you start to count after your pressure cooker starts to whistle that means that it got to the right temp to kill all the bacteria. Exactly what we need) When it's done wipe down the walls of your SAB(still air box) and the table it's on with alcohol wipes. Wash your hands with senitiser very well. (You should do it almost every time you touch something or even when get your hands out of the SAB). Place your petridishes and your mix inside your SAB . Let it cool down for a about an hour so the mix will cool down and will be okay to hold in your hand. Ones it's the right temperature you can start your work. Now what you have to do is pour your agar mix in your Petri dishes maybe till half not a full. (You don't need too much). You will find technics on YouTube of how to do it properly. Your movements should be settle and calm but in the same time quick and steady. The pouring that's accurate and done in right way will show you great results and gives you a very little or no chance at all for contamination to ruin your plans.(while pouring stack them on top of eachother it helps to prevent condensation on the dishes) When the pouring is ready leave your now -AGAR dishes to cool down for like 2 hours in your SAB. After that time make sure the agar inside the dishes is solid and cooled down. Now you have to clean your hands again and bring your spore syringe inside your SAB. Now what you have to do is shake the living thing out of your spore syringe so it will break the clumps of spores and distribute them around the syringe. And slowly open your agar dishes and just put one little drop from your syringe in the middle. Not more. Just one little drop. It's enough to bring the mycelium in. After doing each one, close them with parafilm around the edges. First step is done. Now all you have to do is put them inside maybe a box and in a dark place. Check for the right temp and humidity online.. I didn't use anything and just winged it.(which isn't recommended at all)

add small doses of calmag to your every second feed, maintain good watering regime ( water when pots are light ) and follow good ph, that's all you need to do. i see some big buds in the background, so you know the drill yes its magnesium issue and those rusty spots are ph issue, which will lead to calcium issues ... Happy Growing !
