Default Tried some flasking recently

Tried using homemade medium today.
I used a blender to chop the potatoes cuase I have no grater. Worked well. I cooked the potatoes till they got a consistancy of goo, the smell of cooking potato and its skin is interesting. I ended up burning alot of the stuff at the bottom of the pot.
I added 15 grams of agar, a whole banana, chopped up as well, and 5 grams of honey.

In anycase, here is some of what I did:
I cooked the potato and banana and honey water till it was boiling, then added the agar, then boiled it again. Finally I filled jars and sterilzed the stuff in an autoclave.




and here it all goes into the autoclave.
While I waited for that to get sterilized, I prepared the seeds.
I used Aarons method:
First I got some bottles with metal lids, poked a hole in each lid. Filled it with Silicone so that when I punture it with the syringe (that will be filled with seeds) the hole will close itself.
I sterilized the seeds using a drop of non anti-bacti soap, water and some sugar, left it over night. Sucked up any extra water, gave the seeds a bath in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide for 10 Mins, washed them with sterile water.
