well i just checked the 4 good jars and everythings good no contams...but mother fucker these things are colonizing so slow..the wait is starting to kick in baaad.

i feel like they are just creeping along..barely any noticable growth from day to day.

archangel your sig pic is killing me, i just want to take a bite.

only check on them once a week. That way when you do look at em you see growth. once they get to 90% + check em every 2-3 days. THE WAIT WILL KILL YOU, but it's worth it.....if you think that pic is bad i'll post a few pix this weekend. If thats ok, not stealling your thread.

haha yeah seriously. Don't you only need like 1/5 of the print typically? I haven't read much about syringe making but I've glanced over it. Haven't gotten to that stage yet.
