Flasking Frustrations, Finally Feeling Fed up

[JonnyBravo]

Okay, so I'm not actually fed up, I just wanted to use all that alliteration. But I AM frustrated. I've made 2 attempts at home-flasking in a sterile glovebox, and got bad results. I don't actually think that my problem is contamination, however. I understand sterile procedure, and found several step-by-step flasking procedures online and used them to design my own sterile flasking checklist and procedure. It seemed pretty solid, but I'm left with a bunch of jars full of useless media.

Typing out everything that I did and where I think I went wrong would be WAY too long for a thread, so I guess I'll need someone to email back-and-forth with me a little. My addy is bigsubjo@msn.com, just send me an email with something orchidy in the subject and I'll hit you back with the rundown of my procedure/results. I'd really prefer a response from people who have experience successfully flasking at home, if y'all don't mind. Thanks in advance, I can't wait to bring bunches and bunches of little orchids into the world!
