Its not faster to start by any means but agar is a way to get your project going without using a whole spore syringe. If you have shaken up the syringe enough you will only need a drop of spore water on the agar. Its also a way to clean up wild spores and clone. You can then take a slice of...
try lactoserum sprayed on your plants and surrounding area weekly or biweekly during veg and first few weeks of flower, its a probiotic you can make. google it. i have had luck with kombucha and EM1 as well indoors and outdoors in high humidity.
100g jar cured for only a week as of now.

The timer has been like this for a few weeks with the intentions to finish flower densely. This schedule is a far red to a warm white morning that adds in cool white. Which, basically doubles the light intensity and kinda saves me power. Other bells and whistles going on with extra colors...
