Hi Nathan,
-- i'm not sure anymore if these white streaks are/were growing at some point, all new to me.
But the picture i show are from my second experiment. I thought my first one had failed because i had only white streaks on both side of the plate and no dots.
In my first experiment i followed the protocol and indeed poured 100 ul of the CRISPRed mix onto the plate, it was indeed quite wet. I thought this was the reason why it failed. But i maybe mistaken.
On the second experiment, the picture i've shown, i simply used an inoculation loop to pick up cells from my CRISPRed mix and streak them on my plate, although generously. At first it was transparent on both side. The whitish color only came after maybe an hour (max 2-3 hours) on my 37 C heat plate. Then the dots on one side appeared over night.

The odd thing about what you said is "For me, these whitish streaks do
not seem to be growing colonies, the streak appeared rather rapidly
after i streaked both strains, once they were dried, but then they
stayed like this."
So if you followed the instructions, you'd have dropped 100uL onto the
plate, then spread it around. From my memory, and the last time I
spread cells was probably 4 years ago, 100uL is reasonably wet... so I
would not recommend mixing strains on the same plate/dish.
Continuing, if the appearance of the agar hasn't changed ("but then
they stayed like this"), seems like you might have over-dried to begin
with. A spread of culture, assuming you don't scrape/scratch the agar,
should look like a dirty/oily window, rather than a window with
mucus/paste obviously spread over it (what I'd call yours).
A question I have, aside from why you tried to plate so much of two
cultures (100uL each) onto a single plate, is, did you mix the culture
before plating? I don't think this really matters experimentally, but
just thinking about reasons why your dry streaks look so thick (i.e.
maybe you didn't mix, sucked up the cell-pellet that settled at the
bottom of the tube).
