I think that the hardest part of gram staining is trying to figure out if it's gram positive or negative. Also seeing it well under the microscope. Putting the crystal violet, alcohol, and iodine isn't hard.

The hardest part of gram staining is keeping everything sterial. Also trying to figure out if it is gram postive or negative. I like it tho!

The hardest part for me to gram stain is keeping thing steril. Also i dont like being around flames. But its not that bad.

The hardest part is keeping everything steril. It is also hard not getting purple all over your hands. It doesn't come off that well.

It is really hard to make everything clean. It is also hard to make sure you are staining the right cultures. You have to be very organized when you do it.
