I bought the original culture from LFT, I believe it was started from seeds.
Is your carbon powdered? I have to grind mine up and it seems to sit at the bottom mostly.
powdered and lab grade! Our awesome John Yates shared a tips for carbon: slightly shake the jar with the media right after it's out of the pressure cooker (before it cools down) and the carbon won't just sit at the bottom.
Here are some cultures to look at... 
I wish I have more energy because a lot of the cultures need re-plating soon.

Drosera meristocaulis
Cephalotus follicularis
Drosera aff. ordensis {Kingston Rest}
Drosera ordensis x falconeri
Nepenthes glabrata

It looks great!
Is the dew from my seeds?
Yes
It's doing well.

Do you have any of these guys for sale?
Here's my favorite sterilization for seeds in general, it works for a good range of plant species for me.
Seed sterilization
Ingredients:
NADCC 500ppm (500mg/L)
GA3 1000ppm (1000mg/L)
A drop of surfactant
Boiled water
Procedures:
1. Mix up the ingredients with boiled water, place the solution in a sealable and clean container.
2. Package seeds in paper/ coffee-filter envelopes
3. Place seed packets in the sterilization solution. Make sure there is enough liquid to let the packets fully submerged.
4. Use a pair of tweezers to squeeze out air bubbles in the seed packets.
5. Let the seed packets soak for 24 hours.
6. Take out the seed packets and carefully distribute the seeds under sterile environment (i.e. inside a LFH).
Notes:
Only prepare the amount you would need. For best result, prepare new solution each time.
I like using 1/4 MS media for seed germination. Usually if it is successfully, germination would occur within 1-2 months.
GA3 is good for encouraging seed germination, also works as a dormancy breaker for temperate species
@Lloyd Gordon , hope it helps!
