Small Change on the PF TEK Idea
I started my first grow this evening. I am using Golden
Teacher spores from Ralphsters with the PF TEK method.
I have made one small change that I thought might be worth considering to
others. Usually the foil is place on top of the lids so that when a syringe is
used to inject the spores through the holes in the lid, the foil is quickly
removed and then replaced again after. What I did instead was place the foil
underneath the holeless lid and sterilized the jars with the lid lightly
screwed on top of the foil. Then in inoculation, I unscrewed the lids, leaving
the jar still sealed by the foil and injected by penetrating the foil with the
syringe and then quickly screwing the lid back on. I think this leaves even
less opportunity for infection than the original method and leaves the lids
undamaged.
Any comments, suggestions or criticisms?
