1 question, and 1 air exchange idea
    #5883644 - 07/21/06 04:34 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Some info about my PF jars :
Im using only a few layers of alu foil instead of normal lids to cover my PF jars.
The foil is tightly sticked to the jar.
I have 5 small holes on the foil of each jar, diameter is about 0.5 - 1.0 mm.

And now, the question - If i turn the jurs upside down, are these small holes going to be enough for air exchange? If not, what else could i do, to get some O2 in the jars?

And the idea i mentioned in the subject -> (a picture tells a thousand words)

I was thinking that the H2O2 that would be added to the hydrated geolite, would decompose gradually to H2O and O2, and that O2 would directly go into the jars than... Could this work?

CO2 is heavier than O2 BTW. Now you don't need to introduce O2 into the jars you just need to allow CO2 produced by the myc to escape this creates gas exchange there by an exchange in values.

Ok thanks for your help, i was just wondering if the holes are going to be big enough...

wait up.

you say covered in foil and all that. they're still colonizing? why do you have them in a chamber with geolite at all? that sounds like a fruiting chamber. it sounds like you're still at the incubation stage. that's two totally different things.

Yes, they are still incubating, but the picture is just describes my idea. Geolite would soak up the H2O2, and would be some kind of O2 producer because of the gradual decomposition of H2O2... It would maybe help to get more O2 in the jars that mycelium needs when colonizing the substrate... dunno, just an idea

FYI Jars won't suck in O2 especially when there expelling CO2 constantly. You'll be just fine as long as they're not air tight at all.
