Sterilze Needle..........
    #8680390 - 07/25/08 01:18 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

i am using the inoculation method of an alcohol dipped gauze pad  held around the needle, and pressed against the jar as i inject the needle through the aluminum foil.
Is it okay to sterilize the needle with alcohol and not a flame or something? And has this method of inoculation been proven good because it looked to be a good one

1st Welcome to The Shroomery.

2nd I only flame once between each cake and always wipe with 70% Iso after every hole.

3rd Take the foil off before you noc up. And if you have the foil under the lid, don't do that. That foil is supposed to be put over the lid to keep water from getting into the jar.

Happy growing.

Alcohol pads do nothing for the inside of the needle.  Flame sterilize until red hot.

RR In no way am I suggesting he not flame sterilize the needle. Please don't get me wrong. This is assuming that the jars are PF jars. The needle should most definitely be flamed. I just do it between jars because whatever contam that may come from holes 1,2,3, or 4 is already in the jar. I flame after my 5th inoc of the jar so that there is no cross contamination.

I apologize for any confusion on my part.

there's no problem using a cigarette lighter to sterilize your syringe needle. there are no dangers in doing so. :mushroom2:

There are no dangers. Just a little cumbersome lighting a BIC while wearing gloves. You also risk ripping the glove.

Alcohol lamps are cheap, and easy to use.

Good Luck
