Holy Crap my place is FILLED with MOLD SPORES
    #10111638 - 04/05/09 05:12 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Maybe someone used this place before for mold projects.

I wiped a pair of scissors i had with alcohol and used it to mix my sterilized WBS (cause it was too starchy) in a glove box. Like 3 days later the WHOLE thing is GREEN. Like 100% colonized. not like a spot. This is in 60 degree temps too.

I am PCing the jar without opening it right now.

If my place is really moldy what can I do to help protect my Monotubs when I am ready for them. So far all of my jars have 0% mold other than this one test jar.

Keep your tubs above 1ft off the ground due to most bacteria being present and the foot of the floor. Pick a clean room and clean it furthe ex: vaccum, lysol,lysol. and more lysol.  I also usea air purifier in the room i use to grow

I have the same problem. So I put everything needed in the glove box, make it airtight, pump it with ozone and let it sit for 15-20 min. Works like a charm. You'd need to wear gloves though, or your hands may get a light chem. burn.

I pump ozone into FC before putting the cakes there and I pump it into the incubator after handling the jars. It works well, especially in the incubator. O3 meets with contams and changes to O2 before it reaches the mycelium in the jars.

I have a visible mold issue in some areas of my home. I plan to hang some germicidal lighting in my inoculation area (kitchen) and literally nuke it with short wave UV before inoculation. I plan to use the oven as a pseudo glove box but actually heat it and up prior and cool it in advance to sterilize it also.

Germicidal light is great, I am lucky to work for a specialty lighting dist, and am also familiar with the light. Disclaimer if anyone plans on doing something similar, PLEASE FIND OUT ABOUT THE HAZARDS. Strong UVC light can and will blind a person quickly.

Whats up with using scissors to stir up your sterilized WBS?  Regardless if you put alcohol on it or not, alcohol will not kill everything on those scissors... you'd need to flame sterilize the scissors which is a pain as it is.

If your grains are sticking together, you should add gypsum to your WBS during your soak or simmer depending on how your prepare it.  This will not only add nutrients which will aid in healthier mycelium, but will keep your WBS from sticking together and the kernels will fall from one another easily.

And instead of using scissors or any tool to dig out or mix your sterilized grain, just bang the sealed jar on a really thick phone book, or better yet a well inflated bike tire, I use one constantly.
