My Little Experiment

Well I'm bored and my job is closed so I can't use the autoclave...so since I soaked some bird seed last night I figured what the hell and decided to try a little experiment. I took my quart jars full of WBS and microwaved them 3 times for 2 minutes with a 5 minute waiting time in between each microwaving. Then after that I took the jars and boiled them for an hour. When they cool I plan on inoculating 2 of them with Penis Envy and 2 with Lizard King and see what happens. I figure since i already have 2 bags of sterilized rye berries inoculated with 1 of each I have nothing to lose. I will let you guys know how things turn out.

Nope, no lids were on them. I had them soaking in Madacide (hospital disinfectant) then I put them on the jars when I boiled them.

I had coffee filters that were held on with rubber bands. Like I said this is just me being bored and wanting to see what I could do. I have had successful grows and figured it couldn't hurt to try something new.

Normally I follow Doc_T's WBS Tek but instead of PCing I use the autoclave at my job and sterilize for 45 minutes at 30 psi, then inoculate inside of a glove box

If it works I think it would be more a combination of luck and/or a clean workplace in general. Still though the only way to find out is to try it
