I personally like to use the tyvek paint suits for filters, they have worked great.....But throw them away after one round through the PC. I will eventually make the upgrade to the REAL tyvek filters in the future.....

You're back what is EZ-felt? Like what is it used on, look like, and is it water resistant like tyvek?
I go back to google and look again but I don't know what hobby place to call, one that sells radio control stuff, or one that sells flowers and beads.
I don't even know what it's for I will figure it out and find it though if you think it will be better than poly for GE and protection from contams.

I'm not really sure of the qualities of it. Boris & Barakanaten use it all the time.
The place w/ beads probably is your best bet.
You check out dude's gallery like I told ya?
I feel ya on the mode. My work load just tripled in the past week...

I looked at his profile but couldn't find home.
Couldn't I just get a package of good disposable face masks and cut circles out of them or something and just try to be careful not to hit the hole when I shake at 30-40%?

Uv is a completely different light wavelength in the spectrum so it would only block that not the blue.

I'm not going to recommend anything I haven't seen/can guarantee will work.
The way others have innovated is that they just tried it & said "hey! this shit works" so :shru2: try it...If it works awesome, if it doesn't...o well. Grain is cheap

I would think that a cheap fiberglass hepa filter type vaccuum bag would work, just because it is designed to filter the air through and keep the dirt inside. So in theory, it would let out gases and keep out contams.

I will try surgical mask filter on one since I have an extra jar anyway and post results. I was just trying to get opinions from someone that reads my post that has tried more things like the different filters.
I don't need any of your negative feedback. God bless you. 3n1gm4

It would be nice if someone was like me once and couldn't get the right tyvek, ran out of time, and used a piece of a white face mask and none contamed and they have been doing it the same way ever since. I ask allot of questions but that is because I am a noob. I just need to do things by a specific tek they say, parts of all the teks I have seen are outdated in some way or another.
If you don't want to answer a question, give good advice or contribute in some other positive way please don't respond. I am here to learn I don't need any drama.
I need suggestions and answers, and I just want to know everyones technique so that I can refine them all into one and have a decent grow for my second time. Can someone be nice and tell me if they think that a hepa bag piece or a piece of one of those white face masks would work, or not, and why. I am using Damions 50/50, RRs rye, and a monotub inspired from all different mono grows, same general design as the teks with a slightly smaller tub and smaller holes. All I have to do is follow the instructions for all that, but I don't see any alternative TEKs for a better contam/bug barrier than poly for vent holes on grain jars. If one of them works I might just make one jar with a different material every time to see if any of the hepa or facemask jars contam.
As far as I know this is a web forum about helping people by letting them discuss cultivation techniques for gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. I could some knowledge from the filter paper and micron, microbe, spore department. If any trusted cultivator has tried different materials than polyfil and tyvek pleas let me know.

Im not sure about the hepa thing you are talking about.....But those white masks aren't designed for blocking spores or what not....they are like dust masks. I do alot of demolition and have worked in filthy conditions with tons of air born particles floating around and those "white" masks aint worth shit.....You may work with them and have success, but people also use coffee filters and have success...and coffee filters suck.....

those dusk masks only block large particles and will not filter trich or other mold spores.

I was replying, unfortunately using my BBerry and didn't have time to source an image til now to explain. If he got the UV blocking lexan, it wouldn't block out the blue spectrum. It would only block out the UV wavelengths(in nanometers) (not that its actually visible ...to us anyways)

I just bought two cheap stackable tubs (clear bottom colored top) from wal-mart and cut the bottom off of one. I then cut a hole in one of the colored lids and used double sided tape, silicone to fill in any spaces, and then duct tape. If you have another tub or can get two the same size that are stackable this works great and is cheaper than the UV protected stuff. I found my tubs on sale for a little over 3$ a piece and the piece of plexiglass I was gonna buy was more than 14$. Hope this helps.

Does it matter how long it takes my grains to come to a boil in the first step where you steam off the moisture, I don't want to turn the heat up too high because I am afraid I might scorch the bottom grains? I am stirring regularly but they are taking forever to heat up on med/high heat. They have been cooking almost a half an hour and still not boiling.

Turn the stove on high & constantly stir, especially after 15 minutes on the stove. All my burst kernels come during this stage when I don't stir properly...or use WBS
