HELP...h2o and rubbing alcohol
    #14178843 - 03/24/11 09:43 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

ok so i jus started the process of pinning and i know you mist the bag after first harvest to ready for next flush...is it ok to use a h20/71%rubbing alcohol mix...highly diluted. as a mist.? and i know misting is sometimes needed during fruiting..is it ok to use the combination h20 and rubbing alcohol at that time as well?

I wouldn't do that.  Rubbing alcohol is known to cause damage to the cells of mycelium.  Just mist with regular water from your tap.  If your water's hard or not average for any reason, use gallon drinking water available at your local grocery market.

Listen to what hamloaf says. If you are really concerned about your water you can also filter it via brita filter pitcher and/or boil it let it cool and use that. Alcohol and mycelium dont go together.

THANK YOU im glad to know that..i did however rinse my perlite with tap water, and the spritz with water / alcohol mix to in hope of sterilizing more i guess. n my bag is sitting on a small container with the perlite around it.

it is also MG perlite but it had been rinsed saturated with water to allow MG to settle on bottom i dumped perlite  into colander leaving behind the MG. and rinsed a few times  before doing any of the above.

that is how my bag is sitting with a few holes a little above the substrate in this pattern ..


            *
* * * *    *
            *

on both front and back of the bag. I ALSO have a small X cut into the bag above that, only on the front.

the reason i have it done so oddly is because i have seen some post when you fruit entirely in the bag without cutting slicing or anything untill your first harvest, however more often i see with holes and slice, n more so done because of fresh air exchange..however i did not want to go to much becuase of higher risk of contam. so i hope my bag fruits well... any suggestions, tips, anything is helpfull. thnx.
