First time cultivator questions!
    #14248854 - 04/06/11 05:50 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Sorry about all the questions just don't want my first grow to be contaminated!


I see in some fruiting chambers people but cotton in the holes they drill in there tub as a filter, is this necessary?

I have perlite, vermeculite and still need brown long corn rice flour but couldn't find it in the grocery store I was at, should I just buy a coffee grinder and brown long corn rice and grind it like that? or can someone send me a link of a picture of the kind they but at there local store?

I also see several people use airstones in a glass of water to keep the humidity up, with perlite throughout the bottom and vermeculite on the cakes would you still reccomend using the stone or is it a bit overboard?

Another question is after watching brf pf tek I saw after birthing and soaking took place they said they baked the verm they roll the cakes in for30 mins at 350 I was wondering if I need to sterilize the tin foil i set the cakes on when i place them into the fruiting chamber onto the perlite.

As far as sterilizing the jars with the substrate in them, I have a 8 gallon pot with a lid would this work just the same if I used the 1/2 pint  jar lids to keep the glass off the bottom and put water 1inch to the bottom of the jars (but not in them)

I'm supposed to be getting two 10cc syringes tomorrow and I was wondering if the best way to sterilize them, just a quick wipe on the needle with 70% alc and let it dry?  or to burn it hot red with a lighter and let it cool? Or are the syringes that come in the mail from sporeworks already sterile

Thanks for the help! It's obvious I need all I can get.

If your doing brf tek no cotton is need.
Organic Brown Rice flour go to organic grocery store or organic food store.
No stone and don't need to sterilize foil, but I did bake my verm.
Flame needle red hot before each jar you can wipe with alcohol after but not needed.

What does that have to do with anything?? I've never grown outside, but probably close to the temperatureyou would use inside. Search it I bet there's more than 1,000 post on that subject

Munchiegreen said it perfectly. When i use the brf tek i don't put anything in the holes and i've never had a contaminate. Brown rice flower is in all teh grocery stores near me, not just organic ones. Just go to the isle with flour and it should be in a brown bag. The stone is a bit excesive haha but it want to it wouldn't hurt :P Putting the verm in the stove is always safe but i've never done that myself and never had a contaminate. As far as the inoculation part though i flame the needle wipe with alcohol that i tipped on the napkin to cool it down then inculate the jar in all 4 holes. The flame and alcohol wipe between each jar. The needles from vendors are sterile but after u take the cap off you don't know what coulda landed on them. Just like munchiegreen said the Lets Grow Mushrooms videos on youtube are amazing.

You won't need to sterilize the needles for your first injection. Sporeworks syringes come with a syringe cap on them. The needles come separately in their own sterile packaging and need to be attached to the syringe. You should flame sterilize the needles between injections, no alcohol. The needle will cool as the spore solution passes through it.
