sterilizing my FC before birthing...
    #14354429 - 04/26/11 10:38 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

So my FC has been set up for a while, I built a PMP and it keeps a humidity of around 90-95% from what my hygrometer says. (I'm guessing i need to add more perlite or cover more holes, but thats not my question)

I want to know how I can sterilize the perlite that has been sitting in there before i finally birth my babies. I hear H202 hydrogen peroxide mixed in with the water is ok, but i don't have any right now. Can i use isopropyl alcohol 91% mixed in with the water instead?

DO NOT PUT ALCOHOL IN YOUR FC

h2o2 is fine. u dont have to worry about it but if you have some put a little bit in. it wont hurt.

First... Dont cover your holes FAE triggers pinning, Its nothing you cant make up for with a little extra misting. As for the Perlite I would just rinse it really well, as long as the cakes are 100% colonized they are very good at resisting contams.

Scrub it out with warm soapy water, rinse, air dry.

cool guys thanks for the quick responses, I will just clean and rinse it really well. I see your point DyngBreed but it has a bubble wand in the bottom so i'm not too worried about FAE.

Thanks for the good info :thumbup:
