I had trouble finding affordable synthetic filter material to allow contamination free airflow for growing stones.
Muddled through with a chopped up foam mat but I suspect I will run into problems. Going to try some pillow stuffing. Any tips re filter disks cheaper than the £25 on amazon would be sweet.

In terms of GE for sclerotia, I have only ever used micro pore tape+tyvek patches.. Always do proper high temp silicone injection ports etc, but tyvek taped on seems to last years, and multi PC's...
My mason jar lids usually rust/degrade before my GE patches, FD's are great if ya can get them, but never sought them out, only used gifted ones from OP (where ya at Base??? ). Def not needed, I was giving away sclerotia at Cornish beach parties for couple years, had way more than ya would ever need without legal retail outlet!!
Stones are AWESOME though, like MDMA took LSD down a back alley and roofied it! In a good way!!

Can't wait hehe. But I'll have to 
I got a 5 quid bag of pillow fluff to fashion filters ports on next jars.
I was looking for a little bottle of peroxide for cardboard cloning and wondered if this would be ok. It's got sodium cylacate and citric acid in it too https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005IA9YXQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474536023&sr=8-2&keywords=3+peroxide&pi=SY200_QL40

For those who don't like buying stuff online I found 1litre Kilner canning jars with the two piece lid in Wilkos, but aren't cheap, £2.50 each!
Would only recommend this option if you really are stuck

About average if not a little cheaper than many places for proper 2 piece lid jars, I pay the extra as I love them, but ya can find good deals online if ya buy12-24 at a time..
@littlespider, if you just want straight peroxide solution, Boots used to do it a couple years back, won't be on the shelves but quite possibly in the drawers behind the counter, sometimes worth asking more than one member of staff as some of them seem unaware of what they actually stock!!
Larger stores almost def still carry it, worth a look for sure.

Great thanks.
Sorry just noticed above comment about my spores purchase. Didn't realise I'm not supposed to mention non sponsor shops.
Is there a list of UK spore shops that are on the sponsored list?

Don't think so there's plenty good ones in UK don't think I've come across a bad one yet. I ordered APE and PEU from a sponsor vendor but came from USA as I couldn't find those two or any PE strain in UK

FSRE is a decent place to look for pretty much any spores, I assume it still exists...?
Not sure if I am allowed to mention them, but they give stuff away for cost of shipping, like 1Euro or something, and we have a marketplace and spore giveaway threads, so I am gonna roll the dice and hope I ain't beeing a r00l breaker, sorry if I am dick-ass MOD's.

Would you mind posting a little growlog if it's not too much trouble mazdar? Hard to find UK growlogs 
Edit so ontopic: if i remember right FSRE rarely has PE strains in due to very high demand, i was checking em out myself looking for stone species.

Yeah they can be hit and miss, but it is always worth a look, and worth sending to them as well as buying/taking, think they do great things.
I have had some very rare bits from them in the past, but sometimes it is just a matter of patience/luck.
Should see how these Pets at Home coir bricks work out within the week, got couple of tubs on the go.

Way ahead of you but only releasing them for everyone to see when completed.
 Ape is at transfer 2 PEU is at transfer 1 (took cooking ages to start after innoc) APE Pf is 3/4 colonised 5/7 jars made it two with two different contams in the garage battling it out lol Sunday is journal picture update day can't wait, Im really getting more joy out of waiting a week without checking them, the growth is way more impressive than checking all the time like I used to do

Have you tried cheap felt used by kids for art projects? I bought a bunch for a pound in The Works and have used it for mason jar lids without issue for a couple of years now.

I bought 25kg Gypsum on eBay for a couple of quid more than 500g - you will never use that much in a lifetime but regardless, it seemed a better deal ...

Anyone got any ideas for where to get straw? Pets at home will probably be overpriced
