Room prep
    #14541852 - 05/31/11 05:46 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys (and I say that in a gender-neutral way),

I'm trying to find advice for a friend... he's prepping a room to use for cultivation, and he wants as much help as he can get in terms of reducing contamination risk. He thinks the place has a very high spore count, so every bit helps.

Anyway, working in a carpeted room, do you think he should put down builder's poly over the carpet? On the plus side, I think it should be much easier to keep sterile, but on the negative, we're afraid that it will create a "nest" for contamination between the poly and the carpet. My theory is that if he seals all the seams and edges with tuck-tape or similar, it doesn't matter that much what is underneath.

It's generally a good idea to keep your home clean, even if you don't grow mushrooms. :shrug:

just make a glove box set it on a table and mist with 70% isopropyl alcohol. no need for complicated methods of sanitation with a still air glove box.

Obviously the carpet would be vacuumed etc, before all of this happened. Some areas just seem to have issues regardless. Allegedly he had great luck in one place, and no luck at all in the new apt., doing all the same things.

The glove box is certainly going to be used, too. But still... extra doesn't hurt, right? I've personally had problems even using a glovebox, and I don't think my technique is totally shit.
