Tin Foil Jar Question
    #15175374 - 10/04/11 06:07 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

I notice in the PF Tek videos he covers each jar with tin foil.  Does anyone know the reason for this?

For future questions, you should try the search engine first. It is used to prevent water from entering your jars, if your dry Vermiculite barrier were to get wet then it would be a gateway for contaminates to enter your substrate. Tape is an added precaution.

Reason I ask is because back in the day, tape was all that we needed.  So technically there is no "need" for the foil.

BTW.....if I wanna use the search engine, I'll use the search engine but I wanted to post a question instead.  Any problem with this, don't post a reply.

Just a thought, not trying to be a dick.

foil is only used during sterilization to keep water out of your jars.  remove the foil before inoculating the jars.
