need help with Best plastic lid setup for pf tek large buget
    #15175395 - 10/04/11 06:22 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

i have some excess money in my bugget and want to invest in my pf tek jars the lids more acuratly.

i take it that the plastic lids are better then the 2 peice metal lids, i assume that idealy id want resealable injection ports, but what about the air exchange. ive read you dont want too much air exchange as this might induce pre-mature pinning. too be honist idk what the best route is,this is my first grow and i just want the best lid setup for my buget ($130), i will be using pf tek in the future to test my isolated agar cultures. i've checked countless threads but can't find what i'm looking for. so what would you do. this is a money no object situation as this is my only hobby and i got it like that so i'm not intrested in posts that say things like keep it simple as i stated i want the Best choice

For PF tek, simple is the key though. There is really no resealable plastic lid that you can produce that will allow for the 4 injection sites. You can use self healing injection ports on 4 sides and silicone a filter lid on the center. I can produce pf jars with no microspore tape, no filters (other than the dry verm layer), and using $5 worth of lids. Only my opinions. Best of luck.

I make my LC jars using a whole SFD disk and an inoculation port.

use a hole puch to cut a hole through both the lid and SFD in the same spot, the use the hole puch to punch another hole just in the lid.

The inoculation ports I use fit very tightly in the hole...  through the SFD...  no silicone needed!  and makes a beutiful lid!

yes, but if you check, they require a minimum $10 order not including shipping... with there standard shipping rate it costs $15.95 to place a minimum order.  Which is fine... IF you want 60 of them :smile:

EDIT:
I was thinking about buying them myself after viewing your link... but after closer examination, I wont.  They dont have the beveled bottoms that hold them in place like the ones Im currently using... these you'll HAVE to silicone to keep them in place.  I dont like that.
