I find those poly-fil filters very questionable, I had a hell of a time with tyvek filters and I don't think poly-fil will be much better.
I recommend buying some synthetic filter discs from a Shroomery sponsor, The Mad Season has the best price and service from my experience.

:goodluck:

poly fill works great, super cheap, available locally and synthetic so germs wont grow on it if its clean.  much more FAE than tyvek or filter disks imo.




When you're colonizing jars you want gas exchange (GE) not fresh air exchange. Synthetic filter discs are more assuring than any other type of air filter. I am glad to hear that poly-fil works well for you though. :smile:

More grow update. Only 2 jars are colonizing 1 got contamination and the other 1 is stalled.





2 weeks.





Other things equal, a jar that has been stalled for a week or more is an infected jar.

Why did you only soak for 1 hour compared to 24?




Cause I was in hurry.





The point of soaking is that it germinates the contaminate endospores so they die in the PC. How long did you PC and at what PSI?
Also, I don't trust those poly-fil filters. You can never be too sterile in this hobby.

gref I PC for 90 minutes and I don't know how much PSI cause I don't have the gauge.

Why don't you trust poly-fill? As you can see the mycelium is growing even with all my errors (first timer) :smile:.

Regards





90 minutes sounds good enough, but it needs to be at 15 PSI.

I don't trust poly-fil because I had the worst time ever dealing with tyvek and I just don't see poly-fil being much better. I use poly-fil in my monotubs and it has so much gaps in it I don't see how it could make a good filter.
However, if you can get jars to fully colonize with it then power to you.

I use synthetic filter discs and they work so well.
