Inoculation: Bathroom or kitchen?
    #18843138 - 09/15/13 01:37 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I've read that a small bathroom with no drafts that can easily be cleaned and sprayed with bleach is best for inoculation. I've also seen sources say you should try to use a fume hood.

I have a small bathroom I can quickly clean, or a kitchen with an overhead suction fan above the oven that acts like a "fume hood". Just wondering what would be best for inoculation, or does it really matter?

I will also be using a glovebox and being very clean in general, of course.

Thanks!

It won't matter where you are if your using a glovebox or still air box and following proper sterile procedure. I have never heard of a fume hood. Enlighten a nuckah?

The answer is in a SAB.

Fume hood used for extracting air from the workspace and filtering it. Seems to be some debate about whether or not this is good.

I assume SAB = Still Air Box? Yeah, I have that. So it shouldn't make much of a difference?

I think what you're referring to is a flow hood. A SAB (still air box) will work just fine though.

SAB's work much better for this hobby than A GB (glovebox) by the way.

This, fume hood is soooo not good.  Who told you of this silly method?

I thought they were one in the same.  No?

Hmm weird. Yeah the fume hood idea seems a bit sketchy due to air currents.

Also, as DeadPhan said, isn't a GB the same as SAB? Basically what I have is a box with small holes for my arms, and it is completely sealed from the outside environment.

No a GB has gloves and tends to create drafts as you move your arms and you also can't flame your untencils because the gloves are attached while a SAB just has holes so you can take you're hands out to flame your utencils and you don't create drafts from moving your hands with attached gloves nor from the heat of trying to flame inside the box (and possibly causing danger if you use iso to clean it). SAB's a far superior for this purpose.

Bathrooms and kitchens are the two filthiest rooms in any house.  Don't use either for sterile work.

Fume hoods draw air into and through the work space to protect the operator.  Flow hoods blow filtered air on the work space to protect the culture.  Use the latter or a still air box.

Thank you RR. Much appreciated.

So I should instead work in a different room with a SAB? I read that carpeted rooms are bad... this true?

Thanks again!

Kitchen bathroom or a carpeted bedroom which would be the best? A SAB will be used. A lot of experienced growers seem to have good results using any of these options

Period.

You could be in a mold filled room, but with good sterile technique and a SAB you can come out a winner.

It's best to work in a clean area away from kitchens or bathrooms.  They're the two rooms with the highest mold and bacteria counts of any room in your house.  At least start your still air box in a cleaner area since they're not airtight by any means.  Clean out a closet in the bedroom and use that.

I constructed a stand out of 2x3's and I use it for My SAB and my fruiting chamber. All of my work is done in a closet
