Question about the alcohol sponge inoculation tek
    #18851708 - 09/16/13 10:37 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I was wondering about this tek. I'm very new to cultivating, but I've done a good bit of research. I was thinking a glovebox is the best way as of right now but I just stumbled upon this and was winding why everyone doesn't use this for pf. I would like to know if there any cons like the alcohol affecting the substrate or anything else.
Is it a great idea or no?

Alcohol sanitizes, it doesn't sterilize. Just flame the needle red hot and squirt a drop out to cool it down.

But do you thing that the whole alcohol sponge idea is "foolproof" you have your flame sterilized needle going thru the sponge to inoculate. So there's no really chance for airborne spores to get in the jar?

Flame it red hot, don't ever wipe it with anything after flaming it red hot.

Nothing is more sterile than red hot.

If "airborne contams" are getting into your jars when you are inoculating, you need to work on your sterile procedures.

And another question would be how affective would you say the dry layer of verm is to protect the jar. And how is it protecting it. i inoculated in a box with holes lysoled everything around wore gloves wiped everything down. Flamed the needle and wiped the needle in between jars with a disinfectant wet wipe.

Very.

It remains dry and contams cannot colonize/make thru it.

You should be flaming needles before each jar.  The vermiculite barrier is extremely effective, as can be seen by the thousands of successful grows using PF Tek.
