BEST Place To Grow? Old House :(
    #19343908 - 12/29/13 10:12 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello everyone. I'm not new here. I used to post alot a few years back before I stopped using shrooms.

I couldn't remember the email or password so I just made a new account: Anyways

Question: Best place to grow seeing as i live in an old apartment with lots of mold. I had problems with contamination before...Only about 6 out of 15 jars made it.

Can I put the jars inside a tote while they get ready?...or something like that?

My old house used to give me similar ratios.  Open air inoculations through polyfill were near 65% success.  Ever since I switched to using a still air box for ALL WORK, I have literally eliminated every issue.  I Have had one minor contamination on agar in the last 5 months, where 4 plates got the green....it is what agar is for though.  EVERYTHING has been a success. 

A Still Air box has the potential to pay for itself after one use.  I know mine has.  No more wasted grain/spores etc. 

Good luck!

Absolutely the case for me.

I have a mold problem in my space too and struggled with contamination. Once I started using a still air box at inoculation with a breath mask I had zero jars lost.

On the side note, I've also left a jar without foil on it in a fairly nasty room and forgot about it for months and nothing grew in it. That dry layer really does its job!
