Can I get SFDs wet when shaking spawn?
    #21153073 - 01/20/15 10:58 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

I'm doing my first WBS grow, and I've seen a lot of threads saying that when shaking grain jars with polyfill filters to make sure the filter doesn't get wet, as it'll encourage contams.

My question: is the same true of SFDs? Is it a terrible mistake to get it wet or can I shake the everloving shit out of my jars? I bought premade plastic lids with the filter disks pretty well sealed onto them, if that makes any difference.

I think that depends a lot on whether it's cellulose or synthetic or glass, but your grain shouldn't be wet enough to make your SFD filter wet in the first place.

Well, the S in SFD stands for "synthetic" so I think that mystery is solved haha :wink:
The grains aren't wet enough to soak the filter or anything, but seeing as little bits of contact water are an issue for polyfill, I'm just making sure before I go mucking around with my jars.

I don't even put foil over my SFD lids when PC'ing and I've used them dozens of times.
