I'm not understanding the function of a top lid.  Have you ever seen anyone else successfully use anything like that?  I've never heard of it, and it sounds like you're coming up with solutions to problems that don't need to exist, but those solutions create more problems, mainly being needlessly complicated.

Use as little tape as possible if you can help it, this really isn't a good duct tape hobby.  I use it to cover holes in my fruiting chambers during colonization and that's it.

I am going to take off the gloves and the tubes within the holes on the box, make the holes a lil bit larger to fit the jars through, will a lil bit of duct tape covering the crack in the box be okay on the inside of the box? should i remove it and put silicone there instead? thank you so much for your help, first time for me and want to seee if i can get a success. I saw a guy in a mushroom vid and he had a lid on the top of his glove box which he opened (plexiglass) and placed the jars inside and sprayed it all with an antibacterial, leaving it for 2 mins and then going back to it. Seemed like a good idea at the time because I though the spray would kill the germs and spores and then there would be no gaps for outside spores or bacterias to enter

Why do the jars need to fit through the holes?  If your arms fit it's fine.  I just put the jars on the towel and set the whole thing over them, or, I guess you can use the holes.  Either way.

Here's how I do it:

Spray alcohol on tub lid and inside SAB, wipe down inside, then wipe down lid.
Use lid as base.
Put everything you will be needing and or using on lid.
I do this relatively fast so I flip the tub upside down and click it into the lid.

Done.

Not a single contam.

One last annoying question from me :laugh: The part of the world where I live they do not sell distilled water in any shops no where at all! Only option is amazon, is distilled water still the best water to use for a substrate, or can I use spring water? thank you for any reply by the way, really appreciated

NEVER use distilled water ever.  Tap water is fine.  Hell, you can use fucking river water to hydrate your substrate as long as you still sterilize/pasteurize it, depending on whether it's spawn or a bulk substrate.

When it comes to misting I try to use clean water though.  Not clean like, free of minerals, just clean like, drinkable.

I don't see why it would.  I only use tap water.



Oh right, pretty lame I guess...  :lol:

Mycelium is way better at filtering out toxins than we are.  Its entire being is one large means of active transport, so it just ejects what it doesn't like, or breaks it down into something it does like.

haha cool, no i just meant the fluoride calcifies the pineal gland and makes the human into a part zombie, didnt want my lil mushies to be drinkinking that but am only kidding, glad to know tap water is fine, although it reaks of chlorine but that can be boiled out of it i guess. Thanks man ! :smile:

I thought the mycelium was aggressive and merged with contaminants in its environment, making the consumer feel like crap if this was the case :tongue2:

There really is no need to do any of that.  Chlorine can really only help.  No toxic material seems to be absorbed into the fruitbodies. Don't assume they're anything like us.  Also I would be thrilled to read the source on your calcification claim regarding the pineal gland.  Not because I doubt it but because if it's true, I need a source to get some shit done.

The mushrooms really don't give a fuck, I promise.  They like organic matter but inorganic matter and a lot of toxic metals and other shit doesn't seem to bother them much, if at all, and since they're a giant filter the mushrooms are clean no matter what, unless shit is growing on them.  :shrug:

A contaminated mushroom does not look like a regular mushroom.  You would know immediately.  I've never had one be bad personally.

Just trying to save you from spending unnecessary money or taking unnecessary precautions.

We get people trying to give their mushrooms a gluten free diet and shit around here, it's pretty ridiculous.

Keep in mind the thing they like to eat most in nature is shit.  Literally shit, from an animals undiscriminating asshole.  So when you're trying to come up with something it wants, remember that shit is one of the things on that list.

If it'll eat shit I don't think it'll care whether its food source is organic or GMO or gluten free or whatever.  They do like gluten though, wheat works pretty well as grain spawn.

I'm just trying to drive home the point that it's not worth it to baby them in that way.  There are ways you can spoil them, but expensive crap is almost never the answer.

You should start with a basic SAB. Work with it and understand how it is working and then you can more intelligently experiment and modify the design (if at that point you still wish to.)

Because I can't be right AND agree with everybody simultaneously.  People like to talk about things they don't understand.  Why do you think this is even still illegal?  Obviously there are those who don't know the facts, or read something somewhere and decided to repeat it.  I've grown for 7 years and I've never used anything but tap water.

There's probably less minerals that they like in spring or distilled water than there are in tap water as well.

Tap water in my agar, tap water to hydrate my grains, tap water to mist my substrates, tap water to dunk them in, tap water to hydrate the bulk susbstrate before I spawn to it, TAP WATER!!!!! :willynilly:
