I had a much higher rate of contaminants with my grain to grains and agar work when I used lysol + oust.  I focused so much time 'sanitizing' the air, SAB, table, carpet, room etc.  When I would finally get to doing the work I would be tired of cleaning and light headed from all the fumes and bleach.  Seemed like a huge chore to get anything done and kinda took the fun out of it after awhile. 

What really increased my success rate was calming down, doing a quick wipedown with water + soap, and focusing on my technique.  I setup, take a quick shower, and am ready to go in 15min. Beats sealing myself off in some hot sweaty closet and coming out smelling like a chemical factory.

Okay now I understand.

I always start wondering how is it possible not to get what so many people are saying?
truth is its not. Its been stated so perfectly clear and no one is too dumb to get it by now; The oust doesnt matter, you havent even tried without it.

Conclusion; OP is trolling. Fuck off troll.

and to anyone claiming 100% track record, grow more shrooms :lol:

All I use is soap and water. Not any sanitizers. If you follow my sanitary tek in my sig, you'll see what techniques are. I would advocate my sig way more over a bottle of oust any day of the week.

Next up, how many jars have you done? Also just because you haven't thrown a jar out, doesn't mean it was completely clean either.



You didn't even read this did you OP? Also when I was at 100 jars, I thought I had a great success rate too. Looking back I realize almost every damn jar had bacteria. A mushroom smell doesn't mean shit. Look for ANY wet grains or a thick white cottage cheese look in the mycelium.

Sure I'll use oust next time. It won't improve my success rate though, which is already 99%. That's why we say it's useless. The only 1% is due to my own fuck ups. Making mistakes, dropping stuff, or having my hand hover over open media.

If you had contamination problems while using Oust I suspect it's from spraying it directly into the box. Nothing stirs shit up like a stream of pressurized gas. Spraying a little around into the air before you work shouldn't hurt anything. Got to keep in mind though Oust kills bacteria in aersolized water droplets like what you're constantly exhaling, not so much on bacteria on dry dust that you might stir up so there's the opportunity for it to be counterproductive if using it as a surface disinfectant.

my green socks didnt matter and your oust didnt matter. at all. still air is still air you cant clean the air so any attempts at using
that to reduce contaminants is futile.



:whathesaid: when air is still, everything settles. Why would you need any air sanitizers when everything SHOULD be settled on the bottom or stuck to the walls.

Yep, I was much more concerned with cleaning then I was with just letting the SAB sit there and do its thing. 

Also nothing like trying to do agar transfers while pouring sweat in a full tyvek suit in a foggy SAB while your light headed from chemicals and shaking from all the coffee you drank cleaning.  Done with all that stress, and it shows.

Best SAB spray is a mix of bleach, water, dish soap, and jet dry. Once you try it you will never go back.

Fill the bottle with water most of the way, then add 2 tablespoons of bleach, 2 tablespoons of dish soap, and a tablespoon of jet dry.

this is obviously written by a guy who dont know how a SAB works :shrug:

The responses he's getting should tell him so but it seems OP have shut off and just spews out repeated BS.

If you havent even tried without its just moronic to think the oust does the trick.
Its as stupid as considering what color socks to wear when harvesting for best potency. No more green socks, all the shrooms were bunk! :mad:



you hit this one on the nose.

When he said he wouldn't even consider trying it without oust I knew it was hopeless. I'm starting to think that OP is 100% pure troll. He knows to use soapy water and does IRL. He's just successfully rustling our jimmies with his feigned retardation.

You think it won't happen...just wait. I used SAB's in the same way that you do now when I first started, alcohol and oust. Took a long time to happen, but when you get your first glove-box fire it scares you straight. Burned all the hair off of my arms, singed my eyelashes/eyebrows badly, and lightly burned my face. Not to mention the potential of burning your house down :yesnod:

I started out the same way. Then over time little by little I realized a lot of it just wasn't necessary. I'm always a little hesitant to make recommendations based solely on what's worked for me because I know we're all working in different environments but some stuff is clearly overkill.

wow, y'all sure know how to beat a dead horse....but here i go joining in the beating...

so, op, listen up. a "still air box" (SAB) works by creating a work area with no drafts (the air is still). when air is still, the particulates settle out. that is why your contenders here are saying sterilizing the air is unneccessary. you place your items in the box, let it sit for a minute to let the air settle, wipe the box clean on the inside, let it sit a while longer, then sterilize your tools and jars etc right before you work, and you'll be fine with good sterile technique. so, because you let the air settle, cleaned the inside of the box, and didn't introduce any more air, your SAB is as clean as its going to get. no flammable aerosols needed. make sense?

That's why I said let it settle for 15 mins. I'm getting a lot interest in my technique from those wishing to experience less contams and want to utilize my technique. Just follow the simple steps I have laid within and remember folks, this is for grain to grain transfers only.
