Contaminants worst enemy and my Grain to Grain strategy.
#21936987 - 07/13/15 11:52 AM (8 years, 6 months ago) |

Glade+Oust
Found at Lowes, not that expensive and saves a lot of time and trouble.
Turn off heat or AC, wait 15 minutes, spray room and adjacent rooms thoroughly. Use hand sanitizer on the walls of the SAB, load up your Still-Air-Box, hand sanitizer your jars, spray inside your SAB, let settle for a few minutes, continue with sterile work, 0 contaminates after nearly 100 grain to grain transfers.
Update!
Just wanted to add how I do my grain to grain transfers in unison with the above info. I preloosen the rings, prior to spraying inside the SAB, let it settle. Take your previously shaken (well) master grain jar and remove the ring, also removing the rings of the to be transfered to jars. Quickly pop the lid of your master grain jar and the one to be transfered too, and pour about 1/12th of the master grains into the jar. No need to be exact, quickly replace both lids, and ring up the tranfered jar.
Repeat for a dozen jars,(or more depending on your desired colonization times, taking into factor the amount used to transfer to each jar.) Once finished, remove everything from your sab and store in your colonization location. Avoid excess surfaces to furthur prevent possible contamination, or utilize surface disinfectants properly and use the tools that work best for you.

Clean transfers have more to do with sterile technique than they do with how sanitized the air is.

Check out "how I do g2g in a SAB" linked in my sig.
He suggests using soapy water to clean the SAB instead of alcohol or bleach. The water stays on the walls/bottom during clean procedures, and supposedly contams will 'stick' to the water.
My contam rates have gone way down since I switched to soapy water. I don't even use sprays anymore. Waste of time/money IMO

If grains were properly soaked, pressure cooked at 15 psi for 120 minutes, let cool, transfered to a hand sanitizered SAB, there jars hand sanitized theirself, with the air inside and outside the SAB sanitized, their would be much less contamination all around. It was my first time EVER handling grains when i utilized this method, not one single contam over the years I was growing actives.

I'm not trying to tell you what you can and cannot do. By all means, do what you think is best. I was just stating a fact. Personally, I prefer a flowhood over a SAB any day of the week but I live in a drafty old trailer though.

That stuff's useless. Just use proper technique in your SAB and use soapy water to clean it and there's no need for it.

I have also done hundreds of grain to grain transfers. Guess how much "Oust" I used......none. Proper technique and clean spawn is the key. You could put me, a SAB, and one hundred grain jars in a room lined with trichoderma wall to wall. I will do 100 Grain to Grain transfers and still come out a winner. Aerosol sanitation is far far far overrated by those who don't understand that a few log reduction in airborne contaminants is irrelevant.
Glad you are having literally a perfect success rate though......not that I believe that.

I use what works for me, and a perfect success rate doesn't lie, saying it's useless for someone it works for, makes no sense, bashing someone's sterile technique that has proven 100% success rate, makes no sense. All I'm trying to do is let people know what has worked for me, yet you strong headed folks rather criticize. If this helps one person avoid contaminants, it was worth it.

Your success is probably completely coincidental. I've done easily thousands of G2G before. Most without using any kind of sprays. I've lost a few here and there (and had bad problems at a couple points) but the vast majority have been successful.
I'm glad it works for you but it's just an unnecessary step. If you didn't use it you would likely also have success.

I also just noticed you reccomended spraying it in the SAB, and using hand sanitizer to clean it. Those are dangerous tactics. If you flame anything you're likely to blow your SAB up. Never use flammable things in your SAB.

Hence why you have lost some, along being successful, I have NEVER lost a single jar, figured I'd share what I utilize to help others, and yes it works for me, I wouldn't change a thing, regardless if I could still be successful without it, not worth the $5 unspent IMO.

If you have a 100% success rate, it was because you have excellent sterile procedure and I commend you for that. What your 100% success rate was not from was oust+glade. Be proud that you have a very good understanding of sterile procedure and leave it at that because these folks are not going to back down.

I doubt it's luck, a freshly clean room and these tactics have a proven track record for myself, in an uncarpeted room of course.

No, but you flame syringes and scalpels and such for agar work. Why have 2 procedures, one of which is more expensive and potentially dangerous, for getting the same job done?

I've tracked down my source of contams every time. Not a single time has it been because I didn't use Oust. Sloppy technique, bad starting material, missing a spot of contam in a jar, bad filter unit on my shmuv, yeah. Lack of Oust? Not once.
Contams are gonna happen once in a while if you grow for long enough. It's part of the game. You learn to track down and eliminate the source when it happens.

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.

Promoting oust is not sterile procedure and you did not state what your sterile procedure was in the op. If your sterile procedure as a whole is what you recommend than you should definitely write up a tek that has step by step instructions with a decent amount of pics to follow along with.

No offense but I don't believe anyone who says They never lost a jar. Far too many variables in place. Even with Hamloafs immaculate clean room I'm sure he gets a contam from time to time (which I believe is why he just did a major douche of it).
Just sayin

If I were you i would stop arguing with people who have been doing this literally a decade before you even registered here. Chill out and open your ears. We are glad you have success with this method. We are simply trying to prevent others from reading this and taking bad advice.
Stating one's success is arguing? Again, makes no sense. Bad advice? Yet it has worked for someone for nearly 5 years? Share one's own experience, to be put down?

I could care less if they back down or not, simply stating what has worked for me and sharing that with the community, thank you for your statement, my sterile procedure as a whole is what I recommend, Glade+Oust being a part of that, I'm simply going to leave it out and say that it has no effect which the others are trying to say. A can of glade+oust, some off brand hand sanitizer, a proper SAB, and a clean room will go a long ways.
Promoting oust is not sterile procedure and you did not state what your sterile procedure was in the op. If your sterile procedure as a whole is what you recommend than you should definitely write up a tek that has step by step instructions with a decent amount of pics to follow along with.
Did you even read the original post? Glade+Oust, hand sanitizer, a proper SAB is all I use and I've NEVER failed. Think what you want, I'll stick to what works for me, and if sharing one's own experiences is frowned upon, LOL, this site wouldn't be what it is today.

And that is fine. Our concern here is for posterity. When new users stumble upon this through a google string or shroomery search result, they will read your method and assume it is a route to success. If you could get over yourself for a second, you would realize that the MULTITUDE of very experienced cultivators on this board do not rely on aerosol sanitizers. This is for a reason and not to bust your balls.
Chill out. Enjoy the success you are having.

Glade+Oust
Found at Lowes, not that expensive and saves a lot of time and trouble.
Turn off heat or AC, wait 15 minutes, spray room and adjacent rooms thoroughly. Use hand sanitizer on the walls of the SAB, load up your Still-Air-Box, hand sanitizer your jars, spray inside your SAB, let settle for a few minutes, continue with sterile work, 0 contaminates after nearly 100 grain to grain transfers.
I have also done hundreds of grain to grain transfers. Guess how much "Oust" I used......none. Proper technique and clean spawn is the key. You could put me, a SAB, and one hundred grain jars in a room lined with trichoderma wall to wall. I will do 100 Grain to Grain transfers and still come out a winner. Aerosol sanitation is far far far overrated by those who don't understand that a few log reduction in airborne contaminants is irrelevant.
Glad you are having literally a perfect success rate though......not that I believe that.
that might be the scariest thing i've ever imagined! wall to wall trichoderma? :::shudders:::

I'm not at all in a uproar, and if it has proven successful for one's grain to grain transfers I'm sure it would prove successful for other growers alike, regardless if the majority doesn't support it because A)they haven't tried it or B) They've had success with other procedures, neither of which should be a deterrent.

Luck has nearly nothing to do with my procedure, one does not just get "lucky" after a hundred quart jars, with proper techniques that have worked for him. I'm not saying that I contribute 100% of my contaminentless to my procedure, but it sure seems to provide.

I swear you've typed the same paragraph three times now.
We know you're not in an uproar, but your amusingly childish reactions to our advice is comical.
Not to mention the hypocrisy of the this statement "if the majority doesn't support it because A)they haven't tried it or B) They've had success with other procedures, neither of which should be a deterrent."

I'm aware that I'm being rude and argumentative. You however appear to be completely ignorant of your childishness. This entire thread is your childish reactions to our advice.

Glade+Oust is a definitive part of my success, it is a part of my sterile technique, that has proven itself to work time and time again, to not include it would be like giving out a 100 piece puzzle with 95 pieces. Again, do your research, find your niche, do what works for you, this is what works for me, give it a shot.

Yet, I could've been here for a decade lurking like yourself claimed, I have all ready mentioned how long I've been coming to this site, read carefully, I too have done my research, and combined a few things I have learned to come up with my own technique that has worked for me, I wouldn't have it any other way, and I praise all of those that have contributed to not only my success, but everyone's else as well.

So after all your research and experience you rely on shitty aerosol sanitizers? I fail to see why you continue to argue this point. Waste of money, time, and introducing toxins to the environment for no reason.
Did you read what I said about one hundred grain to grain transfers in a trich filled room with nothing but soap, water, and an SAB? The reason this site is what is is today can be attributed to people exposing bullshit like you are posting. This ensures future generations don't rely on a spray, but instead learn proper procedure and more efficient techniques

Not at all, but that is 90% of my sterile procedure, I'll admit that I did leave out previously loosening your jar lids to not have to deal with wet surfaces on top of hand sanitized gloves, because that'll never happen . Preshake your jars to allow a quick and smooth transfer of grains from one jar to the other, all though this wasn't meant to be a full TEK thread, I can go into complete detail if enough interest arises.

oopse, so regretting that i jumped on this thread now. this is painful. the oust is an air sanitizer and surface disinfectant. it kills SOME living microbes, although i can't find any information about their testing or backup of their claims. its the same as using lysol spray, or any other aerosol disinfectant in your SAB. it lessens your chances of contamination by reducing the number of living microbes in t he air. However, it will not kill fungal spores or endospores, so if your technique is bad, you'll likely still get contamination but it may take longer to appear. future readers should know that there is no way to completely sterilize an SAB, so being diligent about sterile technique is more important than what cleaning products you use.

I'm not arguing at all, simply stating what works for me, I don't rely on any one thing, I utilize what I have learned and use it to my advantage, and that is my procedure as a whole. Call it bullshit, but I guess bullshit has proven itself to be successful, I can't complain. Who would with zero contams .

However, it will not kill fungal spores or endospores, so if your technique is bad, you'll likely still get contamination but it may take longer to appear. future readers should know that there is no way to completely sterilize an SAB, so being diligent about sterile technique is more important than what cleaning products you use.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, and I agree it is only a portion among other procedures utilized, not the sole part, but simply A part of the technique itself. I myself use hand sanitizer on the walls of my SAB, rings and glass of my jars, and on my gloves, along with the SAB itself, and air sanitizer both inside and outside my SAB, with great success.

"Sterile technique refers to procedures by which cultures may be manipulated without infecting the worker or contaminating the cultures or the laboratory environment."
The Oust you're using is part of your preparation.

It has proven itself time and time again to alleviate contaminants, regardless of it being a simple part of preparation, and I stand by it.

I know this falls on deaf ears and is pointless. But your responses are adorable
Glade+Oust is a definitive part of my success, it is a part of my sterile technique, that has proven itself to work time and time again, to not include it would be like giving out a 100 piece puzzle with 95 pieces. Again, do your research, find your niche, do what works for you, this is what works for me, give it a shot.
genuine curiosity: have you ever tried your procedure without oust?
A great question alas, no but I wouldn't fringe on my technique because it has a proven success rate for myself. I'm not going to fray away from something that has time in and time out been worthwhile in my endeavors.

Flogging a dead horse here, but....
Presenting this as advice, especially considering the content of the OP, is not helpful to the myriad of noobs that are yet to come. Presenting those products as a "contams worst enemy" is just plain wrong. Focus on the 90% of your technique that IS giving you those results. That is what noobs need to hear, not the idea that they can use ineffective chemicals as a crutch.
And, sorry to say, but success over a meer 100 quarts is nothing to be too excited about, and "proves" nothing. I g2g'd 63 quarts last Tuesday alone. Just a flow hood n iso. Not gonna be crowing about the 100% success on those jars...
I am happy to hear that your technique is working for you though. Try it with less chems, next time, and let us know how it goes, eh?

Why would I? My tek works for me, I'm not going to just stop now and try something different after my proven success rate. That would make absolutely no sense, especially after fine tuning it to avoid contams in the first place. , i did 63 jars last week bro, who gives a shit ? Using Glade+Oust along my other procedures has a proven track record that should be implemented by anyone looking to avoid contams.

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

I only do transfers after watching porn. 100% success. Everyone else should give it a try if they care about sterile technique.

Well what do you expect. This is a forum. People come here to discuss things not to read and keep their mouths shut. If you want to endorse a product without hearing opinions or criticism buy a banner ad. The fact that some people think Oust is less useful than you think or want to recommend you or others try something else is nothing to get butthurt over.
I know little of your situation but I'd like to point as I would for anyone who claims to have 100% success rate with g2gs, when a jar becomes contaminated during a transfer it rarely prevents it from colonizing. It can still however cause problems after spawning that can seem unrelated.

But if you've never tried it without the oust how do you know the oust is doing anything for you at all?
Everyone here is telling you that it is not doing anything and you are wasting time effort and money and telling other people to do likewise all because you feel silly now and would prefer to be stubborn rather than admit that the oust isn't needed.
At this point I'd rather believe that you are just trolling tbh.

The number one rule in science experiments is there should only be one variable. If your preperation and procedure have always been the same, how would you know what exactly is the reason for your success? How would you know you're not wasting your money, time and effort on disinfecting the air? What if you were doing it for no reason except for the fact that it gives you a little extra confidence, can you live with that? If so, why spread advice on something that your not absolutely positive that that's the reason for all of your success?

Not at all interested in inferior methods which my introduce contaminants and I doubt new growers expect anything less than something that has worked perfectly.

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

Mad Season said: 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.
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.

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.

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! 
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.

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.

Not at all worried about what you think, just trying to allow others a contaminant free environment and grow session so they don't have to be halted in their endeavors by something as simple to avoid as contams. I would highly recommend my technique and it has proven successful in the past. But I will try soap and water to replace the hand sanitizer in the future, but I will never stop utilizing the glade+oust, it has too many benefits when it pertains to preventing airborne contaminants.

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.

Unless your techniques are just limited to oust.. in which case I'm just going to hide this thread right now.

Basically I spray the transfer room and adjacent rooms with glade+oust, extremely thoroughly to eliminate airborne contams, making sure to cut off the ac or heat prior. Wipe down the sab with hand sanitizer on all 6 sides, load up my SAB, loosen the rings on the jars for easy access, then thoroughly wipe down them with hand sanitizer. Once everything's sanitized, I spray glade+oust in the SAB and let it setter for a quarter hour or so. Then I take my preshaken master grain jar, and remove the ring.
Now, quickly transfer some grains from the master to your sterilized grain jars, only leaving the lids open for as much time as needed to transfer. I find I can easily use 1 master for a dozen grain transfers. I'm sure you could use it for more, but I find that this is enough grain to ensure a speedy recovery and decent colonization times.

Huh? That's what I purposely do, it's like a fog in the transfer room, this is how you know it was done right/thoroughly. Plus it's great for a fresher, cleaner house. Great for mushroom growing, great for avoiding contams, great for the air, it's a win win. Also i wanted to add that while letting the fog settle, you can still easily see and be able to work sterily. Just give it about ten minutes or so. Clean air+clean room+SAB+hand sanitizer has worked great, but I will try soap and water to replace the hand sanitizer to save some money if it works.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant I wanted to replace the hand sanitizer with soap+water wipedown to see if I can still maintain my 100% success rate with zero contams, as you all have recommended, thanks for the tips.

Well I would imagine that if you don't have some kind of air purifier in each room of your house your air isn't going to be that clean, that's what I'm saying, that's why I benefit from the glade+oust to alleviate most of the airborne contams before I work in my sab, maybe just soap+water+settling will do the trick, I'm not doubting you guys, but I wouldn't want to risk it in this old home. The air sanitization definitely has something to do with my track record, and those in similar grow environments can definitely benefit.

Op, if you want cleaner, fresher air, build a flowhood and run it for an hour or two everyday. Air freshioners are a scam and really only mask odors.

Thanks man, no wouldn't bother with a spoon, just another surface to provide possible contamination, all though a simple wipe down with hand sanitizer would be fine, I think. A quick tap on the side of a jar, get those grains transfered, quickly cap up both jars, and a gentle shake to get things going, is full proof.

Hey mike, I'm definitely looking into flowhoods all though I don't have a lot of money to play with (not much at all) but I'll be growing edibles/medicinals in the coming months in my new grow room we recently cleaned out . Will definitely keep you all updated and I have a new camera heading my way, a hand me down from an educated photographer. I can't wait to get it and use it to show you guys what I'm talking about and also do some hunting.

you are most certainly NOT eliminating airborn contams with oust. why don't you believe 10 people with tons of experience? if you stopped buying hand sanitizer and oust, you could afford a flow hood and actually produce nearly sterile air. in the mean time, you don't need it to use an SAB. save your cash, build a flow hood soon

I will promise you this. If you build that flowhood, turn it on and leave it to scrub the air for an hour. When you go back into that room and breathe in that air, you will never want to breathe any other air again. OMG, it's almost as good as an orgasm.

Hey Mike, I'll take your word for it brother! I'm looking forward to moving on to advance techniques and technology, I can't wait to breath in that fresh goodness. I'm really excited to get back into growing, and now that I have the space and support, I going to be diving much deeper than before.

Just remember that a flowhood is not a substitute for great sterile technique.

O no, I wouldn't compromise sterile technique as a whole, just use a proper flowhood for A part of it. Thanks for the advice. I going to do some more reading on them in order to incorporate it into what I've learned and utilized to my advantage thus far. Definitely looks promising. Thanks mike.

i challenge love square to do his/her same preparation procedure without oust and hand sanitizer, just soap/water inside the SAB, and clean hands and tools (i use 90% iso in a spray bottle but i suppose hand sanitizer would work for hands and tools). then, open 10 agar dishes inside the SAB as if he/she were doing a transfer. report your results back here

Yeah i get what your saying, the hand sanitizer seems to stay "wet" on the walls for a while as well, and I agree lysol and oust wouldn't go a long way as far as keeping contams sticking to them as a surface disinfectant. I'm just utilizing it for the air and rely on the hand sanitizer (heeping portions might I add) for the surface stickiness for contams, as well as sanitizing my jars, lids and rings. I'm going to try soap water in my upcoming edible grow as it does seem far superior to hand sanitizer for what I'm using it for, and I won't deny that.

Once I dive into agar and edibles this fall, I'm going to be branching out from my usual technique due to the overwhelming support of soap water and I'll keep everyone updated on my success rate as far as fine tuning my procedure goes. I just wanted to reiterate what has worked for me and hopefully help other at the same time, as this was done in an old house, (luckily without carpet), and now that I have a great grow room, (that I'm going to clean top to bottom and take necessary precautions from everything that could possibly go wrong), I hope to take advantage of the advice here as well as my own research, to absolutely fine tune EVERYTHING, including agar, flowhood, grain to grain and liquid culture, no need to short cut anything, as these are all simple techniques and nothing should deter new growers to experienced growers alike.

I like to Lysol work surfaces and 70% alcohol everything else. Not above 70%- that won't evaporate as easily making it less effective as a sanitizer.

I give my flowhood a good 70% iso wipe down before turning it on and then a good quick evaporative spray afterward. I also use germ-x for lids, gloves and scalpel (handel) before each and every transfer because when it dries, it becomes a bit tacky which aids in preventing laminar air from blowing spores or endospores off of my hands or tools when performing sterile work.
(Edited)
I do flame sterilize.

I feel like I wasted more time with oust/Lysol air sprays instead of focusing on proper sterile technique and that was why my initial contam rate was damn near 50%. After throughly studying sterile technique and asking questions its down to maybe 10% if I get lazy. If it's working, its working whatever. It was a similar type thread that got me using the stuff when I first started like 6 months ago and it was a bummer. Congrats on 100% through 100 jars though, thats dope. Eventually something will get contaminated, its inevitable. It was after my first month or two and 150jars/cakes that I really got shit going right.
We'll all know if he's truly a troll in a couple weeks/months when we see a post saying he lost his 100% success rate because everybody told him to try it without! Lol. Like I said though, can't argue with numbers. I just think it has a lot more to do with your sterile technique being on point inside the box instead of aerosols. Next time I'd just label the thread something a bit different and maybe just approach the criticism with more open-mindedness as opposed to arguing an invalid point. No one was questioning your success, I think they just wanted you to realize it was more how on point your technique was and that the aerosol was just a superstition thing not really rooted in any kind of fact. But yeah, congrats. And you'll like agar I think. I just started this week and it seems to be going well so far, just noticed my first contam from a very dirty old print I had. It is so nice seeing them now instead of having them fuck up fruiting later.

I find utilizing the full spectrum sterile technique, both air and surface, alleviates ALL contams, but I would like to try this method while working with agar as it seems a bit more risky with outside access. I will keep everyone updated as I transfer my G2G strategy to agar work.

Even if I don't necessarily agree with the reasoning, I would love to alleviate ALL contams, I'm jealous of that 100% regardless of ho you got it. If I had that instead of the maybe 80%I'm working with(after averaging in my 50%first two months to my 90%+ now) I would have a good 300-350 more jars I didn't lose and that would be ideal.
All this contam talk is making me say fuck it and drop the cash on a flowhood asap. Ugh, $2,300 a month rent+whatever other expenses I incur monthly is really making me want to get ride if this beautiful rooftop loft already... I really think you'll like agar, it's. Fucking awesome IMHO. Makes for very fast colonization and almost guarantee no contams now. Plus it looks so cool when the plate starts to take off. I can't wait to make another 10 or so white morel plates and a. Inch of LC's to feed my soon to be outdoor morel bed for next year. Can't wait to see some shroom pics in the future.
