yeah no that's what I do. I don't spray it though, I just wipe it with a soapy wad of paper towels.

The soapy water just goes away a little quick for my tastes. I still get through procedures contam free but I'm wary of taking too long because of this.

I guess I could just keep a spray bottle in the SAB and re-spray if needed..

Considering spores can survive the vacuum of space, I would assume it's safe to say that mushrooms are on every planet waiting for the right conditions to present themselves. What it all boils down to, is aliens are on shrooms.

Why not try mixing water, soap and alcohol and find a good ratio?

I'm just going to set everything on fire and inoculate inside of the flames.

:awehigh:

Haha Lysol is an interesting soultion though. I'll probbaly just use soap and water but spraying the area with Lysol beforehand might be an idea.

Thanks again for the advice everyone :hatsoff:

Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

Haha i was actually serious  :creepylurker: I haven't tried my first grow yet but i was planning on spraying down the sab with antibacterial soap, water and a little iso and spray before doing work, letting it sit awhile so the air i spray is semi sanitized from the antibac soap and diluted iso mix and just let the alcohol evap while the workroom is settling  :awehigh: haha hopefully i don't blow the place up

isopropyl alcohol only effectively sanitizes at a mixture of 70%. 50%, 91%, and 99% are only good for cleaning bongs. I don't have the link handy, but it was lab proven.

regardless, you don't need to waste this substance on such an act as sab preparation. its simply a waste of money and resources.

Ethanol is alcohol lol. :thumbup:


but not the same kind of alcohol right? ethanol is poisonous as far as I know thats why they use it. Might have read it wrong and all they do is add something else to the ethanol.

Ethanol is the stuff you actually drink. 40% alcohol in your vodka or whiskey means 40% ethanol.

The poisonous one is actually methanol. That's the stuff added into denatured alcohol to make it not fit for consumption. It's the reason moonshine is dangerous.

Yeah, they will add some agents to ethanol that is not sold for consumption. That way it can be sold without booze tax.

IIRC, they are adding some bittering agents, not methanol. And, while you should remove the methanol from moonshine, it's not very dangerous. Ethanol is the best cure for methanol poisoning and relative amounts in moonshine (if not separated out) are about the same as with beer and wine.

Moonshine = dangerous is a myth that was spread during prohibition and lives on in the US prohibition where people can't freely produce their own alcohol. I live in a country where moonshine production is legal and very widespread. I facepalm a lot when I see how some people are doing it and none of them have gone blind or died. The only poisonings you hear about from time to time is when people actually do separate it out but don't label the methanol bottle correctly.

The only real moonshine dangers are coming from the prohibition of it. If people could get access to proper stills and could do it out in the open, there would be no dangers. If you have a leaky still and you're doing it indoors because you're hiding from someone, yeah, that's a fire/explosion threat.
