Never buy from scientific laboratory sites, it's always overpriced.
Offtopic but, I also use pyrex glass petris 90mm diameter, I would never change them for plastic ones.

Oh, I could find a way! Having a wheel fall off a loaded rack in the lab- 300# trying to crush you and the flowhood...
Sounds no bueno. If its within the suggested weight load, i would call the manufacturer. Thats really not supposed to happen as long as everything is rated for the weight you are using. Be safe and cautious; being broke and having no mushrooms farm is better than having money and a farm, but being crushed and ending up with permanent physical damage. Thats why alot of ghetto rigged setups scare me. Careful out there!

In the 5+ years that i have owned the glass dishes, i have saved alot of money over purchasing plastic ones. Not to mention better for the earth with much less plastic in the landfill, no shipping pollution or pollution from the processes used to create and package the plastic dishes. But i dont deny the "ease and safety" of plastic dishes, and i use the 3 section ones once in a while.

you should have seen my first grow op. damn near killed me and the old lady trying to dismantle it, so I bartered with an illiterate drug dealer/contractor to do it for me. 10ft stacks of cinder blocks supporting conduit shelves- WTF was I thinking!? with rope lights woven in between the pillars of blocks.

Yea I was just looking at their bags, but man a $14 Fedex shipping charge for 50 bags seems outrageous. Anyone know if you can fit more of these bags in a PC than the quart jars? I've got a small 19qt presto that will hold 7 WM quarts with 4 or 5 1/2pts on top laid down sideways. If I can fit more bags in that would be awesome.

Why quart bags? Just get medium or large bags and do two bags per load. And with the shipping cost try adding more bags to the order it may be more effecient per bag if the shipping stays the same.

I'd rather have 7 different qts of grain spawn than 2 6qt bags of spawn. Let's me run more variety. The s/h charge only bumps up a $1 for 100 bags, so it does make the shipping more cost effective, but as a hobby grower I' not trying to spend $100 on bags at the moment. Need to price out some of the shroomery sponsors.

they are the only US dealer of saco2 bags. unicorn doesn't make bags that small, the 4 series is the only thing that comes close. they are sold to hobbyists as 'small' filter patch bags. holds about 2-3# of grain.

Everything mushrooms has 4" x 3" x 18" unicorn bags with .2u filters for $0.60 each if you buy 50-99. With $8.85 shipping for 50. They are the same price as the other size bags though. I think out-grow usually has these as well, but they only have them with 5u filters right now. I had a couple of these when I was gifted a few 1lb bags of spawn. I was able to reuse them twice before the bottom corners got pinhole leaks that I discovered while rinsing out the bags after use. I don't recall exactly how much WBS I got into the bag, probably 2qt jars worth. The original 1lb of spawn that came in mine left alot of extra room in the bag.
