Niceee.

I wonder if the micro heat generated by the led lighting could create micro air disturbances in your design, ending up for you with a higher contamination rate than without the lights.

I was thinking about that, which is why I'm using a controllable T6 on the lowest setting. :stoned:

Yeah but even with the lowest setting there is always a tiny little bit of heat? Why just don't just put the lights outside, like make a special window and place the light outside the box pointing to that window?

I suppose, but there's still going to be heat transfer unless I elevate the light just a tad above the new lighting window modification. It's not like I don't have to modify the box anyways. Might as well, lol

I cover the top with plastic wrap and tape the seams with packaging tape. That lets the overhead light be plenty to see.

I've done nothing but open air noccs since i started. Done well over 50 jars so far and tossed1 to green and 3 due to wetspot it's not rocket science. Meanwhile i know a guy who uses a sab and has had about a %50 contam rate. If your sterile procedures are up to par your fine. Might I add i only inoculate with syringes. And i am making a sab this weekend but i only need it for agar work.

Once you learn sterile technique and if you are not a complete moron. You can pretty much do mycology inside a cat shit box. Adleast grow cubes.

I can't imagine doing all the agar work I do without a SAB. I have very low contamination rate when I pour and complete my work in my SAB. In fact, my last 2 contaminated plates were from cloned tissue and I think I used too much.... had nothing to do with introducing contaminant to the plates through the air.

I think you could probably get by without a SAB if you never plan on fully experiencing most aspects of this hobby. If you are content with MS syringes and pf tek or even jars with SHIPs then so be it. They are used for a reason.... if you know someone that has a 50% contamination rate in his SAB, I'd love to know his set-up and technique.

That video that was recently posted of that dude cutting up his cakes with a flame sterilized butcher knife that he cooled down with his breath in open air probably has a 50% success rate...lol

LOL! He actually blew on it. Nice. Why not ejaculate on it? That's gotta be more sterile.
