One issue I can't seem to find any solution while working is how tf to get a fine mist of bleach without watering down the foamy lysol I got on hand. Which brand of bleach should I use that does not foam like crazy?
What? Where are you spraying all of that...

LOL I don't put shit in mine. I know people say, "Hey spray the walls with a dilute bleach solution to attract dust and free floating contaminants. BUT I clean it out before use then I let my box sit for 30 minutes before using it, so nothing should be floating.
But to answer your question.... you could just take an empty spray bottle and make a 1:10 dilution of bleach and use that. Don't use pure bleach.

Sounds good to me. There's some who just work in dry boxes. I just find it really easy to spray with soapy water lol. I got it so I just use it

I don't think my box is totally dry (insert that's what she said joke here), because I do spray it before I set it up. I wipe it out, but the walls are still kinda moist with the disinfectant.

Who told you to use bleach? Just curious...soapy water seems to be the consensus view.

2% bleach solution is the standard dilution used in labs, etc.

I'm not using bleach. I was just suggesting if he was using bleach and was trying to avoid a mess to dilute it, but now that I have re-read his initial post, it sounds like he makes the walls of his SAB foamy with Lysol (which I didn't know was possible) then is spraying it with bleach? Maybe OP can provide a little clarity.
I have used dawn diluted in warm water, windex, and some other cleaners to clean the SAB beofre I set it up, but I haven't bothered to spay the walls leaving a light mist on the walls once it is set up.

I heard ammonia and bleach is pretty good at killing shit in small areas.

Correct- although most labs have use to other viricides and bactericides for primary disinfectant purposes.

I did several PF Tek grows without a SAB. Did three grows about a decade ago without a PC, one went green, the other two produced enough for me and my roommates. Did a few more over the past year using PF Tek Done Right with a PC but still no SAB and all went fine, but with low-moderate yields. I'm doing Frank's 12 easy steps right now and constructed my SAB and lids tonight. Out of town for the next couple days, then I just need to construct my monotubs and I'll be ready to start

The gas produced is no joke. But hopefully OP is not actually mixing ammonia and bleach. But he could clean a surface with an ammonia based product followed by a bleach based product without harm. I don't see why he would want to, just don't spray them on each other.

Kal you don't even leave the mist on the sides? Regular water on the sides of the tub has gotta be like 10x better than nothing.

I don't understand why someone would cheap out on such an easy to do and hella beneficial part of their grow. A cheap SAB takes hardly a few minutes to make.

Most of the vets here didn't start with an SAB and learned the hard way. I am sincerely pretty jealous of all the folks who come in and get it right the first time. I fucked with spore syringes in open air with SHIPs for like a year or two before I made a SAB, and then it took another year or so to start with agar.
Or you could skip all that, and be as good as most of us are at growing, by just listening for a week. Glad there are people who choose the better option there.

Hey Innoc what size is your sab. Looks tall but not very big. How much can you fit in there an work comfortably. I got a 109 qt. It's plenty big but not very tall. I've hit the top of it more times than I can remember, doing g2g. I've been thinking of making a new one, with plastic hanging from a shelf that sits over a dresser. I'd have plenty of room then, but it would be in my cellar. It's not a finished basement, I have put monos down there with success, but that's a different story.
