Are Newbs Not Using SABs?
    #22485891 - 11/06/15 12:14 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

I took a short hiatus from cultivating but am back now after a few months. I've been active on the forms for 3 days now and have found a TON of people not bothering to use SABs. Whats going on? Where are people getting the idea that open air inoculations are smart? :shrug:

Don't mean to be a downer. Just concerned.

Now, I dont use a SAB.  I shut all vents off in my shower after I take a shower and then wait until the humidity is gone.  Sort of like a still air bathroom.  At first I thought that may be my problem, but all 10/10 jars?!

I am building a SAB now, but I feel like that can't be the cause as all of the brf jars were fine in the bathroom.  WBS could be totally different though.

Well I too inoculate in open air even though its one of the worst ways to do it. ( my SAB sucks) but if everything is getting infected its probably something else unless your sterile technique is that bad. Are both spores from the same vendor purchased at the same time? Maybe the print was dirty. If I had a problem like yours I would definitely turn to agar to zone in on the problem. I think that should be your next step. If the agar has spotless growth you know its not the syringes.

I only use mine for grain to grain or agar.  Otherwise I have ships and sfds on my jars for needle injections and do those outside sab. No issues yet.

I'm a noob myself, but a SAB was the first thing I built. I mean, why not, a cardboard box or plastic tub, plastic wrap, and some tape.

I didn't use a SAB. Tried inoculating in my kitchen; made everything as clean as possible; got bacteria and metabolites. They were rye berry bags, and they were part of a kit...I know better now.

I'm sure the kit had a lot to do with it, but opening the syringe in kitchen air to put on the needle didn't help. Doing that probably ruined all those GT spores.

My first SAB was a clear trash bag. Considering how cheap and easy it is, and how much it increases the likelihood of success... I don't get why people try to cut that particular corner.

My current SAB is made of 1/2" HDPE and aluminum box tubing, with LED lighting:

Nah. They fruited Ok. There were just a lot of metabolites and growth was painfully slow.

Did you ever see that contest I ran years ago where I gave people all the crap to do it right if they posted the worst fuckup story? Never did hear how any of those people that won wound up doing.

A few of the people who posted in it went on to do quite well for themselves though by simply not doing anything new until they were good at doing something old.

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.

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'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

It took me all yeear before realizing what I lacked - a sab. I litteraly thought cakes were the shit haha. 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.

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.

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 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 :cool:

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.

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.  :shrug:  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.

108qt.  A balance of tallness and wideness is good.  Gotta have enough room to put one jar on top of another at least.  I think I can stack 3 quarts or so before hitting the ceiling.  You can see the size scale with the quart jars and dehydrator next to it.

I think a tall box is also a benefit because contams naturally move toward the bottom, and if you lift your work up slowly toward the top before opening it, it's clean as fuck up there.  Since I open my pasty plates and stuff sideways I always lift them up high first.

I violently stalked Shroomery (most accurate way to put it) for weeks before my inoculation . after my inoculation . while waiting for colonization . and when they finally pinned I've been on Shroomery multiple times a day everyday .

Im not sure if i wanted to make sure i did it right or if i was just horrified of the thought of growing mold/bacteria

Nuff said.

Just because you dont use a SAB doesn't mean you are doomed to fail. Sure you get more contams than working in a SAB but nothing close to the 90% contam rate that OP claims. Granted a SAB is better than a clean closet just as a hood is better than a SAB. Second quote in OP's thread is me and he conveniently left out the part where I said that good tubs here are not as easy to find as one might think and that I would rather do my work in a SAB if only I had a good one to work with. Took me 3 supermarket trips to find my 50litre tub (Which is pretty much all the good supermarkets when living in a 300kmsq country) which is pretty much useless for sucking up LC or G2G. As I told OP I am having pretty good results while being extra careful with my inoculations. Im sure im not the only one.

Yea I wouldn't mind it  if the lid was straight. If it was one or the other it wouldn't be a prob. But both is a freaking PITA. You cant work with it right side up cos you cant see and you can't work with it upside down cos ull end up knocking everything over.

I have an 108qt and the lid lays out just fine. I only knocked my plates over after I took them out of the SAB.

I think the larger it is, the better the lid lays out on a flat surface.

Have you not.. looked at my SAB?  It has no lid.  Are you seriously letting lids be a limiting factor?

I took the lid off my SAB and put a window in it and used it for a monotub instead.  My first SAB had arm holes in the lid, that wasn't the best design overall because of the incline.

The 108qt tub incidentally has the same lid dimensions as the 75qt or whatever it is, came in handy for me at least.

The extra insurance the SAB adds is worth every penny to me.  Nothing sucks more that inoculating, waiting a week or two, then finding contaminates on your cakes.  I'm not saying an SAB will take care of everything, but I'll take what ups I can get in this hobby.

Yes definitely. Hell if only I had the cash to get a hood I'd make a bonfire out of my SAB. Even though id have to make another one for contaminated plates lol. My 50l SAB infuriates me that much.

Hopefully with what Inocuole just shown me I can go buy a big ass one now. Hopefully under 50euro :rofl2:. Im always amazed at the prices most people get their totes at

I wouldn't get rid of an SAB just because I had a hood.  I wouldn't use it as much but a SAB is always usefull.

Yea ud still need it for contaminated plates I guess. But I wouldn't use it if I could. Dang thing is so uncomfortable and hard to see in. With a hood there is nothing restricting your view.

Yes it is more ergonomic. But you still can't be sloppy with procedure. An SAB is pretty forgiving.

You rocking a hood now tiger?

Hmm seems like it was hard for you judging from the pic :rofl2:

Nah didnt say it was hard to make. Its hard to work in. Not everything mind you but for example making a transfer off a bacteria contaminated plate is hard to see. I end up peeking through the arm holes holding my breath lol.

I'm still waiting for the research to come back on a shmuvbox effectiveness before I pay $400 for a blower behind a HEPA filter.  If I go for a hood it's going to be actual laminar-flow and I'm going to have a dedicated room to put it in. (This might actually be happening soon :wink:)

I've been using the shmuv for a year now. Lately, I have not had contamination that I can't explain through my own technique.

You can't just keep adding fractions upon fractions of slightly-more clean air to hope it will protect you from your own sloppy human hands. 

Technique is everything.

Yah the hole on the right looks like a ducks head from birds eye view lol.

Luckily I used a big metal can to burn holes in mine before I learned how brittle these plastic boxes are whilst doing sgfc. Ended up using solder on that one too.

The one time I used a can on a stove to burn a hole in things I can honestly say it was one of the worst mycology decisions I ever made.

I knew there would be fumes of plastic smoke so I set a the 105qt tote right next to the open screen door (completely open).

The cloud of plastic fumes that ensued made me cough.  Then it set off the smoke alarm in three bedrooms.  I have never coughed so hard while getting all my smoke detectors to shut up. 

I don't know what I did wrong but the reaction between the hot metal and the sterilite tub was on par for the most cancer-ous causing moment of my  life.  I've gotten a CT scan of my lungs (with my obama care) every six months since then. I said that lung cancer ran in my family(it does) and explained my history of smoking. I needed it as 'preventative care'.  Insurance companies will gladly pay a thousand dollars now if it will save them 20,000 dollars in the next 10 years.

The point of the story is I will happily get a sore arm from hacking at a clear tote with a steak knife for an hour before I ever burn a hole in a tote.

Also if you're going to do the hole burning method take the entire project completely outside because you will get cancer if you don't. Something tells me Supalemonhaze's experience was positive so he probably did it outside.

Also Supalemonhaze! SAB's are annoying to work in! :nodofunderstanding:

I used to g2g and shit in open air. I don't think inoculation is so bad in open air.. But IMO what's the point if its so easy to make, and work in a sab (very clean environment too). But anything like g2g, lcs, and agar should definitely be done in a sab.

Lmao loving the cat hideout. I did mine in the garage. It has a pretty high roof and a powerful extractor fan so the fumes didn't really overwhelm me. Didn't use the fan while doig SAB though that took 5 minutes so it didn't bother me enough to switch it on. Now the SGFC on the other hand. Now that took a long ass time of inhaling plastic  before I was done so I used all the help I could get :rofl2:.

I wouldn't worry that much about lung cancer from your one time experience with burning plastic. I used to hang out with a friend of mine to help him while he was working (self employed tow truck driver). He would tear all the wires from cars before he sold them for scrap and when he got a good bunch of it he would burn them to get the copper. I never got to checking for any kind of cancer but I don't think cancer is caused so quickly by something unless its like radiation. Im still in my early 20's though so I guess older people especially those that smoke would have a better chance of something going wrong. I would worry more with cigarettes than plastic from your one endeavour. I smoke also so im the last person to give advice about them. Never really managed to quit. Don't think I wanted to quit even when I tried if that makes any sense.

Hah. Thank you for sharing this. Seems like I have someone who can confirm what I told this guy

Quote:

*censored one two*


No, you are wrong, and you're ignorance is detrimental to noobs who might be reading it. For the lazy noob open air inoculations will work on BRF cakes, but this is only because BRF cakes have a dry layer of verm inside the jar that serves as a filter. It is ridiculous to say that 26 jars will fully colonize after being inoculated in open air. This would never happen, one should expect a >90% contam rate when inoculating in open air.




Said guy just wouldn't listen when I told him its the other way around if you are careful enough. He barely believed that my jars are actually real. Although later he apologised for talking the way he did (so it's all cool now) but I got the feeling that he still thinks open air inoculations are doomed to fail. Honestly I dunno where he got that ratio from. One thing I definitely do not do is swear on something I have no experience in. Even if I know it is right. I still say I never tried it or have a lack of experience in it. How can you be sure of something you never done?

Yeah Mad Season, hopefully now I can get the biggest box in the store and be able to do everything in it including as azur would say it " you could fuck a hooker in it" or something more decorated. :ahahaha:. Too bad it's sunday I would go get it right now.
