I HATE SAB'S!
    #22495373 - 11/08/15 11:59 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Whenever I use one, i work meticulous to keep everything as clean as possible. Half the time the projects, whether it be G2G or agar work, end up all over the bottom as I have never had to do anything more cumbersome in my life. The other half of time when the projects don't end up all over the place, my hard work and time results in contaminates anyway. I think I'm going back to old school syringe to grain jars until I can afford a flow-hood. Just a rant

My latest failure haha:

If you think a flow hood is gonna be easy you might be in for a nasty surprise. If anything a flow hood is tricky because you need to have just as tight of procedure, if not better. I don't have a hood, I would like one for sure, but I am quite sure that years of toiling in a SAB will serve me well by the time I get one.

:whathesaid:

Pasty plates are nice in a SAB cause they don't spill :lol:

I feel your pain, i placed my arm holes too close together so now i feel like im working with handcuffs on :cheers:

Even doing pf-tek i have spilt two jars all over the bottom!

Very true. I think my best bet would be to master the SAB, but I need to toss this crappy one and make one way bigger so Its at least somewhat manageable!

Do a couple dry runs to get your technique down..that way you know exactly what and how you are going to do it...otherwise you are just freestyle SAB working, and all sorts of unforseen crap happens.

there's an easier way to work with agar:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19208976

i tried petrie dishes because someone gave me a bunch of them a long time
ago, but i too found them difficult to handle.
the tek in the link offers an option where the agar has solidified
before it gets to the SAB. 

i have found that to be very helpful.

When I started using one practicing what I was going to be doing helped a lot. I would put everything in and go through the motions without opening anything before spraying the SAB and actually doing the clean work. It helped me see what the hard parts were going to be instead of trying to figure out what order to do things in and trying to maintain decent sterile technique. It helped me to get my tools and jars lined up and in an accessible part of the SAB so I could reach everything I needed to use with whatever hand was going to need it.

I have to agree with you OP. I used to use SABs and they were more of a pain in the ass than anything else. In fact I almost lit my house on fire once because of an SAB. I was trying to be a sterile as possible and so I had a rag soaked in alcohol in my SAB and I flamed a needle, only to set the rag, then the whole box on fire (Stupid, I know, but I've learned my lesson). The entire box turned into a ball of fire and my hands were stuck inside, so I frantically was trying to get my hands free, flung the box on the carpet and almost set the carpet on fire... that was a scary moment.

Anyways, since that day I have forgone the SAB and created a Still Air LAB. I literally set up my old MMJ grow tent (4x6x8'). I clean the hell out of the inside the night before then lysol the entire thing. I make it as clean as possible, then I pressure cook/sterilize a tyvec suit and mask. So when I go in there I'm as clean as possible. That way I can work without restriction to my movement. I've found this to work a lot better, but I still do deal with contamination from time to time.

I live in a tiny little apartment with 2 large cats.  I only have a 6' x 2' space to work in.  I hung a white shirt over the vent and closed the shirt holes with a hair clip.  Honestly, it was disgusting how fast that shirt turned yellow, and I don't smoke inside.  Smelled awful too.  I sent some prints off a few weeks ago taken in my SAB, and they turned up with no contams.

Wow that sounds traumatizing! glad your alright! Love the idea of a SAL btw, the SAB just isn't big enough for efficient work. I've never had a part of the hobby i've disliked as much as working in these things :grin:

Dude, I am totally new to this hobby (2 months) just like you.  I have already knocked up over 100 jars without any contams yet, by just using an SAB.

What I do:
I literally spray the inside of my SAB with Alcohol 70% till its dripping on the walls (Dont wipe it dry!).  Leave the inside of the SAB soaked, and dripping with alcohol while your doing your transfers and inoculations.

I maybe new to this and I don't know if this may be some good advice to give to you, but it has worked well for me so far.

Be careful with that much iso and a flame source/hot tools. It can lead to :onfire:

Bleach or soapy water really do work good for a SAB and you are much more fire marshal friendly :lol:

Personally I think spore syringes are easier. It may take 5 days longer for the spores to start growing but much less chance of contams. Cap>print>syringe>inoculate.
Also you don't have to use petri dishes.. half pint jars would as well and won't over flow.

Yes.  Place your flame source (alcohol lamp) far away, but still within arms length from your SAB.

Unless of course the spore syringe is full of contams. Which happens a lot. In fact it's pretty much impossible to guarantee a syringe won't have any contams at all.

I know, still less of a chance imo. Plus you can make your syringes very dark giving you way more innoc points.

Well, I know one thing that could help you. Having petri dishes sit on that uneven plastic on the bottom can definitely result in catastrophe as its not the most stable surface, especially when your arms are moving the box around.

Turn the box over, don't use the lid. So even if your box moves around a little, the items you have in the box are still on a non moving surface such as the table you are working on. Vision through the bottom of the box could be an issue, so I cut a huge rectangle out of the bottom and hot glued a nice piece of thick transparent plastic in place of it. I also added a line of hot glue all around the top edge (bottom when u are working) of the box, so it sorta holds to the table when I'm working.

Capisce?

I would use different gloves, ones with long cuffs. Your skin could be  getting into the air,  and skin has lots of microbes growing on it.

Also, your walls are dry. They should be coated with soapy or bleachy water.


As for a hard surface. I would recommend buying a smaall piece of thick, heavy plywood, wrap it something non porus like a thick garbage bag, taping it tight, and put that inside thee bottom of the  SAB. Make sure it fits inside the bottom of the SAB in the best fit as possible.

All these should help u out.

Dont tell me bout contam issues dude. I really dont wanna hear the word agar right now. This is this weeks work all for the trash. Except for the jar. That one is older


Some of the worst contaminated plates



This week was a nightmare. I have never been so careful yet I have never experienced this much contams.

At first I thought this is happening because of a faulty sleeve


But then I made a new batch after cleaning the shit out of my SAB with bleach and soap and im still getting this fucking yellow mold. Its really starting to wear me down. For one I cannot afford to keep buying new shit every few days. And on the other hand you start to lose interest in something when all you get are losses. Worst part is I don't know wtf is this yellow piece of shit mycelium and even in contam forum they couldn't name the bitch.

Today ill go make one last buy at the supermarket for a bigger SAB but if I dont get a win soon I will throw all the agar related shit in the can. The funny thing is( makes me wanna cry tho) I knock up my jars with LC in open air and do agar in SAB. I never failed this hard with grains which make it so much worse.

I feel you man atm even looking at my SAB makes me mad as hell

Got pint jars. Only 7 wide mouth though that are short enough. Rest are ball which are kinda tall to work with.

I dunno If I can't get it to work with what I have I am definitely stopping there as far as agar goes. Sucks but anymore of this and ill go crazy.

Do you know what kinda mold it is by the way? That's what driving me nuts most.

I hate using a SAB as well. :smokerage: I don't know that I can accurately convey my rage.

I went out of my way to purchase a 116 quart Sterilite tote and staggered the arm holes using a hole saw set for comfort. It is still an unbelievably clunky process to use it. Even the process of filling a syringe with LC inside of there was enough to make me want to throw it off the deck. I cut 4" holes and my arms ended up getting stuck as well. Talk about pissing me off. :mad2: I tried knocking up grain jars with a 60cc syringe with a 4 inch, 14 gauge dispensing needle in there too. Screw trying to do that for 11 jars. I ended up doing half of them in open air. Next time I'm going totally open air. I'll recut the holes at 5" and try it again for agar in a week. So far I've had zero contams in open air.

Stupid SAB. :whippedcreamhead:  :cantwashthataway:  :drunkdriver:  :suckmydickbitches:

Knocking up jars in open air is not so bad if you do it right. I tilt the jar slightly and peel back the tyvek just enough to see the hole. The tilt and position of the jar makes sure that the tyvek still covers the hole from above. Then I insert the syringe and cover that with the tyvek while I  shoot LC in it real fast. Dont have many contam issues this way.

Dang you have trouble sucking up LC with a 116quart SAB? Thats one of the reasons I was going to risk buying it. If agar doesn't work out at least I can do my grains and LC's in there. I am using a bigger smaller syringe though so I guess we'll see.

You could try lowering your PH to around 5.6 so your medium is more selective for myc instead of bacteria.

was a total accident lol, was just going to run them through the pc because they were all contaminated  plates and i i figured i would clean them before putting them away and was running the pc for agar anyway....pulled the agar out and 3 jars with 10 salad cups in each and thought"why not just pour these fuckers" lol

Dang you have trouble sucking up LC with a 116quart SAB? Thats one of the reasons I was going to risk buying it. If agar doesn't work out at least I can do my grains and LC's in there. I am using a bigger smaller syringe though so I guess we'll see.



I know, right. Sounds like I'm handicapped. :facepalm: In truth though, I was using a half-gallon worth of LC and that particular LC jar has Polyfill stuffed in the top for use as a GE filter. That means I didn't want the polyfill getting wet at all for fear of contams getting wicked in.

I was trying to hold the jar at an angle so my 4" needle would reach the large cluster of mycellium on the bottom (didn't use a stir bar, just marbles). It was a hell of a process to get the syringe totally full. I had to actually lay the entire LC jar sideways to pull it off. Thankfully the polyfill is stuffed in there so tight nothing leaked out.

I'm sure the whole process would have been much easier if I wasn't using such massive tools (half-gallon jar, 60cc syringe, 4" dispensing needle) and if I had a proper LC filter and stir bar, but I was making do. :shrug:

I hate using a SAB as well. :smokerage: I don't know that I can accurately convey my rage.

I went out of my way to purchase a 116 quart Sterilite tote and staggered the arm holes using a hole saw set for comfort. It is still an unbelievably clunky process to use it. Even the process of filling a syringe with LC inside of there was enough to make me want to throw it off the deck. I cut 4" holes and my arms ended up getting stuck as well. Talk about pissing me off. :mad2: I tried knocking up grain jars with a 60cc syringe with a 4 inch, 14 gauge dispensing needle in there too. Screw trying to do that for 11 jars. I ended up doing half of them in open air. Next time I'm going totally open air. I'll recut the holes at 5" and try it again for agar in a week. So far I've had zero contams in open air.

Stupid SAB. :whippedcreamhead:  :cantwashthataway:  :drunkdriver:  :suckmydickbitches:




I feel the same way, I used a sab for about 2 years but in the past year? I used it once, and that may be my last time. I hate doing sab work with a passion, I don't know why I just feel very restricted and clumsy in them.  I had a large tote, armholes spaced apart nicely, still hated it.

My problem with LC in agar was also a big jar ( I think a little bigger than a quart) but mostly it was cos my SAB is only 50litres. Thats why I ended up doing eveything open air. Was still using micropore as a filter lmao. I think I didn't experience disaster with it because I only made it from 200ml of honey water since it was my first lc and I didn't know better. Hopefully ill have better luck working with pints and a bigger SAB. I really hope agar will work out in the end too. I think its most rewarding and fun part of mycology and a shame not to be able to do it.

I'd be more concerned with how you gonna play with agar!
when I just take a cpl prints I just sanitize a small ice cream box and flip it over a towel. prints inside, under shotters if its pans/tiny caps species.

A 50 liter SAB? Jesus, I probably would have snapped my own neck trying to fill my LC syringe in that amount of space. It'd definitely be worth an upgrade. Stealth is pretty much out the window with something around the 116 quart size though and the price is enough to make you think twice.

I've been very interested in agar lately. I can't wait to try it. I agree, it's gotta be rewarding to clone some massive shrooms or to even save a dirty culture. :laugh:

Ive been using a 58qt SAB forever and last night I cut arm holes in a 110qt tub and its friggen great I feel like a dummy for not doing it sooner ive been doing jars 5 at a time without the proper headroom for g2g transfers now I can prolly do 20 quarts at once!! And without letting my sab settle 3-5 times per session from reloading jars/supplies big ass SAB FTW:nyan:

Yeah, no joke. It took me 3 years of working a miserable job to save up enough to buy the supplies I've recently acquired. Everytime I put together a list of things I need for this hobby I feel like I'm buying weird stuff too. "Yeah, gotta buy another strainer!" "Gotta buy a scalpel and a big box of garbage bags!" "Need a hole saw to drill up a tote!" :facepalm: I look at my SAB and wonder what people outside of our hobby would think of it. They'd probably be wondering what the hell was going on. :grin:

Build a better still air box managed its cumbersome its too small, and if you cant keep it clean maybe you don't understand the concept :shrug:

I work mostly with a flow hood, and its awesome, but the motions are almost identical. The only difference is you have air blowing towards you, so you have to be even more aware of your movements, as anything that comes between your work and the filter can blow contams into your sterile work, while in a still air box moving something over top your openwork might drop contams off into it, or if you stir up the air the same might happen.

That being said its easy enough to work in front of FH but if you dont like SAB work you probably wont like flow hood either

I think hood would be easier for me. Granted I'll still need time to get the hang if it but at least nothing blocks your movement and your sight. I always end up pouring agar on the gfloor in the SAB lol. As for keeping the box clean. Umm itsa box just spray it with bleach water scrub the shit out of it with clean paper towel and respray it to work in it after a few mins. Can't really call it hard. I was really happy when I found that torn sleeve cos at least I could name the problem. Ever since I started using plastic petris my contams doubled. I should be recieving a batch of sleeves from another supplier so I might pour in those to see if they are the problem. Unless I had already thrown my agar in rhe thrash. I guess we'll see. Theres just so many things that could be causing this. I thought of the airflow since my SAB is too small.(just recently started using a glass bottle almost as tall as the SAB. maybe 1cm clearance) Thought maybe since the holes are almost at its roof level maybe the steam from agar is escaping from there making it come in from the lid at the bottom which in turn blows contams up. Even thought about that since its small my hands are creating more disruption in the air than optimal even though you have to work slow while pouring. Most of my old contams were from transfers so they probably were coming from my technique and I can live with that since it takes time to get the hang of any technique. But from pouring? Can't really fuck up 20 plates at a time just from pouring especially since all had went well in the past.

And then it's the type of contam. Usually I get a mix between trich and bacteria. Now its almost always this yellow mycellium. Driving me nuts.

I dunno hope it goes well tomorrow

Agreed. You would definitely have more dexterity/range of movement with a flowhood. Even with just having a larger SAB that's true. It only makes sense that you would perform better (at least movement-wise) without being so constrained.

Good luck tomorrow. :thumbup:

If you think a flow hood is gonna be easy you might be in for a nasty surprise. If anything a flow hood is tricky because you need to have just as tight of procedure, if not better. I don't have a hood, I would like one for sure, but I am quite sure that years of toiling in a SAB will serve me well by the time I get one.



I disagree. Working with a flowhood is pretty damn easy. Yeah you need to maintain good procedure. But, keeping your paws downstream of any sterile items is pretty simple. Just keep it in your head to never pass any object between the flowhood filter and your work. If you work fairly close to the filter face it's pretty easy to manage.

Working in a SAB isn't difficult, but it is uncomfortable and the workflow blows compared to a flowhood. No gourmet operations use SABs, that I am aware of, unless it's someone just starting out. They soon realize that a SAB is only slowing them down and limiting their options. Not what you want when you're trying to run a business.

I still have my SAB, but I only use it to work with contaminated cultures if I need to.

I poured 100 petris this weekend in front of my flowhood and it was a breeze... literally.

I wasn't trying to make it sound like an SAB is better than a hood. But if people think it's anything more than an ergonomic asset they will probably be disappointed.

Main reason I have yet to aquire one is I simply do not have an appropriate place to set one up, in a room not full of carpet and all the gross stuff that comes with it. My SAB however works fine in such a space for what I need it for.

Perhaps you have need of 100 plates a week but most hobbiests do not. Nor do they need to produce 300 quarts of spawn a week. For someone like the OP, who sounds like he has yet to pull off more than a couple grows, a flow hood might be a pretty big expense especially given its size and need for a fairly dedicated space.

Given the specific nature of the OP'a situation, I would suggest sticking with the SAB for the same reason people suggest the pf Tek for noobs. Of course he may decide to get a hood and love it and all is great. But if it turns out that he has no more success with it than the box, and decides he no longer wants to pursue the hobby, then at least that's one expensive item he didn't purchase.

I think if you stick to this hobby long enough it's worth getting a hood if the SAB is uncomfortable to work with. I guess it's just preference though. Some people are born to use a SAB and some can't use ot to save their life. So far the bigger SAB seems to be better but I guess we'll see if any of my new transfers contam. I will definitely invest in a hood in the future when I get back on my feet moneywise(regardless if I have more luck with SAB or not). Nothing massive you know just something small is enough for a hobbyist cus as you said we dont need to make a huge amount of stuff at a time.

Btw I think OP hasn't posted I a while. Might have gotten confused on that one.

I dunno if I was born to use a SAB but to be honest I never really had trouble with it. My biggest issue at first was not having wide enough holes cause I used a four inch diameter hole saw and my forarms were almost tight. But I got good at just using my hands and keeping my arms still so by the time I upgraded to 4.5" holes things were easy.

Where did you get these agar plates from? Can you PC them? They look nice.

Dont tell me bout contam issues dude. I really dont wanna hear the word agar right now. This is this weeks work all for the trash. Except for the jar. That one is older


Some of the worst contaminated plates



This week was a nightmare. I have never been so careful yet I have never experienced this much contams.

At first I thought this is happening because of a faulty sleeve


But then I made a new batch after cleaning the shit out of my SAB with bleach and soap and im still getting this fucking yellow mold. Its really starting to wear me down. For one I cannot afford to keep buying new shit every few days. And on the other hand you start to lose interest in something when all you get are losses. Worst part is I don't know wtf is this yellow piece of shit mycelium and even in contam forum they couldn't name the bitch.

Today ill go make one last buy at the supermarket for a bigger SAB but if I dont get a win soon I will throw all the agar related shit in the can. The funny thing is( makes me wanna cry tho) I knock up my jars with LC in open air and do agar in SAB. I never failed this hard with grains which make it so much worse.

I feel you man atm even looking at my SAB makes me mad as hell

Plates are just normal plastic plates with homemade agar. I added food coloring to see contams better. Yes true you can expect some contams but lately agar has been a bitch. That time I had the torn sleeve I only saved 2 out of 18 or so plates. Hopefully the torn sleeve plus the small SAB was  the problem. I didn't used to have this many contams on agar before

Bummer man. Wishing you luck. What type of alcohol  are you using? one time I used a no name brand of disinfectant to wipe down my SAB and it caused me problems for months before I realized it was "environmentally friendly" and didn't kill bacteria worth a damn.

a SAB is all about the still air anyways, killing 99,99% of 100 billions still = way too much nasties.

spray, dont wipe, you wanna trap the contam spores from the air to the walls of the sab.
