I have 5 of these shoplights, they're only about 6-10$ at hardware store.
I put in 6500K bulbs.
Will light 25 tubs

I have a spare room, I usually put a stack in each corner to balance the lights but I'm sure you can figure something out

I use a powerstrip on a timer. I used to do stacks of 5 but I prefer 4 now

I am talking about Parafilm, not Saran wrap.



We know.
Parafilm sucks. I seriously think people only use it for the bling bling factor to feel like a scientist in this hobby. Honestly having worked in labs, I vastly prefer saran wrapping my dishes... Easier to put on, take off, cheaper, faster, and not fucking with peeling a backing off is priceless.

Regardless of the size roll you use 2 or 4 inch you cut strips that work....


As for side pins, I get like 3-5 side pins first flush. The second flush has like 25% side pins and flush three is like 50/50

Really? I love parafilm :shrug: I use cling wrap just as much though

Side pins are actually great sometimes, usually when I do get them the pins come in very densely packed and they grow tall


Ugh. Ran a few tubs to test my PESA clones. 3 / 3 all mediocre at best . the 3rd tub was slow to pin, but put up big clusters everywhere. Unfortunately they're retarded mutants, the cap grows funny so they just get short and fat like KSSS but uglier :rofl: the hunt continues!

The backing sucks but parafilm for the win.  Just cut it ahead of time....I have a pile of strips ready to go.  Leave the Saran Wrap for your wife's leftovers.

Right. But 2" wide may be problematic for wrapping a standard size petri. Maybe 4" is ideal because it can go around twice? I have no clue, just looking for standard choice in our hobby.

I researched both Parafilm and Saran and decided Parafilm is better.

Parafilm is such a pain in the ass. Maybe my roll is just old but it tears so damn easily.

Saran wrap is definitely easier to use, cheaper, and more durable but I feel like it lacks
the GE abilities of parafilm just a tad. Nothing too noticeable, though. I still wildly prefer
cellophane

it's not rocket science dude it's scissors



if you have 2 inch wide cut a 4" strip then cut it in half so you have two strips that are 4 inches by 1 inch

if you have 4 inch wide parafilm just cut off a 1" strip

I used to have problems getting the backing off, now I just rip the end a little and the paper comes right off.  All syran wrap does is piss me off.  Each his own I guess :lol:

I switched to 4 section petris partly to reduce the amount of plates I have to use, this has helped a ton

:cookiemonster:




I was under the impression that the strips were separated into the pre-cut lengths and not one continuous strip, e.g., cutting the 2" version like you said would result in 4 strips. Thanks.

Will a bacteria contamination in a mono tub substrate cause small and deformed shrooms? I got amazing pinset, but they don't grow but 2 inch, substrate is 2 inch deep. Was a MS that was cleaned up on agar, or at least I had believed it was, possibly had some hidden contamination as I have lost 3/6 tubs to trich. So probably bacteria in sub right?

Why not the 23 if I may ask?

I was stuck between the two but decided on the 23 qusrt presto

They'll both probably fit the same amount of jars. Mirro sounds like a great deal. My presto was double that price
