So question for you mycologists out there, can a cardboard box be used as efficiently as a plastic tote?

Cardboard is very hard to see through.

Lmao

Of course with a transparent lid on top

Just wondering how cardboard will absorb moisture so using a cardboard box as a SAB is counter productive

I'm about to make my first sab in just a few actually. I tried yesterday without a hole saw and just tried heating a knife to melt/cut the holes in but ended up cracking it of course lol. So I almost considered just using a cardboard box just this time but than woke up this morning and thought why be so cheap! I could just go back to the store buy another tote and put holes in it with a decent size can heated on the stove. I have been looking at diff SAB teks and such on this forum the last couple days and that method with the tote and making the holes with a can is the easiest most efficient  way for the price that I have found.

I really don't recommend using a cardboard box.  You can if you must but, it's important to isolate your contamination vectors and having a soggy cardboard box right in the middle of everything is going to make figuring out cause for contam a little harder.

:shrug: I used a cardboard box for the better part of a year.

I also had some relatively good success with it. Going so ghetto will really force you to improve upon your technique. I taped a saran wrap window to it, and only did my work very close to the ceiling of the box. I won't say it was foolproof, but it worked.

DON'T spray the inside of the box with alcohol or bleach or any of that garbage. Those fumes can get pretty crazy with cardboard if you do! Plus, you don't want a flaming SAB, which almost happened to me. Which is what made me realize that saving $10 on a plastic tote was idiotic.

TLDR; it works. But you're much better off getting a plastic tote.
