I confess I've been using my bathroom the whole time to do my agar in the linen closet. Like a still air room/closet with a high success rate. Waited to prove it could be done before I mentioned it cause I knew someone would give me shit for it. But actually it's great. Small room that's easy to bleach down and filter and then bomb with disinfectant with the door closed for a few hours. Then spray the makeshift SAB and make sure to use a shit ton of alcohol during the process. You gotta make space where you got it at least till I get my flow hood.

I confess when I use ebay now the "you might like" options look like the algorithm has decided I've started an underground dentistry office.

Youtube started showing me creamright commercials.
Most of my issues are with dialing my monotubs not my plates. Since I got the plastic lids I can move more fluidly and transfer quicker. I've Only had two contaminated monos all year and a few contaminated bags cause I wanted to experiment. But my oysters and lions mane came out just fine. I've never had a contaminated jar except some yeast which came from the oyster LC I purchased which was totally fine. Oysters parasitized the yeast just as I predicted. I consider that a high success rate.
Besides what have you been doing lately Mushboy. And yes I considrr bleaching my bathroom weekly to be important regardless of my mycology work.

you dont need to dial in those tubs you need to DIAL OUT. they need way more air.
good job though. but follow a tek girl. all those cube tubs are choking to death. (show off pics shouldnt have visible mold either)

I feel like noobs use bleach and lysol and all that as a crutch and it ends up making things worse. I stopped spraying my SAB, ditched the gloves, and got rid of the rack. I really believe that clean work in the SAB comes down to technique and still air. I use 70% iso all over my hands every few minutes and wear a bandana or something to cover my breath.
Bombing rooms and showering and brushing teeth and waiting hours all seems like overkill just to do some mushroom work. But to each their own. As long as it grows mushrooms

i sit above my box so my breath goes above/behind. so i can be all stinky and gross with a full cat box in the other corner and billowing weed smoke from my lungs in the other corner.
its called a SAB. not a clean air box
i confess 75% of the time i shower after i do SAB work. cause sab work can be kinda.. anti climatic sometimes...need to cool off/wank it.

I shower IF I just harvested some fruits or dumped anything contaminated with mold, or spent a long time outdoors. I don't want rouge shroom spores on the plates, so that's why I do after harvesting. I to had to work in a bathroom closet for a while. I had some really good plates for a while. I never bombed the bathroom, U would just do normal good cleanings like one should do to a bathroom any ways. I would wash my sab once a week. The flow hood still makes things so much easier and comfortable. Also I don't have to go slow, I can work at my natural fast pace. Have not had any mold issues since I started using it, before it became a real issue working in the sab in the basement.

I confess that I never gave into how many likes or views vids had on YouTube. Just because they have 10000 views and 25000 subscribers doesn't make it 'good' or 'useful' info imo. Look at how many idiots out there but into things all the time

I don't know where your seeing mold but there is no mold in any of those pics.
Also why would you put lysol in your SAB when you could jys use a spray bottle of ISO. That shit smells. That's why I just spray it around the air which takes what two seconds and close the door with my hepa on and then go out for the day.

I confess that I have been using Cloth Durapore tape instead of paper micropore. I don't know if it works the same, but didn't realize my mistake for a while. I picked up some paper micropore today.

Don't feel bad. I did the same for a long time. Durapore really isn't that breathable. Did the research. D'oh! You can get good deals for bulk micropore on ebay. I used it for labeling after till I realized the residual adhesive was too strong and I use micropore for labeling too.

I confess getting impatient for my mushrooms to grow so I decided to try purchasing shrooms on Craigslist. Needless to say the guy took my $120 and I got nothing in return
