He is seasoned, stick with soapy water for now.

In my opinion you could never be too clean or safe. In my last post what I stated works for me and I will keep on doing that. Bods method may work for him because he has other clean precautions in place. Maybe he has a separate room that is designated for mushroom cultivation only therefore he doesn’t have to worry as much as I do about airborne spores and contaminants. I have to prep, inoculate, colonize, spawn, and cultivate all in what is best described as in efficiency apartment. Therefore constant fumigation of the air with Lysol and Ozium is a must for this inexperienced grower. When I get home from work and I go to check my tubs and I have to open them for any reason (mist,fan,etc...) I spray(treat) the area with Lysol and Ozium just as a precaution. And as far as working in my SAB in my personal conditions… In my opinion it’s a must to do as I posted. And like I stated I have not had any plates get contaminated...As of yet! LOL let’s keep our fingers crossed and knock on wood and any other superstitious rituals we can think of. Ha ha. Good luck to you my friend and all of your grows. May you remain contaminant free! But understand, know, and accept that it does happen...even to the best and most seasoned cultivators. Peace, love, and mycelium, Ernie Ergot

Lol do ya think!?!? Lol. I appreciate you stating the obvious though brother. Sometimes we all get lazy and try to skip vital steps. Speaking for myself… I know I have and I’ve always paid for it. However when working in my SAB I go overboard with the disinfectants and use multiple. Lysol, Oziium, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, disinfectant wipes. But this is what works for me. I get very upset if I go through all the steps to grow and then get a contaminant in the end. It’s one thing if you do prep work for a particular project and it fails right away and you can start over but when it fails weeks down the road this can be very frustrating for me.

I think that’s a frustration we all share. The most frustrated I’ve ever been was when I lost 12+ monos straight right before 1st flush... I was counting on those fruits too.. sent my whole world into disarray. Made me revamp every part of my process. My mantra ever since has been “overkill” works though

"Obvious" not to noobs Brother and if you read the Dr's post, skipping it was his question.

Oh man Faht! Must have really sucked! 12 boxes! My God. I would have been very upset. See that…? Just like I stated. Even the best of us, even the most seasoned growers battle contaminants even when we try our best to be clean.
@inthepit: I hope you didn’t think I was being insulting or sarcastic towards your post. Because I was not. I was not throwing a dig of any sort. It was just a comical well said post with illustrations and an animated character to go with it. And all those bacterial spots on your plates was the cherry on top. It was perfect. I simply meant you were stating the obvious for him… “If you don’t do this you will get this”

All these chemicals make me wheeze so I was hoping to find something that might make it easier on me and found a thread talking about using the SAB dry then thought I'd check up on this thread to see if anything new was posted and yes, there was ( hi guys!).
Soooo... consensus is keep up with the ISO and bleach. Seems the solution for me is to really step up my game on techniques of good sterile/clean SAB use and decrease the paranoid-level-use of chemicals to a less fuming extent. Any other suggestions?

Hey BOD, I also destroyed a new Giant Tote Box cutting Arm Holes in it like a fool! Then I saw a Genius hang his over the edge of a counter and it rocks 10X better!

Coffee Can heated on stove tek worked like a knife through hot butter for me. Took a few reheats during the learning curve but overall was about 7 minutes of work for perfect holes in my SAB. Sure beat the dremel method I was contemplating. Thanks!

The can does make them holes perfect but there is so much burning and smell. What works better for me is to just take a torch and a cheap utility knife. Heat the plastic with the torch in a ring (or better just a part of it) just enough to make it soft. Depending on your box you should see when the transition happens, the plastic becomes more transparent. Then just cut it with the knife by dragging it along the ring. You need a steady hand to get a perfect circle but who says it has to be perfect. Just don't make it too hot or it will deform. When you heat it just right, which means just a little, you can really get a clean edge and absolutely no cracking.

Can I just ask, why do you light a torch and leave it on low outside the SAB?
Wouldn't having a flame next to the SAB cause airflow, which is undesirable?

If it is inside, it may ignite alcohol vapors/cause air movement.
Outside, you flame your instruments and they're sterile as they cool down in the SAB

When I started working in a still air box I was spraying down the inside with alcohol and sterilizing the LC needle with a bic lighter inside. Needless to say I lost some arm hair at one point and was running around my house with my hands on fire and my syringes melting inside of a flaming plastic box. good times

soapy water makes a whole lot of sense lol when flame is involved. been spraying with alchohol still and letting it sit and air out for a while then praying no explosions since.

Here is an off the shelf SAB that I use. Its roomy and has worked out great. Bought a table top sandblasting cabinet from Harbor Freight. Its airtight and I installed a small UV lamp inside and run it about 10-15 min prior to work. I did add a plexiglass floor as the one that came with it is expanded metal. I also added a magnetic LED worklight. Its about perfect.
