Scared about inoculation
    #2425139 - 03/12/04 06:50 PM (20 years, 20 days ago)

Hey guys, I'm about to start my first attempt at growing.  I'm using PF Tek & B+ strain.  I'm just scared about contams while I inoculate the jars.  I plan to do so in a large closet which is rarely entered.  Of course I plan to sterilize the shelves on which I will be working, am going to take a shower beforehand, wear gloves/mask/hat, sterilize needle w/ 91% achohol & flame, and will being working wearing only my boxers.  What do you guys think?

Should I be this frightened of contams while inoculating?  Is my only real concern of contams, after sterilizing jars in a PC, the needle when it passes through the vermiculite layer?

I'm looking for a little reassurance/tips about sterility of this plan.  Thanks in advance for your thoughts!  :biggrin:

ya man just flaming the needle and whiping with alcohol and a quick move to the jar/bag is all you need.
the biggest thing is to make sure your substrate is sterile thats the hardest part
and its not that hard

I can't do it naked, I never know when a pube might fly into the air & onto the syringe.  I was wondering if anyone even noticed that part about the boxers...  :smile:

Make sure to tape up the "frontal opening" on the boxers.  Those pesky pubes have a mind of their own, ya know.
:wink:

I hope you've clogged up all your body's openings with polyfill, you never know when some stray contams will come out.

The easiest solution would be to either shave your pubes, or just rip em out. Also check the taint/anus for stray hairs, they can be pesky.

I like to dip myself in wax prior to innoculation.


Just for fun!

I hope it went well.
I took roughly the same precautions you did and I innoculated twelve jars with one hundred percent success, first time, too.
Granted, they took over a month to colonize (seattle winter!), but zero contamination completely rocked my world.

I'm not really worried about my damned pubes!  :shake:
Oh well.

I just didn't understand why some people who took precautions with PF jars got contams, and didn't want it to happen to me my first time around.  Thanks for all the attention though.  :cool:
