Looks like youโ€™re living the dream. All Iโ€™ve got is about 5sq ft of bedroom space.
Iโ€™m a pro at stacking tubs now though:rofl2:

You just gotta make what you got work. Ill be honest though working out of the bedroom or the closet is the most fun when you look back. I miss the struggle. It gives it more of a thrill and you end up feeling more proud of the product.

I got carpet too, hippie style:stoned:
Contam rates are under 5% for sure. Donโ€™t run enough tubs to know exactly.

This is my trippy floor couch (and a blob that looks like a horsey :snowman:).

On plates? Idk alot better I had a long period of contamination. Couple years where I was battling it. Besides that though im doing good. Ive had 2 plates contam since I started back up. One was from a very old sleeve of petris that had holes in the sleeve. One of the plates from that sleeve got bacteria in it.
The other was a plate I passed my hand over while pouring and got penicillium mold.
I dont really concern myself with BE or contam rates because I do this for fun im not running a lab or company where efficiency matters.
Yea carpet sucks but its not a deal breaker when it comes to growing. If I wasnt in a rental it would be gone though lmao.
Ive been growing for awhile with carpet though im used to it.

Most definitely. Thank you contams suck but going through a severe outbreak can make or break a cultivator. If you dont let it break you then you can learn alot from it.

I got carpet, cats, a litter box, a bunch of storage, and a door to the outside.



Little to no contam. Of my last 100 petris I went through I don't think any of them caught anything that I didn't put on them.

Iโ€™m the same way, carpet and dogs everywhere.

Footpath is that rig how you do your pc? Ive been looking at portable options instead of a stove and just saw the little hoses with a burner on the end recently. Wasnโ€™t sure how they work though, I started out thinking something like a portable camp stove but the smaller the better.

A fuel tank with just a hose and burner would be great.

Damn gizmo that SAB is great, I just got into g2g fairly recently and the height on yours is sweet.

I use one of those 2 burner camping propane stoves. Works amazing. Also I dont trust Pressure Cooking indoors. You do something wrong and you can make a bomb. Heats the room up like nobody's business too. Doesnt help that here in Florida its already 100 degrees all year round.

When I worked out of an SAB I learned that Microfiber towels make a huge difference when it comes to contam rates when compared to normal towels for a base

Yup. Just a small outdoor burner that I used to use for brewing. (If you happen to want an 8gal kettle, can't really beat this combo deal.)

Just hook it up to a propane tank like you would a grill, light it, adjust the regulator, and go.
If you're using an aluminum PC, they'll say not to go over 12,000 BTUs, so just don't crank it and you're all good. Mine is usually only set to the very low end of the regulator, so I imagine I'm not pushing anywhere near 12,000 BTUs

I use it every time I can because we have the shittiest glasstop stove that takes me like 3.5+ hours to do a 90 minute PC cycle.

Sure! A lot of the times when using an SAB people place a towel under the box to help catch any debris or dust in the fibers to limit contamination. This usually kind of helps as long as you aren't moving the towel around and flinging it back into your work flow. I suggest using a cheap microfiber towel as it really traps dust and debris far better than a regular towel.

I have to use a dining area that's open on one side, carpeted, near the front door, and the back wall has a washer/drying closet and a HVAC return.  I have two 99 cent plastic sheets- one covers the HVAC/laundry wall, the other encloses the space.  Looks like that scene from E.T.  It only takes a minute to unroll the plastic and tack it up.



It actually keeps the air still.  A couple shots of Lysol, good to go.  The only contams I've noticed so far (aside from possible bacteria in jar that came in in a needle) came from cloning a fruit, no surprise there.

My "grow room" is the top shelf of my closet, six feet wide, that comfortably holds six dub tubs side by side.  I installed a narrow shelf above that for jars.
