Best way to clean spawn jar lids
    #26868077 - 08/07/20 10:27 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hi

I had contaminated jars in my previous spawn jars, and I know that it was because I didn't clean the lids well enough.

How do you guys clean your jar lids? I have lids with injection ports attached with silicon, some has synthetic filter discs etc. Should I be afraid of getting any of that wet? How do I make sure that all the previous stuff is cleaned off. I can imagine some gets stuck under the silicon as well?

Soap + warm water and any remaining contams should be killed when you run the jars through the PC next time you use them

I don't clean my lids, doesn't the pc sterilize everything?
As long as there is no debris preventing the lid from sealing properly, I don't think you should worry about it much. You should see some of the lids I use. They look pretty rough lol.

Do you use spore syringes directly to grain jars?

Same. I just get any oats/bits of myc off the lid and let the PC do the rest of the work. If I get mold in a jar I dump it, spray it down with the hose outside and then I'll use some soap and water.

Soap, water and a sponge. If your previous grow was infected, use some bleach-based spray cleaning solution.

I don't even bother to clean them. I just figured that everything is killed in the pressure cooker, so unless I have something growing on the filter I just reuse them as is.

Another vote for no cleaning of lids. How much time you got for wasting?

I DO use fresh micropore tape every time. I wouldn't trust that shit for more than 1 PC cycle. I just tape over the sticky mess that the old tape left behind tho.

Now they are good for storage

With modded sfd lids sometimes they go in the dishwasher if they're fucky other times a quick hand rinse and back in a box till I'm ready to use them.

i dont really clean either more than a good wipe to remove anything stuck to it after breaking the myc up. and i still use the same jars ive been using a long time now but since they still have injection ports that i dont use cuz i drop agar wedges to knock them up with. but il take either my finger or a pointed object of some sort and pull out the cpl individual grains that tend to get stuck up in the port during the shake/breaking up process

It wasn't because you didn't clean the lids well enough. I just give a quick clean with soap and water, but seriously that's not even necessary because you will PC the next time.

I never use SFD's. I don't know whether getting them wet is a problem. Shoving polyfil into the hole is a 5 minute nuisance, but it works every time.
