Alternatives to iso
    #26956633 - 09/26/20 07:49 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

A friend of mine recently received a toxic chemical fume complaint because of the fumes of isopropyl alcohol from his in-home grow lab. Recently, I've also noticed the smell making it's way out of my place sometimes too. Any ideas for ventilating in such a way as to remove the odor or alternatives to iso for disinfecting?

Ethyl alcohol. Smell like a distillery not a lab..dunno what to tell you.
Honestly if they are using that much ISO, that people are complaining, they need to figure out their clean technique a bit better and lay off overcompensating with ISO

ISO is not a substitute for poor clean technique.

Overusing that shit will actually cause you more problems than it helps solve..

Hydrogen peroxide. in a spray bottle.

OR

Diluted antibacterial soap. In a spray bottle.

I use soap in my SAB instead of iso. iso is very flammable, especially atomized and mixed with air in a closed place like an SAB. Could form a low-explosive bomb if the conditions are right.

I'm amazed people use it for that.... with flame sterilization, it seems like a bad idea.

I spray the inside and top (bottom) of my SAB with the soap solution from a mister bottle before I work, and get few contams. Works great.

I also use a UV flashlight to help find contams, esp when agar into grain jars, and when pouring colonized jars into sub.

sometimes I use a camera wipe with iso to wipe off rubber gloves if I want to reuses them. But never for large scale decontm.

I do spray my workspace with lysol before working, which has some kind of alcohol, but it has a lot of other things that kill germs, so you don't need as much alcohol. Plus I let the small room sit ten minutes after that before working in there.

Keep iso fumes away from actual grows. It's bad for the shroom grow.

I really can't fathom how much alcohol it takes to receive complaints lol. Like from neighbors across the hall?

You're welcome. Lemme know how it goes. No one else is recommending just soap or using a UV light, and I'm new but they both work well.

Shit I didn't even read that one before bod nixed it.

That would be hilarious if it weren't terrifying.

that's like kitchen rules 101.

Any bad advice I've given might cause lower growth.

No offense, but no one is recommending them because they're not good suggestions. Use a ten percent bleach solution in a pinch.

Yo, my honest apologies everyone. No harm intended, just a very dumbass move. Read this on another forum when researching what to do when stores around donโ€™t have iso. I used it myself, ha, glad Iโ€™m good. Anyhow I deserve the reputation damage and I love you all.

No idea besides open windows to remove odors but the best alternative to iso is impeccable technique in a still air box or in front of a flowhood

I've been using antibacterial wipes for the outside of jars and the SAB. I don't know if I' really an expert though
