Reusable containers 1

I love wreaking havoc with 3% undiluted hydrogen peroxide on contamination colonies on my experimental agar projects with refurbished agar containers. I keep it in closed container in separate room from my grow space with still air environment (My kitchen shelf) I cleaned the container with dish soap, a little bit of (as it appears not enough) bleach and iso. Next time I plan to submerge the container in 5-10% bleach solution for couple of hours as I did with my reused petri dishes which appear successful thanks God I picked them from a solution with tweezers, dryed them on a rack in a closed container and moved in SAB when dry enough. I will post updates when reused petri and container will fully colonize. This is for the sake of spirit of ecology

This image shows aftermath of operation Peroxide.

Sadly I live in a country with poor plastic management infrastructure and most plastic goes on landfills. Whatever the case, I try to avoid using those "single use" containers anyway and reuse it whenever possible. So I recommend to you.

 Or get some PP5 containers and re-use them.. or if you want to, you can always repurpose any old glass jars you may have around the house (jam/jelly, pickle/relish, etc..) if you use either glass or pp5 you can sterilize them in your PC and get a bunch of uses out of them.

I use 8oz deli containers, get around 5 uses out of them, then off to recycle.Glass is nice but they are a pita as they slid around and lids dont sit properly like plastic petri. Stay away from expensive Glad mini rounds, they warp quick.

Yes I use exactly those jars alongside with petris. Using glass petris too. I have only few of them and see no reason anymore not to reuse plastic plates too. These have fully colonized without contams appearing. There are also poured dishes left in sleeve in SAB alsk clean proving that my cleaning technique works 100%. I use chlorinated household bleach solution of appx. 1:50 or about 20ml in 1l water

And this is my jar. I believe this should be the case of classical tomentose mycelium:

And this is the update for contaminated container I have decided to still keep for the case of peroxide experiments on contamination and mycelium. Mycelium had hard time recovering from heavy peroxide overuse but it has finally recovered and continues growing:

I'm using PP5 ziploc twist mini 118ml. They are good for no-pour because of the twist lock mechanism.
