Where do you get a good spray bottle in New Zealand, which is also resistant to isopropyl? My Mitre 10 spray pump bottles keep getting the pump dissolved or something, after a few months. I guess the iso or ethanol attacks the parts inside.



I use an old deodorant spray bottle. The original deodorant was in ethanol :shrug:

Thanks Bobbit. I'll get some of those lids.

I ended up getting the 16 qt cooker because the 23 qt was out of stock. It should still be able to fit 7 quart jars in it, which is plenty.

Where did you get the SFD from?



I got mine from aus




Cheers.

I ended up using a double layer of felt from spotlight. It worked okay.

I ordered some SFD stickers from microppose.

Also ordered some similar stickers from amazon.

Microppose also sell SFDS. I might give those a go.


As it turns out, aliexpress is a great source of supplies. The shipping takes a long time but so does everything else in this hobby, lol.

I am brand new to shrooms and growing this year. I bought pre-sterilized agar plates but it is cheaper to make your own.
I saw somewhere that you can use glad containers instead of petri dishes and they are safe in a PC... Apparently.
Anyway here's a link

Yes I do, I use these PP5 containers. I think they're sold mostly to takeaway shops for sauce pottles.
I took them up to 21psi accidentally the other day, and they were fine. https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/microready-small-round-takeaway-containers-70ml-100-packx10-case-pack-2177989
And here are the lids. https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/microready-small-round-takeaway-container-lids-100-packx10-case-pack-2178150
Blackwoods are good, you can pick up in store or they post.

100 pack x 10 case pack

Just to make sure, is this price for 1000 pieces or just 100?

That would be really cheap if it was 1000 but sounds to good to be true.

It's just 100 pieces for that price. They're strong enough to reuse if you want.

Yeah actually I got some plates from this guy. The guy running the shop is a bit of a knob tho tbh. Costly but was a good intro to agar.

I've used some officemax condiment cups and poured using the oven technique. Ended up with 100 plates and about 10 of them grew contams.

The cups are too small making transfers was a pain.

Also tried some PP5 containers for no pours which were ok but the condensation was annoying. No contams though.

So far with PP5 containers either the lid is too hard to open or it opens too easily :\.


Just poured 20 petri dishes yesterday. Hopefully they don't contam - pouring them was difficult but its a learning process :O

It was a major pain pouring them in an SAB. With more practice, it will be easier though.

Was just curious to see what you were all using.

Seems to be advantages and disadvantages to no pour and pour agar.


Flow hood would be a god send. Gotta start saving $$$
With a flow hood, pouring petris would be so easy

These look good.

Did you have any issues with condensation?

Are the lids easy to get off?

21 psi haha, they must be solid containers

Nope, they don't.

Agee utility and perfit jars both use 92mm lids.
All other brand of jars (Ball, Simon Gault, Quatro, etc) use 86mm wide mouth lids or 70mm regular mouth lids.
Agee special uses 86mm lids.


After using the metal lids, I absolutely do not recommend them.
The lids are flimsy and easy to dent and will not last longer than 2-3 cycles, imo.


These plastic lids combined with silicone sealing gaskets are perfect.


If you search trademe for "perfit" you will see a few auctions for plastic lids that will fit agee utility/perfit jars. They don't have a silicone sealing gasket but they should be fine for grain spawn.

Kia Ora all!

(I hope this doesn't count as necro'ing this thread lol)

I am brand new to mushroom cultivating and I seem to have gotten into it right in time to miss the mushroom hunting season.
I was hoping someone would be able to help me suss a couple of spore prints locally so I don't have to roll the dice on importing them. I'm based out of auckland so if anyone can help shoot me a PM.
Cheers and best of luck.

Join the Kiwibensis FB group or there's a discord server with good vendors from aussie. Spore prints make it over here fine.

Ok. I didn't want to start shipping prints over here with no idea weather or not they were gonna make it across the border. Cheers for the heads up.

Personally I don't use facebook for mushroom groups, or really anything illegal, because it's not exactly private, and your name is public.
