Just got a cheap, 2 1/2 inch ratcheting PVC pipe cutter. It turned a roll of saran wrap into 9 little rolls for wrapping petri dishes in about 3 minutes.

Sterilized bulk substrate mix (straw pellets, hardwood pellets manure, coir, and some perlite, ratios in my journal) in pp5 containers, with self healing ports and syringe filters. These are 800ml.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08YXLY93M

Syringe filters are for air exchange, ports for inoculation with LC. Working with some exotics, they didn't like to colonize grain well, and if you manage to get them to, they don't recover well from a shake.

Neoxalapensis, for example, took 4 months to cover some millet+perlite. Sometimes it just never takes to the grain. But it can colonize other substrates much faster. So I'm trying to close the loop faster, inoculate from LC directly to the container I'll case and put into fruiting.

The biggest issues I've been dealing with in this approach are container deformation and the sealant used for the ports/filters. E6000 glue is the commonly recommended solution but it's been shrinking/cracking for me. The clear stuff, and I'm in Canada, so I'm suspecting there could be a formulation difference.

So I tried RTV high temp silicone this time.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Q3QN5KC

I'm pretty confident I could sterilize grain in these containers as well, but they're intended to be a one step solution to be fruited out of. Hopefully they last, but they survived one run so far.

I will be watching this to see how the LC takes to the substrate, for sure.  Very innovative.  Hope this works.  Thanks for posting the links to the products you are using.

Would be cool if those containers end up withstanding several cycles through the PC.  Rtv ought to keep those filters adhered.  Did you scuff the glue-site with sandpaper before glueing?

I don't know if you have a Menards anywhere near where you live, but that same RTV is under $5 there. Menards is my new favorite place for this hobby. Tubs, jars, lids... Literally half of what Amazon or Walmart charge for jars.

Thanks @alligator, no Menards in this part of Canada, but I appreciate it, I'm going to look around for better prices.

@hamloaf will do, likely going to start a new journal on these. To your question yes I sanded around each hole, and the RTV is holding up nicely, nothing peeling away yet. Hopefully they last.



Just shot up these neoxalapensis, baeocystis and papuana (all quite weak growing on grain) with tested LC. Before I invest more time in the approach I want to see some growth.

For all you European growers or aspiring growers who still think that getting a pc like a Presto 23qt or an AA is difficult or even impossible, I'm writing this to convince you that it isn't and that it's a very economical option (in my case with the presto 23QT 01781).

I just had to connect to amazon.com with my regular amazon.fr account, it cost me less than 210€ (220$ approximately) and it took 9 days after the order date for it to arrive at my door. 

Here is the beast :



I still don't have certain supplies for doing my sterile work because I want to do things right, but not having to think about whether a pressure cooker is suitable for this hobby or not is a real comfort. Really.


I just got mine and I'm similarly excited. :rockon: It's such a high quality PC compared to a short lived T Fal I returned, or really any PC I've ever had in the past (but those were always smaller ones). Really glad I went for it and I really have no plans of for any future upgrade to an AA after seeing the quality of this one. This one seems like all I need.

Glad you invested, it's going to be totally worth it!

We really need to figure out a way to smuggle pressure canners into Europe, the import tariffs are insane.

Crime is good.
