I’ll burn a few layers of the cling roll before I wrap a plate if I’m first starting a session or if I forget to put the roll down on the rack in front of the flow.  Theoretically the plastic under the top layer(s) have remained “clean” or at least cleaner than the exposed outside.  I store mine in a new ziplock but only if I remember to put it back in that.  Usually the turn and burn gives me enough peace of mind.  I’ve only lost a few plates out of a 100+ and I don’t know if it was because of using cling or not

Got it, thanks.

I'll give it a go before I run out of parafilm, and if I don't see any increase in contamination and get a feel for wrapping with it I might just change team. Appreciate your input.

Hey there fellow cultivators! This is my first grow and I had a very successful first grow! Although, my second flush looks a little odd any advice would be amazing! They are of the golden teacher variety.

I don't know what the fuck is up with the parafilm I get here but I double wrap my plates and I noticed half of the plates has some rips in them exposing the agar to air. I added another layer on them but I'm wondering if they are still good to use? Because it's a shitload of plates and I definitely don't want to waste them. The agar plates been sitting in the corner on top of a shelf, and if I had to guess I think the rips been there for like a week.

I want to add another parafilm layer to the rest of the plates because I see they are starting to rip but I had a long day and I'm tired af.

Idk if I get fake parafilm out here or old parafilm or something, but sometimes the parafilm is good, sometimes not. I'm gonna check Amazon right now to see if they can ship internationally. Shit's making me go crazy buying questionable parafilm out here that's causing problems.

Parafilm just kinda sucks in my experience. There's a reason why a lot of people here have switched to just using clingwrap. I myself am a grafting tape enjoyer.

I would just ditch the parafilm
