I also use two stickers for max protection and also to keep grain from sticking to the bottom of the adhesive side of the sticker on the outside of the lid.

you lived in *a* house with a gas oven.  I have personally experienced my CO detector going off when drying peppers in the exact manner discussed here.  erring on the side of caution when people's lives are at risk is always the best practice.

mr piggy, you have a zeal for reflexive opposition that kneecaps your actual expertise.  it's a prevalent theme in your response posts and as a fellow human I'd recommend you address it.  it really diminishes what you could be.


Aww buddy, you're just upset you give growing advice without the actual experience to know what you're talking about and get called on it.

Important point being raised:
If your house burns gas/natural gas/propane/oil/coal/wood, get a multi gas detector. Sleep better. I have 3. The only time one went off was when I was running a generator, outside.


It blows my mind that people don't have them in homes :shrug:

I have a bag of verm that I want to sterilize for use as a cssing layer. What are my method options? Will these work?

Bake in oven
Sterilize in pc

I've read that grains need to be properly hydrated for them to reach sterilization temps on the inside. Does this apply to verm as well, or can I do it dry?

Thanks y'all



Verm is expanded at around 1200C if I recall correctly, so you can blast it at the highest heat setting if you like. No way you'll do damage to it.

I was once an advocate of no heat treatment of verm, up until someone (can't remember who), enlightened me a bit. Imagine all the crap that's been transported alongside or in the same containers, trailers etc. as the verm... ughh...

Yeah it's just maximum security, I have had some of them fall off.

It's less about doubling up on the SFD, and more about stickers fail.


Thanks for the replies guys. I'm doubling the stickers tomorrow.

I just love the clean look compared to RTV and SFD:shrug: Makes sense they are not as strong though I guess.

Very cheap though so not the end of the world I guess.

Ordering a bunch more soon so I have plenty of backups.

Tha is again everyone for putting my mind to ease:hug:

and again, the risk associated with running a gas oven for hours and hours and hours with the door open.  carbon monoxide doesn't play around.

I'd go extract->freeze if I found myself in the same boat.


:justno:

I lived in a house that had a gas oven running all the time, it is not an issue.


We ran Coleman stove lantern combo 24/7 when in the field to keep our tents warm. You'd get "tent eye" from time to time but that's about it...other than the odd tent fire.:lol:

So I have some jars I inoculated with agar a couple days ago.

I can see growth around the agar which is good, because the plates I used were I probably 2 months old and dry af.

This one jar though has some growth that doesn't appear to be near to any agar wedges. I'm afraid it doesn't look like cube myc either.

Here is the bad jar:



Here is a jar that's looking better:




Should I just throw it out? Or should I let it ride? Like maybe some myc fell off and actually started colonizing that area? Or is this just the bargaining stage of grief?

Edit: It's hard to see in the pic, bu there is streaky myc on the jar I think is contamed. It almost looks like the inside of the jar is scratched.

I use a propane buddy heater indoors when the power goes out, never had an issue.  It's almost like things that are designed to be burned indoors do that without killing people... or something.

The Buddy heater has some safety features like an oxygen depletion sensor and tip-over shutoff, it's not a replacement for a carbon monoxide detector but i use mine in my camping tent and indoors when needed. As far as being in the field, medics had heat and AC in our tents.

I knocked these up about 10 days ago. Each wedge was about quarter sized. How are they looking and when should I shake?
