I’m being a little silly and hopefully not too critical,  but I do see this a lot. People trying to change processes and reinvent things that already work so well it may as well be actual magic.

You can take a $10 tote from Walmart, put arm holes in it, and do lab grade sterile work on your kitchen counter. The universe is on your side. No need to complicate things

I am going on record and saying yes I did! Remember back when I had a FFU in my 5x9 grow tent where I was doing all my grows and work in? I was blasting all kids of air in a giant SAB! Thanks to the community for sorting me out! Learn from my mistakes.

Did you put a towel down with soapy water and mist the walls with soapy water?

That's completely unnecessary, running a box dry is perfectly fine and a lot of TCs do it including me.

Well that’s good to hear. Something I had definetly seen mentioned on here before and have been doing it for a long time.

At least using a rack is still recommended I would think?

Absolutely not, that is garbage and not sufficient.

Yes. It’s garbage. Was it my way in before finding shroomery? Yes. Was it a better option than premade grains? I’m going to say yes. Which was my only point had I not spelled it out clearer. My bad.

Is it ridiculous and absolute dog shit with all the other good tried and true methods running around shroomery? Damn right.

Almost ever issue I’ve ever had in my SAB was due to me being careless and bumping the box or hovering over my plates/jars. I was thinking it was not cleaning my SAB enough, but it was just my movements.

Splittinghairs said:

lol. No. I totally get that.

It’s a cringe thought that I even started there. But YouTube and Reddit were easier places to “find information” and took me a solid year of mediocre growing before I stumbled on this place.

And it’s completely justified to make sure it gets the pee pee slap it deserves.

PLEASE STAY OFF REDDIT AND YOUTUBE!!

But I do have a legit question with the soapy water. Are you saying no towel and no soapy water? Just a good ISO wipe down will suffice?

I was legit also asking about the racks. If it’s one less step to take I’m willing to do it.

This is where the real growers chill. And sometimes we get a lil hate for it. Is what it is. 

You know what they say, "those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

I throw out some ramblings when i have the time or motivation.....

Dry still air box and torch on recently cleaned table surface, completely good to go.

I'm embarrassed to admit that my worst results were obtained back when I was religiously scrubbing the walls of my SAB. Not that I think the cleaning CAUSED the problems. That was definitely more due to my shitty sterile technique, working in a shower stall, and spraying my SAB with <shudder> LYSOL.
