COFFEE FILTERS

Has anyone tried using coffee filters (perhaps two) instead of micron filters? Could this possibly work? I wonder about the moisture.....

No, because when you actually use a coffee filter to filter out the coffee some of it gets through.. filter discs filter to like .01 microns.. if im not mistaken.. so you'd only be asking for trouble with coffee filters.

yeah, thats why I thought maybe using two to reduce the porousness.Your probably right but I think I'll give it a test on a couple of jars. Cant hurt....

Nah, wont work. Coffee filters arent even meant to filter out very fine coffee grinds, and they'd definately be no match for mold spores.. I work at a Starbucks, trust me :)

I hear this question a lot now'n'days. The short answer is no. You can double, triple, even add a fourth or more coffee filter but it will never provide like a filter disc would. Just order some for gods sake. They are extremely cheap right now and throught the month of october he is doubling his orders. So you order 15, you get 30. You order 100, you get 200.

I am confused. Are you being sarcastic? Sorry, I was not aware of exact ammounts and was too lazy to go and check.

NuShroom, you provide a valuable product for amateur mycologists, and charge a fair price for that product.
what is the problem? The beauty of commercialism is that if you don't want to buy something, you don't have to.

No one needs these filters. If you can't colonize a few jars via the PF tek, then you should quit trying to grow. Damn, FOAF
sprays some lyslol, observes cleanliness and inoculates. Hell, he even tries to see how much of that he can get away with without any problems. Guess what, after 3 years of this, he's never had a problem. Keep your costs down.
If you have $ to burn, then by all means, send it to a vendor.
But for any of us poorer folks, a generic can of lysol costs a lot less than a micron anal protector!

Hey Nushroom, i PMed you and you never got back to me.. i was asking why you dont send them to Canada? I want the filter disks because I dont know what else to use for air circulation in my terrarium. This is my first time growin and with 6 jars of B+ and 6 jars of Equador I have a 100% success rate so far. *Knock on wood* so i dont think i need the disks for that..

The only problem with this is that not everyone wants to grow using the PF tek. For grains, these filters help a lot.

I doubt its just thin styrofoam. more likely polypropelene. If you don't like it do buy it. Don't try and persuade others against it.
Capitalism, its the American way. If you don't like money then go be a bum on the street. That way I can just throw shit at you when I don't want to hear your ramblings of evil vendors.
Don't beleive everything you know.

Moreover, these filter discs give great air exchange resulting in faster colonization due to low CO2 levels. Thats something a normal PFTek type jar cant do.
