First grow attempt (and trip) coming up!
    #5267955 - 02/05/06 11:11 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Well, I got all the supplies I need for my first grow. This Thursday I will be ordering my spores and begin. I will create a grow log to log all the procedures that I will do. I will also give excellent photos, and hopefully if it is successful, other new people can be inspired and begin their first grow.

I am extremely worried about contaminations. Here is some info about my grow and what I will try to do to keep those contaminates away.

I will be doing the basic tek grow. Before I mix my materials, I will do the following to hopefully prevent any bacteria/mold growth:

First I will wipe my kitchen counters clean with a wet rag. I will also make sure everything in the kitchen is clean, and free of dust. I will then sweep my floor, followed by mopping it. Once the floor has dried, I will wipe the counters I will be working on with alcohol. I will then spray lysol to make sure there is no airborne bacterias.

I will also wipe my jars, mixing pot, and pots with some alcohol. I will wear gloves and a hair net (I have a lot of hair.) I will begin mixing the ingridents. After that, I will put the mixture into the jars and begin sterilizing. I do not have a pressure cooker, so I will just put them in a big pot and keep them in there to boil for an hour and a half to get clean.

After that, I plan on heating the syringe to a glow like stated and inject the spores.

I will be incubating them in my bedroom, so I will also make sure that my room is extremely clean, and lycsol the air. I'll probably incubate them in the storage containor, to make sure they aren't exposed with the direct atmosphere. I will also air it out a few times a day.

Well, that's about it. If I keep everything extremely clean and sanitary, will this drastically decrease the chance of contaminants?

Once I get my spores, I will begin my grow log. Please check me out next week and see my progress! Thanks guys for all the help and information.

Oust is a lot better for airborne contams.  :thumbup:

Also, you probably know this, but wait a few seconds before you inject the spores.  You'll cook 'em that way.  :frown:

How are you going incubate them.  The Tub-In-Tub method?

I wish you great luck, you obviously are taking plenty of precautions. 

I'm with you on this one.  I've never tripped and I'm just about harvest my first grow ever.  If you have any questions, I've probably asked them before.  But, there are plenty of willing, intelligent people that are glad to help.  :grin:

Good luck.  :mushroom2:

I'm not knocking the sterility efforts, it's a good thing... but using a PC would be worth more than all that prep put together (cept mabey flaming the needle).

Something else you can do, I fold up a paper towel, and wet it down with alcohol. After flaming my needle well, I wrap it with the towel, and leave it there between use. I'll throw a few re-flames in there too while I'm using it.
