I work out of my dirty, smelly, moldy (mostly the good mold) basement.

I PC brf jars and needles, I don't PC anything else. I case cakes to 100% verm straight out of the bag. I use lysol and a mask when taking prints or making innoculant, never otherwise - same can has lasted 6 months+

I put a little h202 in all my water - evaporative humidifier, ultrasonic humidifier (have both), heating tub(s). I wash my hands before most procedures, when I remember. My contam rate was around 5% until the last batch I did all got contams, bad inoculation syrum.

I don't own a glove box.

I also re-use my dunking water, but throw it out after 3 days or so.

Jars that get contams get soaked in scalding water + bleach before being filled up with BRF mix again.

My grow room right now is in a friends place. The apartment is squalid and doing any kind of sterile lab technique is just about impossible. I will let you know if I have any success. If I do it'll be quite something, the place is disgusting.

I would like to say I take my hobbies very seriously to the point of being anal it has served me well. I got into the hobby more for learning sterile culture technique than anything else, it was fun I got off each and every time I entered my cleanroom all gloss white everything setup perfectly and in it's place just rushed me out. Doing transfers whether agar, G2G or making up 100's of spawn bags I was in heaven knowing I have my bases covered. I should have been a lab worker! I know this thread is about LACK of cleanliness but I just have to say getting too sloppy will bite you guys in the ass when you least expect it or want it too and consistency well that is out the door whether you are sincere about it or not. I have learned from the best and take pride in everything I do whether it's creating or taking a shit! Remember I'm anal :wink: LOL

I'm almost Anal about keeping things clean and sterile.

but...

I have a good friend that used to work in the nastiest conditions and hardly ever got any contams.
I'd watch him do syringe making and culture work in open air with his cat walking over his shit.
I watch him work in his nasty ass kitchen with dirty dishes stacked up in the sink and nasty floors.
And he never wiped the counters that he was working on.
:crazy:

his results were...
he was one of the best cultivators I have ever seen.

go figgure!~

i have a sort-of Clean room....

Actually i have a Grow-Room. I have a roommate who is dirty, and does not take the time to consider the hobby period.

He just wants it now, and wants it yesterday... his life is too busy to even make Jars, he just waits for me to do it.

He never reads whole articles through even when i PM them right to his mailbox here.

Everything i have tried to keep clean becomes contaminated, when he walks into the room while smoking a cigarette, carying his tray from upstais to downstairs.

Asks me why his stuff isn't colonizing.... well i am just done. Never should have went through the process of showing.

Other than that i have sucess even considering the facts... But lately i am having a bacterial infection plaging all my jars.

It's hard to keep things clean, when you don't have someone's full attention... and constently hearing the words "I'm sorry" come out of their mouth. Makes me wanna Bitch Slap him every time.

This could happen to you!

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to all this...some are pigs and have terrific luck, some are uber-clean and still have trouble...interesting.

One other thing I forgot to mention about my setup was the fact that I ran a home-made ozone generator in the room for an hour to really clean the room out(while the HEPA was going too). Ozone is one of the most aggressive contaminant killers known to man.

I'm not the cleanest person in the world, but I am constantly running the HEPA and the ozone in the house because I smoke. I hate the smell of my own habit and the HEPA and Ozone kills it completely.

I even ran the Ozone in my car for 24 hours...it smells like a new car now and I don't sneeze when I turn on the A/C anymore.

It's a ghetto ozone maker...maybe I will post a picture...I'll tell you how to make it if you want.

Nice generator! But be careful guys high levels of ozone are extremely hazardous to your health and can fry your lungs and any other living thing around ie; plants, shrooms, wife, kids, etc; :wink:
