Changing perlite
    #5377069 - 03/08/06 10:01 AM (18 years, 24 days ago)

I've been out of the scene for a little while and I decided I would start growing again. I want to use perlite but I was wondering if I have to change it after every harvest or if I could just spray the perlite with some hydrogen peroxide. Thanks for any replies.

hydrogen peroxide at a dilution with water of 10% hydrogen peroxide to 90% water.

if you have a serious outbreak of contamination then i would go ahead and change it.

I would change it every grow, as it's not too expensive. If you've been out of the scene for a while check this tek out. There's nothing easier to produce big, potent mushrooms and there is no need for any work. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/4323984/an/0/page/0

Good Luck Man

P.S.- I'm doing this double tub tek right now and I couldn't ask for an easier, high yeilding tek

No need to change perlite often. The time you really want to start changing it is when it starts turning into dust. I simply just rinse, soak, and drain my perlite in the shower when it needs to be rehydrated. A bag lasts me 4-6 months.

I sterilize after it starts to smell "off" usually ever couple of grows. I simply change it out with cleaned perlite then sterilize the used stuff I keep recycling it over and over, my perlite has lasted for many years this way.

true, but it is good to note about the perlite dust.  You dont want to be near that stuff, when handling dust or cleaning out your FC, wear a mask to avoid breathing it in.

Personally at 2 dollars a bag i dont see the point in sterilizing it, but then again im a lazy bastard who would rather buy a new bag then sterilize old stuff :laugh:

Believe me I'm as lazy as I can be so if I don't have to even go to the store and shop I won't it takes me not even 5 minutes to sterilize my perlite I couldn't even get in my car and drive a mile in that time so in reality is actually way easier for me, it's kinda like the old saying an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. :wink:
