First LC
    #5433537 -

Two quick questions. My friend is going to try out his first lc (his first attempt at growing in years), and will use a couple of canning jars to do so.

Anyways, first off, he has a pressure cooker, and otto's tek stated that, after boiling the water and putting it in the jar with the honey, to put it in the pressure cooker (instead of putting the jar into the boiling water to sterilize it), but he's wondering if it is actually necessary to boil water in the first place.

Could one simply just put some hot water from the faucet in the jar, with the honey, and then sterilize it?

Also, after one takes off the foil and inoculates the lc, one can just stick polyfill in the hole, right? He read that it is best to do two holes, and to put a filter syringe in the other one, in order to allow some air to get into the jar to minimize pressure, or something, but could one put just polyfill in the second hole and then inoculate, and not have to worry about a filter syringe?

Are there any contamination issues with taking off the tin foil and inserting the polyfill into the holes? Okay, that's three quick questions, albeit the third one probably didn't need to be asked (just worried). :lol:

Thanks for your help! :thumbup:

Oh, and not that its important, but if this was your choice, first grow in years, and you had a selection of South African Transkei, Amazonian, and Cambodian to choose from, which one would you choose? :grin:

1. you could just use hot water then PC. thats what i did on 3 LCs i have right now.
2. yes you can put polyfill after innoculating. although i think you could put the polyfill on before PCing. i could be wrong though. i use micropore tape. and you dont necessarily need two holes. one is fine.
3. theres a possibility of contams whenever the LC is exposed to open air. thats why i suggested putting the polyfill in before PCing. or you could use a glovebox.

Thanks for the response! :thumbup:

These are pretty much the answers that I thought of, but, as I am still learning, I figured I'd ask to find out if there are any variables I'm not taking into consideration. :grin:

However, there was one major concern that I had with the polyfill, that you hinted at. I did not know if I should put it in the holes before or after PCing. Won't wet polyfill act as a wick for contams?

I mean, won't it get wet from the pressure cooking?

not if you have the tops covered with tin foil.
