How easy is it to get contams?
    #5575658 - 04/30/06 10:28 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

How easy is it to get contams? If I use sanitary methods, clean everything, sterilize everything, use gloves, and be careful most of my projects will be successful right? I don't have a glove box or hepa filter or anything but I am going to be carful. Is it really as easy as it sounds to get contams? I don't want to spend all this money (pressure cooker is 80 alone) if its not gonna work. Thanks guys

ummmmmm well if your methods are what you say then you won't have a problem. however a golove box is usefull. even just a ghetto cardboardbox with plastic wrap as the lid.

you pretty much answered your own question. :smile:  its extremely to get contams, almost garunteed, if you do not follow sterile procedures.  likewise, its possible to have great success just by using common sense, following the wealth of information here, and paying attention to what you're doing.  some things are riskier than others, with a pf-tek type grow being closest to "foolproof" and things like grain transfers, agar work, etc being "riskier" without proper precautions.  contams are everywhere, and whether you get catch 'em or not depends on how much nutritive surface area is exposed, for how long, in how clean an environment.

Use the gloves and a dust mask in a draft free room. Also if you got one of those ionic breeze things, have it running in the room for about 3 hours prior to to the procedure.

i've been extreemly lazy (and cheep) about my grow and had no contems at all!
i PCed my PF glasses for an hour
i scraped the spores in the open air into a small glass cup with a sterile knife
i took a new syrenge out of the pack and drawn water out of a water bottle (which i bought espacialy for this so i won't need to use sterelized water) then into the cup with the spores and sucked back
i flamed and used alcohol swabs on my needle betwine injections
didn't bother to tape the holes (i simply put back the dust cover)

and that's it... worked like a charme!
no lysol
no hepa filters
no messy syrange making and glove box

maybe i was lucky but i don't think we should be worried about airborn contamination so much... in other words... it's not THAT easy to get contems (unless you don't sterelize the jars properly or your really messy and dirty with your injections)

*this is my personal opinion and i realize its not that popular... it's always best to be extra carefull but it depends on what you're looking to get (i wouldn't spend too much money on a PF grow... i would however bother with all this once i'd decide to go bulk becouse then it would be worth all the truble)

i think asking before the fact does not mean he should post in the contam forum. where do you draw the line?
