If you dont have access to a pressure cooker, find the biggest pot you have. Put enough water in it so that when you rest the jars in the pot, the water line is 1\4 - 1\2 up the side of the jar. Next, place a washcloth or small towel at the bottom of the pot. The purpose of that is too keep the boiling water from boiling over into the jars. Also make sure that the tops of your jars are properly tin-foiled over. Finally put the jars on top of the washcloth or towel in the pot and let steam\boil for an hour on medium heat.

Sunlight is the best to start the pinning process. I wouldnt use a normal lamp.

Normally, you shouldnt smell anything outside of the grow box, but then again it depends on what you use as a grow box. If it is a properly sealed rubbermaid container, then you should be fine.

Hope this helps.

Any kind of light will work except direct sunlight. Steam sterilizing works to a degree--but a pressure cooker is a better guarantee of success. GL.

steam for a bit over an hour actually to be sure... had some bits of bacterial contam at only one hour, 75-90 minutes is better. bring up to a boil slowly with medium-low heat so the jars are heating inside evenly, start counting time only once the boil is started and keep a steady slow rolling boil, don't want it all splashing around and bubbling up big, keep your lid on the pot the whole time after without opening it at all... near 100% success this way.

any indirect light is fine, or any old light you place over top will work, but NOT a UV. that will cause mutations, or even kill myc if intense enough.
