if it came from a vendor it is sterile already.
from this point on follow agar's open air inoculation tek.
this uses alcohol pads so that the needle itself will never touch open air.
If it is a dirty needle, get the propane torch. or a cotton ball in a glass of alcohol.
many ways for continuous flame. Candle?? See where I'm going? I use propane myself.

Gas or electric stove either one will heat a needle red hot. RR

idk doesn't seem like it'd be hard to pick up a lighter they're only like a dollar. but i use alcohol wipe sometimes. 91% isopropyl or more pure is the way to go with that. good luck with your innoc

actually its not. 70% alcohol works the same if not better then 90%. alcohol has trouble getting through cell walls when its more conentrated. being diluted helps it out. but bother will work fine for wiping down a needle.

70% rubbing alachol or better. Put some in an upside down shot glass. Then light with a match, providing you have one.

Turn a glass upside down, pour a little isopropyl (70% or 90%) into the dipped section, light it, flames needle till red, cool with alchohol soaked gauze or paper towel. I read that in a Cultivation Guide, I think the Famous PF Tek.
