im just about to make my fc. would it be alright to boil perlite so that the perlite and the water in it is going to be semi-sterile? everytime my cakes get contaminated its at the fruiting stage, which should be the least likely time. im just trying to take every precaution that i can this time.

I sterilize my used perlite with an overnight bleach/water dunk then just rinse and drain the next day takes about 5 min.

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

The cakes should be pretty damn contam resistant. Are you making sure they are 100% colonized before birthing? Are you placing the cakes directly on the perlite?
