Perlite and sterility...
    #5955604 - 08/12/06 03:20 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Hi all,

I am planning my first grow in a few weeks using a "spawn brick" similar to  This

I am a little confused:  Assuming one uses perlite straight out of the bag, loads it with tap-water to provide humidity straight in the fruiting chamber, as I seem to have read can be done, why would neither of these elements need to be sterilised?  Sorry if I'm being dumb.

Thanks in advance,...

:confused: :confused: :confused:

The perlite is not in contact with the growing medium, therefore needs no treatment. You just rinse it, allow to drain, then place 2" deep in the terrarium. It will evaporate the moisture back off, creating humidity.
