First time grower- Quick questions
    #7210481 - 07/22/07 03:42 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Alright I havent started to grow yet, but I'm trying to get everything as ready as possible beforehand.

I'm just wondering as far as a terrerium goes...In your opinion do you think it would be better for me to get like an aquarium (we already have a bunch at my house so cost isnt an issue) OR would it be better for me to use the plastic storage thing I see in the TEKs.

(like a rubbermaid container with holes drilled into it)

Id rather use the clear storage container just because it's less bulky and easier to use, but if you guys think the aquarium would be better, let me know.


ALSO, in the teks ive watched (im using PF Tek for my first time) I noticed in the video that they put the jars into another clear containder with holes in the side for his arms to go through, then inoculates the jar through the holes.

Is this just so air contaminents don't get in?
Do you actually have to do that during inoculation, or is it just one of those "rather safe than sorry things?"

I guess I'm interested to see how many of you do that.

Also, is there any way for me to make sure the air is clean (it's not like I can use a hood) would a air purifier or somehting work? What do you guys do to prevent more contaminents from being in the air?



Well, i think that's it for now.

Thanks guys.

Well, I can address the box to inoculate in.  The reason to use the still air box is so that there is no moving air.  If the air is moving the chance of contams rises.  They can be made simply and cheaply and I highly recommend using one.

I have only used plastic storage for a FC.  I'd say the aquarium would be fine but you will have to figure out how to achieve fresh air exchange (will you fan it a whole lot or use something on a timer or what.) 

And be wary of air purifiers.  If there are filters on them I would be sure to use a new filter or don't use it at all.  I have seen some experts say not to use one at all.

Good Luck.  :plur:
