New attampt Questions....
    #7408138 - 09/14/07 08:40 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Ok so ive moved my growkit 2 foot off the ground, drained the perlite so its just damp, got a fresh grow brick and cleaned everything thoroughly so i hopefully wont get a contam this time.

But i worry about condensation causing my comtams, i get ALOT of condensation inside my grow kit.

Also do you think that contam affects the perlite that much, i changed it last time, still got a contam but dont have any perlite left for this brick so have used the perlite i drained before?

The contam was only inthere for 24 hours.

also how close to a contam do you have to be to get infected because my room is at the bottom of a damp garden, lots of moss and shrooms grow around my room, lots of insects etc...could this be the cause, or the fact in in a studio flat so contam off the bathroom floor mat could cause it?

if you're worried about your perlite stick it in the oven, i always replace mine, but i know lots of people reuse their perlite and put it in the oven like once a month or so, someone else will have to explain the ins and outs of it though, cause i've never tried it.

Its cheap enough i can buy another bag on monday i just dont wanna ruin another brick.

Im sure the contams i was getting were fomr inside the brick itself as one in the post was really mouldy and must infected the others in the same box.

I really hope it works this time, the kit will also be alot darker more of the time as im growing in a cupboard now, will just leave the door open during the day then close it at night.

i was about to suggest that, i have read a few times that perlite can be reused by sticking it in the oven at 400F??? i think to dry it out and kill any contams.

condensation is caused by difference in temperature between the outisde of ur growkit and the inside, the wall of ur kit will be getting colder which will condense the air causing the water droplets.
