Yea, I think the best way to go about doing it in open air is find the smallest room possible (closet or bathroom) take out everything that's not needed and spray lysol or 10% bleach solution into the air and on everything including the tools and leave for about 15 mins and let everything settle and disinfect.

Spooglywoogly said: interesting test about the open air contamination. i thought that the real difference was down to how clean u maintain the tools and level of physical sterility, not air flow.
next time i will definately make a glove box.
There are several factors involving the success rate with open air inoculation. Primarily the cleanliness of the air where you inoculate. Secondly, the regieon where you live. It seems that people that live in drier climates have more success with open air innoculations. Down here in the dirty 3rd, not so lucky... A glove box is good to have and to know how to use if you ever begin isolating mycellium or cloning.

NewFungiGrower said: WRONG if you have a contam LC, you will know it far before you use it. If you wait a reasonable time that is.
In fact your wrong. I have had multiple LC's that looked great and ended up being contaminated the whole time. LC's are sometimes hard to tell if they are contaminated or not.
So before you tell someone else they are wrong, you should experience every possibility first.

Skeeblix said: That's exactly how LC works, though I'd recommend getting a regular PF grow under your belt first. Learn proper sterile technique before you use a whole syringe on an LC, as it's pretty hard to tell if it's contaminated unless you use it to inoculate a few jars with it. At least with cakes, you can tell when something funky starts growing.
Baby steps help. Some people jump right out into stuff like casing, but generally, getting your feet wet with something simple like PF is a good way to start. If you really think you've read enough (which is pretty much impossible with this hobby) to try something more advanced for your first grow, give it a shot, but don't be too surprised if it all turns green. If it doesn't, more power to you! Just remember that this isn't the simplest of things to do. It's not exactly hard, but it's a hobby that involves combating stuff floating in the air that's so small you can't see it.
Patience is another key thing. Rushing can ruin a grow. I've heard of a few noobs who didn't take the time to CAREFULLY read a tek and then shot up substrate fresh out of the PC.
Just read as much as you can find about everything here. There will always be something new to learn.
Now this is someone who knows what they are talking about. I think in my opinion grain to grain is way better. And a lot less likely to get contaminates.

if the climate conditions play much factor then the outlook isnt good. the climate where i am is extremely damp at the moment. As is there room where i did the inoculation. again, time will tell all. the way things are shaping up i will be quite pleased to get a single mushroom out of this batch.
its all a learning curve
