ok time for my input in that case. I decided to try to make an LC with a lid set up of two RTV ports. One for injections, one for a syringe filter (plug out of syringe, polyfil in syringe).
The plan was to bubble the LC every now and then to keep some gas exchange going in the jar while no contams could get into the jar because of the sealed lids. Needless to say, at first the growth would show at a normal rate, then come to a standstill. From that point if I would bubble, growth would continue for a very short amount of time before stalling again. Life, work and the rest of the world made it a little tricky to keep up with bubbling or even pulling fresh air into the jar and even though there was a culture in the jar, it would not grow larger especially compared to LCs of the past with no sealed lids.

I'm not taking anything personal. I think this is a great topic and I love some good debate. If it was personal, I'd start telling "your mama" jokes :smirk: If it wasn't your intent to throw a "bait" question out there just for the sake of making the responders look stupid, my apologies.

Anyway, back on topic, my take on this is that if you don't care much about speed and are just looking to stretch your spore syringe or make a clone, then not using a filter would be fine. However, most people who use LC's are doing so in order to speed colonization times after inoculation. If they want speed in the overall process, then not using a filter would be counterproductive.

I'm glad you brought this subject up. A noob reading most LC-related threads here would think that a filter is a "must have" when it really isn't.

Well, to be ending this, I inoculate three jars with vacutainers seals, two with "hippie" filters and the other, without it.

Use 3ml from a not too dense spore syringe on each of them...

So, I will post in the next 4 days pictures of theses cultures.

Awesome. It will be good to examine these set ups side by side. Make sure to take more pics after the 4 days tho.
