I had problems with contamination in the biggining, i lost around 75% of my jars, I was inocing in open air using the oven tek (bogus tek).
Made a glove box and have not had 1 contamination yet out of 10 jars so far (i know thats not that many but before i was getting like 3 out of 4 contams at a time)

Yeah, that's a good idea. You will use it all the time. The one I have, cost 40$ and holds 4 quart jars, or 10 half pints. Worth every penny.

I think the subject should be "Why I suck at this." 
Keep on going mate. We all go through failures. I'm having a bad time trying to get grains working at the mo. Wet Spot is driving me mad. But I will beat it!

someone else suggested it already, but I would like to reiterate. test your syringe on something other than the grain bag first. you should also start doing control jars with your grows. just make an extra pftek jar and sterilize it with the others and don't inoculate. if all the other jars contam and not that one you know that at least you made sterile jars and the contam came from your syringe.

Good advice.

get really good at the basics first. sterility, using your pc, ratios and all that. do that for awhile then move on to spawning and grains. ive been at this for 9 months now and just started spawning and doing grains and such 2 months ago.
this was only after i did several pf tek grows contam free.
dont give up man. i like seeing ya around here.
