LC healing inoculation port

Would siliconized caulk [lol] work for the self healing inoculation point on a LC?

i dont think it would seal itself back up.. maybe if you used a really small-gauged needle it could..

it might poke a hole in the caulk and possibly clog your syringe or get knocked down in the LC, which could possibly be bad for growth..

really sounds like a good experiment.. i say go for it and lemme know what results you get :laugh:

and thx for your comment on that contest thread in the marketplace.. i appreciate it

It isnt an experiment at all. This is the way we used to do it. The silicon can be made thicker than the self healing ports which could be better.

What I noticed with the ports is that they tend to fold and over lap a bit at the hole which isnt good. If you were to pull the needle out at an angle you would most likely pull the opening open far enough to allow contamination. Its hard to explain.

A thicker blob of silicon would not do this


--------------------
Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Just use a nice thick glob of clear silicone. I can't imagine it working anyway less than perfect regardless of needle gage.

If the inoculation ports are going to be PC'd, do you need RTV silicone to withstand the high temperatures? Or will normal silicone do? I grabbed some RTV silicone at the hardware store for about $4 and it's worked great so far.

Once I start a new LC I will post my results. I don't PC my jars though.

Your PC is exposing the silicone to 250 degrees Fahrenheit at 15 psi, so I am of the mind personally that other silicone sealants will work. I still went ahead and used the high temp RTV stuff, but its worth a shot to test other sealants.
