is the air outside sterile during winter?
    #8008773 - 02/11/08 01:08 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

is the air outside sterile during winter? or are there still mold spores floating around? My 4th cousin removed was contemplating on just inoculating outside in the cold rather than in a glove box indoors.

No. It's not sterile. Use a glovebox.

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.

I'd assume it's going to be MORE sterile than inside, but not as sterile as a glovebox. They grow naturally outside anyway, most foreign mold spores and contams are indoor only.

why would it be more sterile than inside?

cold does not equal sterile.

if anything, there are countless more molds, bacteria and particulate matter flying around on the breeze outside.

these things do not simply disappear when it gets cold. they may stop growing for a bit, but don't assume they're not there.

It was -29 today with the wind chill factor, would I attempt a G2G outside or inside? never.

RR said it, glovebox!
