First Noob Mistake; light hand on fire.
    #9936327 - 03/08/09 09:41 PM (15 years, 23 days ago)

Okay, so as to deliver, Ive just finished sterilizing my first batch of WBS jars. And following proper sterile procedure, I of course used rubbing alcohol to clean my hands and the needle... then, being the genius I am, proceeded to immediately flame sterilize the needle.


Little did I know, my hand was apparently still wet, and burst into flames. I spent the next 20 second running around my workstation trying to bat it out.


Sooooo.... I figure things cant get much worse from here for a first grow, and have all my faith that Ill have NO contaminations. lol.

Wish me luck!

Lol.  Every few months someone doesn't follow directions and is set on fire.


Now lysol inside your flow hood and quickly flame sterilize your needle inside for a wonderful effect.  :wink:

one way to sterilize your hands and remove unwanted knuckle hair in on easy step


--------------------
I agree totally. However, this forum isn't for the experienced growers, because they already know the ropes.  It's for the new growers who are just starting out.  Sometimes the hardest part about learning something new is un-learning bad info.  That's why I tend to correct people for calling a substrate tray a 'casing', etc.

everything I say is a lie on here.

Done that...

I was working on... something in front of my hood... and bumped into a jar I had sitting on my work area (cluttered work area will kill ya) so I reacted and grabbed the jar, saving it. Only, on my way to grabbing it, my gloved hand passed over a flame and caught my thumb on fire where I had been holding an alcohol soaked cotton ball....

Needless to say, it hurt. I tore the thumb off the glove and tossed it aside, no real damage was done.

Moral of the story? A clean work area is a safe one.
(The OP just needs to be careful with alcohol.. haha)

I was evaporating off some volatile chemicals a few years back on my porch, well my dumb ass roommate was upstairs on his balcony smoking a joint and tried to throw it into the ashtray we have on the porch and the wind blew the still lit joint into the liquid. Lets just say KABOOM.

Yeah, fill a confined area with a flammable gas and then ignite it :-D

WHOOOOOSH say good bye eye brows.

Once as a kid I poured coleman kerosone all over a fire pit, then went up to it with a match.

Eventually the eye brows grow back.

If it makes you feel better, I tried to make an alcohol lamp out of a handful of cotton balls and a juice glass on my first grow. The glass cracked in half and my work table almost went up in flames.

I fucking love these threads. one appears about once a month about some type of fire involving rubbing alch. I wish i could have seen it, but glad your alright and keep at it. Things get easier once you make all the mistakes you can and learn from em.
