i'm making it from a syringe i knocked up a few days ago not the spore print.
i think i will go with the double foil until i can get my hands on some tyvec and then i shall try a another lc using the tyvec.




In the states, you can get tyvec in any post office for free, but since your location says "Eire" you can be in either Ireland or Canada, so it may not apply. 

I also use tyvec.  It works nice!  :grin:





when you say you can get it in the postoffice what do you mean ie:
what is its purpose/used for ??

I'm guessing any plasters that stick well that you can breath thru would work,maybe the plasters that come in a role,like tape,the one you have to cut with scissors would do the job.
but then I'm just guessing as Ive never done this and am always on the look out for what the UK version of things are.

I'm attempting my first lc tonight,i don't have any plaster tape or silicone so I'm just gona have a tiny injection point in the top of my jar lid with a layer of foil on top,i don't expect this to last forever,but if i get a week out of it after full colonization it will be enough to inoculate a shit load of jars and make a few more lc,s for the next batch.

its a pity their isn't a section of this site for European or UK growers showing our equivalent to what gets used in the us,it would make following techs a whole lot easyer,the amount of times i have hunted the shops for some product or another only to find they either don't sell it in the UK or it comes under a totally different name or comes from a different type of shop for other uses to what its used for in the us.
when i first started following techs for spice extraction it took me months to find everything i needed only to find i had it all under my nose all the time,just i was searching with the wrong names for stuff.

You can get silicone gel from hardware stores. Micropore tape from the pharmacy. They're not expensive, and with LC:s sterility is an issue since you can not tell if it's viable by appearance, you will have to try it out to know.

i no here in the uk micropore tape is called "surgical tape" it is white tape kinda clothy in texture and they use it to stick bandages with it can be bought in any chemist.


cdubbz111, would you have measurements/amounts that you mix your casing to??

shponglecybin, good luck with your culture

this is a link to the little green house i purchased:
http://www.tradeindia.com/selloffer/1653605/Mini-Greenhouse.html?source=rss-lead

so would it be good enough on its own if i just fanned & misted a few times a day if i were to use it as a fc ??

would it hold humidity alright ??

what modifications could i do to it ??

The Priority Mailing envelopes are made out of Tyvek.  They even say "Tyvek" in the upper corner.  If you can get them, make sure they're the priority and not the Express, which supposedly are part paper.

I picked up a suit of this from home depot for about $10.



I've done easily 100+ lids with it and haven't even used up a whole sleeve yet.

It's technically not tyvek, but the specs on it are consistent with tyvek and supposedly it's a little more breathable which helps keep jars from stalling out. 

My half gallon jar does really well with it, colonized faster then pint jars, granted I used like 7cc of LC, but lc is cheap.

That suit's awesome!  xD 

Also, does that half gallon jar work well for you?  I'm thinking about moving up from quarts, but... :shrug:

Yeah it works great, the main thing is it needs to be PC'd longer and needs a bigger air-hole for a little extra ge.

for casings, you could simply use 49.5% sphagnum peat moss 49.5% vermiculite, and 1% gypsum... thats the way most do it, but i dont use casings so im no real source of help for casings. Good luck tho

It's mega hard to get good lc pics.  You need some BRIGHT background like.  Full on sunlight works.  But looks pretty normal so far.
