    Instead of just polyfill I use needle caps, y cut the end to make a tube and stuff the tube with polyfill. It makes it tighter and since the tube is longer it's more difficult for contams or or liquid to get in or out. You can even shake the jars since polyfill is hydrophobic

    Have you experience with micropore tape seems it would be more cost effective than polyfill and easier to apply, thanks for the video, im about to go make my first lids.

    • @_fungaia
      @_fungaia  5 місяців тому +5

      Yes, micropore tape is great for monotub filters where contamination is far less of a problem, but it does not offer enough protection for grain.
      If you rely on it for jar filtration, you will have mold issues. A cheap pillow is less than $4 at walmart and contains enough polyfill to make hundreds of lids!

    • @akdrywallguy60
      @akdrywallguy60 4 місяці тому +1

      Not to be that contrarian, but I've used micropore tape with less issues than polyfill. I do not advice against Fungaia's wisdom, but in my situation, I've got the same 85%-95% success rate. I also make sure to double the tape up and it is a PAIN to clean off of the lids for the next batch. I also will put all of my inoculated jars into my Martha tent inside of an isolated room that is always kept CLEAN . I'm sure that it doesn't hurt that I live in the frozen north where 1/2 of the year is frozen and there just aren't as many contam issues to worry about at that time. If I were starting over again, I think that I play around a few times with micropore tape and after a couple of adventures and mis adventures, switch over to the thick filter pads. They look pretty bomber! Mush love, all!

    Is that a Unicorn bag? If not, is there a type of bag you'd recommend for more advanced growers? Also, glad to see you posting! Love the work so far! Keep up the good work. :)

    • @_fungaia
      @_fungaia  5 місяців тому +2

      Yep, I have always used Unicorn bags and they have always worked perfectly for me. Always get a type T filter for making spawn. Stay tuned for a whole video on bags!

    Question on the plastic lids. The ones I typically buy have a clear rubber gasket that fit in a groove for sealing. You said your are flat. So do they not have the gasket with the groove? Love your channel!!

    hi, do you guys think its a good idea to just close the aeration hole with some micropore tape? instead of the microfiber, it seems safer, or theres no need/drawbacks? thank you

  • @WhiteBeardHashtag1205
    @WhiteBeardHashtag1205 2 місяці тому

    A much better option for a DYI injection port is employing the use of RTV rather than silicone. Also, I would not suggest those filter discs. Instead I would suggest the implementation of a syringe filter. It will keep the container water tight, and still allow for FAE and pressure/vacuum equilibrium when you draw LC with syringes. This guys methods are ok, but there are much better options for LC jar lids, in my opinion.

    Hi! Cotton works as well as the poliéster filter?

    • @_fungaia
      @_fungaia  4 місяці тому

      Yes, cotton filters work too!

  • @grapeapplepie
    @grapeapplepie 4 місяці тому +2

    Has puncturing the filter with the syringe ever caused you contamination problems further on down the cultivation road?

    • @petermangan1124
      @petermangan1124 4 місяці тому

      Wondering the same.

    • @_fungaia
      @_fungaia  4 місяці тому +2

      No, as long as the silicone seals against the filter, the injection port will protect the hole that the needle makes.
      If you peel the filter and silicone apart, you'll need to reapply the silicone to reseal the hole.
