My attempt at flasking!-vapor sterilization

Just curious on how your doing with the flasks. Any news??

Thanks for checking up Judy!

All but 2 plastic tupperware flask got contaminated. Seems like glass is Better. At least then the plastic things I found.

A few of the glass mason jar flasks also got contaminated, but only a few! So far so good with the rest. No germination yet though.

Thanks for the update and please make sure you let us know when you begin to see the little green 'fuzz'.

Good that you still have some clean flasks!! Thanks for the update.

[Call_Me_Bob]

Thanks

UPDATE TIME!

None of the flasks saw germination. I think the seed was not viable or I overexposed to the bleach. I may try again though. Or maybe a stem prop, if that would work..

Tough luck. At least it was a learning experience!

[Call_Me_Bob]

Sure was! I now have replate media that I was going to use if they needed replating, but now I won't need it for that. I wonder if replate media would be okay for the initial flasking.

Thanks for the last few months of posting Bob - too bad it did not work out for you. Again, it's not failure if you learned from it! Let us know of future seeding experiments!
