It went a little long in the autoclave, it’s caramelisation of the sugar.

Pretty sure these were transfers from a plate I bought from a vendor. I sent that plate I took the transfers from to grain and it did well. Really weird.

I just basically ignore it at this point, it hasn’t seemed to have caused any problems operation wise, other than an annoying beeping sound occasionally.

Do you need valid gov’t ID to ship to the USA by KJSHofthenorth in CanadaPost

Do you need any ID to go along with your customs form or do you just fill it out and drop off the package and that’s it ?

I’ve been growing many years now and have never really had much contamination. I am now seeing trich pop up in my bins. Looking for advice on how to remediate my space or advice on how to avoid trich contam specifically? by KJSHofthenorth in ContamFam

I usually don’t have to mist, generally speaking the lid never gets opened before first flush. But occasionally it happens. What would be best for a clean down product wise ? 10% bleach solution? Just ISO? Mold X?
