Real simple & cheap (if you can scrounge up the parts).

Find some rubber grommets (as in the pic above), drill a hole in the plastic or metal lid the size of the interior of the rubber grommet, insert the rubber grommet in the lid. Find some polyspun filter fabric, cut it in tiny strips -- & roll it up -- then force it into the hole in the rubber grommet.

For an "injection port: use any little thing, as in any poly-carbonate tapered plug (as I did), stainless steel screw or whatever. Drill a hole in the lid, a bit smaller than whatever you use as a plug. Then, insert it (tight).

End result is a jar lid, with a filter & injection port for about 0.20 cents each -- that you never have to change. All parts will withstand PC'ing.

I just figured this toilet flush simple thing out. I'm ordering more bulk parts, so -- I can make them available (at cost) to any Nan'sNook member that wants them (plus postage).

does that lid fit any sized jar or just specific sized jars? I'm interested in a few to try out for next time.

Posted by: Mycota Jan 25 03, 03:06 AM GMT
biggrin.gif You can do that to any size lid (regular or wide mouth).

Hell, for that matter, you could do it to baby food jar, or 1 gallon lids.

Nope, just telling the world how to do it themselves @ 0.20 cents a pop.

Cool. Whats the rubber grommet for, does it grip the poly better and keep it from being pushed in?

Posted by: Zoom Jan 26 03, 01:43 AM GMT
I think the grommet is for air exchange. Damn good tip Mycota and cheap too. wink.gif

The rubber grommet with poly & ply cloth pushed tight in it, serves as a filter -- YOU NEVER HAVE TO CHANGE. Mycota wink.gif

mycota man , you want to sale me , some of those lids , premade like that...?

Another cheap filter setup...
Go to the PO, ask for the Priority Mail Enveopes made from tyvek, cut a little over sized and screw the band on. If you are worried about it drying too fast, cover it with Aluminum Foil to control evaporation. it practicly free

Why not just use bags from unicorn or some thing similar? Just cook some grain, (I use milo, white millet, corn cob, and thistle) throw your culture in an eberbach with some sterile water, and nocc em up? I hate washing things out. Use em, throw em out. Plus you can do a lot more in a bag, don't have to fuck around with filters, they're already there. Lot easier to break it up too. Let them colonize (3 to 5 days@ 85 degrees) and mix them to your substrate.

I use bags -- besides jars. I use UNICORN BAGS & order by the K.

The purpose of the three way valve is:

1. closed (so you can shake it -- if you desire - to stir the mix)

2. open for filted gas exchange (either ambiant or pumped in through
the tiny hepa quality filter on the valve).

3. open to screw on a syringe & remove colonized solution without
exposure to any open air.

The MM starter lid, is (I believe, having never held one in my hand) an injection septa plug set into a hole drilled in a lid. Like the injection sepa port in the pic below.

A plug alone (even if you can inject through it - or withdraw solution out of it) is that no air exchange is provided.

Clean liquid cultures fail or 2 reasons. Nutes get depleted, or lack of gas exchange.

Here is a jar lid, with a plug port (the green thing). You simply pull the stopper to inject or withdraw solution.

The gizmo next to the plug is a tiny hepa quality filter, installed in a rubber grommet, in the lid.

Are they going to be for sale anytime (the cadillac units that plug in to the grommet)? I saw a similar post at the shroomery about the second idea with the green plug. The cadillac idea sounds very promising though if there is a source to buy them from.


Posted by: Zoom Jan 26 03, 01:48 AM GMT
Damn good idea Mycota. I'ld be intested if they come on the market.
