So that's a traditional (single or maybe double doored) autoclave, likely with an electric steam boiler beneath it. If its in working condition it likely runs liquid cycles, gravity cycles and vacuum cycles! Working on these can be a beast, so get a serial number and the manufacturer and reach out for details on the unit. could be the best investment or could be the worlds heaviest paper weight...its a gamble with auctions and steam claves!

We are working on making the audio just as tasty as this one! Gotta love field recordings among the drone to get ya in the zone! so glad you dug it!!!

Also, we do have a cordy cultivation video in the works so keep an eye out for updates and a release info for that were we will be demystifying the "cordy mobs" religious secrecy, making it really understandable for anyone getting into growing militaris!

Here is an abstract from this study: 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30806271/#:~:text=Preservation%20in%20sterile%20water%20has,satisfactory%20method%20for%20preserving%20C.

It points out some really interesting things in terms of ideal temps and techniques but something to note is freezedrying is the ultimate preservation system suggested by this article which is something we will hopefully bring to this community in the year to come! All that being said refrigeration at 34F seems to be the best in between for folks not getting into lyophilization.

okay, so this unit is 1/5 of the price of a doboy and TR of Earth Angel seems to enjoy it:

Oh man we had one of these cheap guys, it lit on fire after a couple of months of continual usage. The temp controls are very volatile and the consistency of the seal is poor form end to end...for a hand full of bags it will work fine but for a large production system its useless. We went to the Syntegon (formerly Bosche) Doboy 750 and a 550 for the sub lab. They aren't cheap but they are bullet proof so keep your ebay eyes peeled...let me look up some other options that have been know to work well...

I would stick with a 4x8 or even a 2x8. The key is the length of thermal air exchange and the actual thickness. Let me dig up Brad original document on the design and ill post it here shortly for you. I believe there might be a thermal calculation on there! 

Hell yea! So glad it gave you the info you were looking for! We are stoked to continue going down the genomic rabbit hole with these odd stromatic proliferations!

Nebrodini are quite an interesting one, they are only really found in lime quarry’s so you need to increase your pH to between 8 and 11 for success in fruiting those buggers!

So two things cause this, co2 and too much air flow. That yellowing is due to the lions drying out which can be made worse by the porous growth of lions in too high of a co2 environment where Swiss cheese like pockets form as opposed to a healthy looking fruit…so increase the CFMs of your exhaust (making sure your intake is low in co2 first) and this, with a co2 meter controller) should limit constant air flow which will cause drying of lions and increase what I call the ebb and flow system where fresh air is brought in as dirty co2 rich air is carried out in less frequent and quicker pulses. This also helps keep your humidity up in the winter time without taxing your humidification system.
