I don't culture any phtyto yet but I'm interested in giving it a go in the future and would like to be learn more about it and be prepared. So here goes my questions.
Question 1.
I read that sanitizing the container is important. There are a number of methods I've read or thought of to do this. I was hoping to hear some opinions on whether or not if any of the methods are better than another. It would also be great to know any new methods not listed below.
1. Bleach and water mix (for plastic bottle or glass)
2. Microwave (only for microwave safe glass)
3. UV light sterilizer (a method I thought of, have the container sit under the UV lamp, only for glass) Something like this.
Question 2.
Is there anything else that I should be aware of which might cause the culture to crash? Where I live, Phyto start culture is very difficult to get a hold of so I want it to be safer.
Question 3.
Could I use sun light by the window?
Thanks!
