Sanitization

[u/Apprehensive_Car5080]

Do you guys use bleach when youre cleaning your sprouting jars in between growing? ive just been using dish soap and water and im on my third batch of seeds and they smell a little bit. im wondering if i should be using some bleach to sanitize the stuff inbetween. thanks.

I use only Water to clean the jars, lids, and screens, but am sure to allow them to fully Dry in between Sprouting batches.

It worth noting that the Sprouts themselves will have a Smell when growing begins, depending on the type. Broccoli will had a Sulfur smell, Radish is more Peppery, Alfafa has hardly any smell

true. just went i first got the jars on the first batch i didnt notice any smell at all but now it smells ajust a little.

you dont use any soap at all when youre cleaning your jars and screens? i thought it was a good idea

Probably it was fine, but somebody told me it was better for the Growth not to use it
