Trich (and others) fuck
    #10098241 - 04/02/09 11:24 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Today I picked up a bag of coffee-grounds from the Starbucks grounds for gardens thing.

I got the bag home and opened it up only to find that it was completely full of multi-colored (but mostly forest-green) mold.

FUCK. Now I have a room full of trichoderma and who knows what. Thanks Starbucks.  How fucking long do they leave those bags sitting there?

Anyway, l hope this can help others who are thinking about using Starbucks grounds for gardens program. CHECK THE COFFEE AT THE STORE.

Of course I immediately resealed the bag and threw it away.

I've sprayed everything in the area down with isopropyl, and wiped off everything the bag has touched with bleach. Will my room be safe from trich &etc. or is there something else I should do to minimize the mold's ability to survive in my house?

You do use a glove box or flow hood, right?

I don't use anything yet. I'm getting ready for my first grow (edibles, I'm not allowed to grow actives because of my roommates). I've built a glovebox, will that be enough?

Won't the jars sitting in my room be at risk of contamination?

I use starbucks grounds for gardens all the time.  Make sure you use what they've discarded that day.  I'm sure they don't care if it has mold in it.  Neither should you if you were using it for the "intended purpose" of their grounds. :wink:

get urself some lysol spray and give ur place a good spray with it.
i also like to spray it everytime i inoc and inside of my glovebox. then let it settle for 10 minutes. without too much movement in the room* such as drafts etc after lysol being sprayed it should be safe.

maybe cleaning the area you had the bag in and carried it through might be wise. you dont know if there was something on the outside of it, most likely there was.

Okay, so I've done all this. I'm thinking I should be okay. Thanks for your help! :smile:

I almost wish I had taken a picture now, a 5 pound block of mold is pretty impressive.

You won't get contaminants because your jars will be airtight.

The glove box will be fine. A glove box is a still air environment (mostly) so everything in there just settles to the bottom of it. When your arms are in it, just wait like 30 seconds to be safe and make sure everything has fallen to the bottom. You should wipe the inside down with alcohol, or even a bleach solution.

Good Luck
