killed green shit on compost substrate
    #10447857 -

I was doing a grow off a clone... well, the LC got contaminated recently and i'm out of spores so I figured this would be the last grow for a while.

days after moving substrate to bulk sub, the top was nice and white. yesterday i looked at it and there was a big green splotch of shit on my grow (well, 2 to be accurate). I noticed one of the polyfill balls had fallen out, causing the contam. Rather than chunk the whole thing, I decided to pour some 91% isopropyl alcohol on the affected areas and see what happens. Today there is no green anywhere and the only side effect was the myc below the green stuff also got wiped out.

In any case, pins are starting to form and hopefully the green machine won't come back.

Any similar experiences?

The polfyfil falling out of your monotub did not cause your contamination. Sterility is not required when spawning - you either had bad grain spawn or didn't pasteurize correctly.

Generally, the advice is to chuck a tub if it contaminates before the first flush and to apply a heavy salt paste on the affected areas to get through a flush if you already have pins. You didn't really kill the trich in your tub - it's still colonizing your substrate with a vengeance and will likely start sporulating elsewhere in a day or two.

Personally, I would have tossed it at the first sign of trichoderma. You'll need to keep a close eye on it to make sure you don't wind up with a tub puking spores all over your grow area.

That's weird. I bought pre-made jars and pre-pasteurized bags from some sponsors.

Maybe fire will work
