Lost half my cakes to trich, what to do w/the rest???????

So I had two fruiting chambers each w/15 cakes. I was halfway through my second flush when things got trichy. (get it!?) Threw out a little less than half the cakes, and i've taken the remaining cakes and put them in individual plastic bags and threw them in the fridge to slow any further contamination. I'm wondering about h202, is it worth it to try to clean this shit up? I was also thinking of turning each into a myco-bag and watching closely for contamination. Maybe turn this into a positive situation by turning each cake into a much larger bag. Opinions???

Oh yea, I think the cross contam occurred because of my dunking. I didn't keep an eye not to mix the cakes from both chambers. I have a dedicated room that I have set up with a hepa filter and tons of lysol being sprayed constantly. So after I clean the chambers I think I should be ok in terms of sterility.

I'm guessing if contams are present they will REALLY show up if you try to spawn it to uncolonized substrate.

yes, cold water and fridge. I was worried about fae. I have about 20 nail size holes for each 64qt tub. I'd open about 2-4x/day.

i guess trich is everywhere outside(and inside, carpet), but the reason it doesn't go crazy is because of fae, stale air is trich friend. you might want to start there, while i've heard trich is in soil, i havent heard its in water too.....and if you already got a flush then sound like you used proper technique when doing your jars...

if your concerned with too many holes, you can do a bunch of holes, then plug them one by one with poly until you get it right. Also, you can never ever have too much fae.

lack of FAE will give you contamination problems. you will also get better results by increasing FAE. Build a shotgun terrarium, far to many people worry about contams and infact make matters worse. FAE is your defense againts contams and your cakes will fruit better.
Drill 1/4 inch holes on every side top and bottom included.
