Put it this way,
When you work with as much as Ozzy and I do, You can't risk green shit hitting.
If you get an outbreak in an environment like that it can be a really bad situation to be in.
You can't know what this is like until you experience it and learn to deal with it and move on.
The first key to "dealing" with something like this is to trace your steps back, .
On the way back one of those steps is to tighten up on sloppy procedures (i.e. "the bucket") and work from there; trying to isolate the problem.
You think it sux losing one tub or two tubs,,...
Imagine how much it would suck to lose like 20-30 tubs.
Thats not something I have ever experienced nor will it be because I take the time and put the work in.
If you are going to do something take pride in it and do it right.
This is what will separate you from the pack..... Otherwise you will never truly be successful.
Sorry for the philosophy lecture but its true,.

It's all relative I suppose. We have over 1000 substrates colonizing at any given time. If there was a mold outbreak, it would wipe out our whole livelihood.
One thing about doing a lot of substrates simultaneously is it seriously shortens the learning curve. You find out what shortcuts are OK, and what shortcuts will cut your balls off. RR

That would not be a fun scenario; I don't think many people could even remotely grasp how much something like that would cost to clean up 
I run 30 cube, 30 reishi, 30 oyster, w/ 100 % success ......
I am striving to move in the direction of but am nowhere near 1,000 blocks!!!!!
Thats just awesome !!!

I agree with the relativity comment by RR. If you're growing on something close to a commercial scale and this is your primary source of income, there is no room for error. But I doubt the majority of people frequenting these boards are even close to this level. Regardless, whatever works for you, do it. No technique guarantees success like experience with that given technique, and tweaking it to suit your needs. I'm going to pasteurize a 50:50 hpoo/verm substrate, via the bucket technique, and test temps throughout the process and will post unbiased results; so we will know within 3-4 weeks. I believe I can find the perfect ratios of substrate to water @ a certain temp, to achieve 170 initial temp and over 140 for 60-90 minutes, but we shall see. I can't see any harm in a scientific approach to simplifying the difficult task a home cultivator faces of pasteurizing large amounts of substrate.

The best answers you will receive in life require the fewest words.
Buckets are not proper vessels for pasteurization of bulk substrates.
