Our spores really seem to prefer the dark during colonization. And it's really hot here in Key West all the time so we have to be careful with the mycelium- avoid daily extremes in temp, etc.
Plus, sugar ants LOVE to eat colonizing grain and contaminate the whole mess. We now store all grain in close proximity to ant baits.

IME casings in cubes (bulk & casings) have helped reduce contam rates. Make sure you're grain's moisture content is correct or they'll stall, in which case you can shoot it up with some sterile water and shake to get it going again if it's contaminated that'll speed the problem up. Finally, lurk (and post) in the forums, there is always something new to learn!

Rubber gloves, anti-bacterial soap, iso 70 & bleach water Are all my new best friends.
O yea, & Greenhouses are A HUGE PITA. Monotubs FTW if you're doing bulk.
& Bio beats me to every post now.

"Take growing seriously. There's a step to everything, and if you're gonna try to do it drunk, well, you're gonna fuck up. 
Edited, because I think you're posting a bit ed up 
I think really it comes down to what you're doing & how inebriated you actually are. I've done some G2Gs, spawned to bulk & inoculated jars pretty fucking drunk before, no contams...no problems w/ anything yet. Also, it comes down to muscle memory, or how much you've done the procedure before. I believe that if I can do everything myco related w/ 4-5 beers in me...then I've pretty much got that procedure down pat... I'm also nuts....
