Question about trich

Hello Everyone
I recently tried making some BRF jars which fell victim to trich. Ive done my research and id say my TEK was faily solid. So my quesiton is.
I have a plant room in my basement, filled with maybe 6-10 plants of differnet sizes that grow year round. Ive heard trich is found a lot in soil.
So basically am I screwed? Is my basement overloaded with trich?

I would first invest in a couple (2 or more) of small - medium sized HEPA filter units. Mart stores typically have them for around 30$ each.

Was the contamination seen during colonization or after birthing?

During colonization, always near the top layer of dry verm.

What accommodations do you have for air exchange in your lids(filter disk, Tyvek, micropore tape, etc.)? Assuming you inoculated with a syringe, does the penetration depth correspond to the the depth at which the needle would have penetrated?

like said above, if you're sterilizing properly then its one of two things
either your filter isn't working, or your syringe is dirty
also, are you flaming your needle between jars, do you have injection ports, or just going thru the tape or whatever..

I had no filter on my lid, just the open hole with a dry layer of vern under the lid. I looked at my jars a lot and sometimes could hear the dry firm sliding around when i accidentily tilted my jars.
I know now this was a really bad mistake. I probably should have covered my holes wiht microspore tape?
I did flame between every inoculation, i steamed for 90 minutes, let cool over night. Lysol's my room and did the deed.
