Trich Spotted In The Shotgun FC
    #14721697 - 07/05/11 05:31 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Had 2 or 3 BRF cakes (that were pretty much spent) in my shotgun FC that developed large spots of trich. Should I dump and bake my perlite and bleach the inside of the FC? Or, do you think I'll be alright considering I tossed the infected ones quickly?

Just put some bleach in the water when you dunk the perlite to rehydrate. It'll be fine.

I think I'd rather bake/broil the perlite for 45 minutes and bleach the inside of the plastic tub (FC). The trich first showed up as a tiny spot on a casing that was in the FC. Then a splotch of it showed up a few days later on the side of a cake. Several other cakes have been tossed because they're basically spent, and they start to grow something resembling a 'grey fuzz'. Any ideas on how the Trich could've gotten in there? What do you guys think I should do to get rid of it?

Trich always gets in. It's omnipresent in the environment. The cakes don't become contaminated by the spores if they (the cake myc) are healthy and vigorous. You'll often see trich form on spots that have dried out n died or on spots where water has pooled for some time, weakening the mycelium, or on a rotted abort. Once the spores have germinated it can then proceed to parasitizing the healthy mycelium.

That's why I say bleaching is sufficient. It might not kill everything, but we're not dealing with a sterile environment anyway. So your extra precaution of baking the perlite becomes statistically insignificant to the point of being a waste of time.

Key is to maintain healthy, vigorous mycelium by maintaining optimal parameter during every stage of growth.
