How do you properly mix spawn and sub? In a still air tent? Cuz it can't fit in the sab

Open air....
Pasteurized bulk substrate material is contam resistant.
So are fully colonized grains/cakes.

2.Sterile Procedure: a.Turn off Heat/AC, Shut all windows & turn off all Fans. b.Oust Room c.Shower, wash hands, glove hands & wear a surgical mask. d.Oust once more e.Clean the inside of the tubs (make sure it dries before proceeding) i.I normally Unscrew the lids on my Spawn jars @ this time.

Contaminated spawn would lead to bacteria. Trich in your spawn would long show itself before the jar is 100% in most cases. Trich would be from your substrate not being properly pasteurized.

Ever wonder why they sometimes add Trichoderma spores to coir?
It's because it's naturally sterile. There's virtually no bacteria or fungi on it to begin with.

Trich helps several plant roots, I think.

Are both trueish....
That is the intention, but I've used trich treated coir for seedlings and hydroponic grows before i got into mycology. The honest truth is - that it is more expensive by a few cents to a few dollars and generally the trich is dead by the time you get to use the brick. I stopped buying it a long time ago and stuck with inert substances for plants.
Off topic I know - but if you want good root growth germinate your seeds in damp towels or newspaper. You can weed(pun intended) out your shit starter roots and keep the best looking ones.

But it isn't usually needed as an additive since practically all soil already has Trich in it.
The point is we pasteurize to kill molds while leaving some of the bacteria alive but if there's no native bacteria population then what exactly are we trying to leave alive? That's not to say there aren't other benefits to heat treating substrate

Well we can never be sure that the coir was not exposed to bacteria at some point. While its unlikely but so is finding dead bugs in bags of flour - anything can happen. I do it mostly for the mold issue, only had 1 tub go bacterial and that was my fault for dunking a mono for over 8 hours (got high forgot i dunked the fucker).

I still say the reason the bucket tek fails at times is because of the compression of the brick and uneven heating. I'm willing to bet if one were to hydrate it partially just to be able to expand it, then add the remaining water at 170 or so and seal it up for an hour, it would work just fine.
As far as cooling. After the 60-90 minutes, simply pour into your tub and toss a bit to throw off some heat.

I read somewhere that the idea behind pasteurization is to allow thorough substrate colonization by moderately thermophilic organisms (those whose metabolisms are most active around 120~160°F). Surely there is quite a bit of environmental exposure to all sorts of organisms while hydrating and preparing a substrate for pasteurization, even if it was sterile when it was unwrapped.
I asked a few microbiologists and they said there was weight behind the idea, but could not confirm. Interested on experts' opinions!

If it weren't contam resistant, or at least slower to contam, why do all commercial farms pasteurize their compost and various subs. Sheesh

No one is talking about adding coffee....but if properly pasteurized it should make little difference.
But still very contam resistant, considering if left out in the open it would most likely dry out before anything colonized it.
Plus people(including me) use coir all the time as reptile bedding....left in the tank for a month at a time with no mold growth.
Stop talking out of your ass, as you will get shut down quick round here'.

I'm sure it has but that wouldn't mean much when the bacteria is unable to reproduce on it. Sterilizing most bulk substrates lead to an increase in contamination, despite the fact that bacteria is undoubtedly going start landing on the sterilized substrate right after sterilization.
That's because bacteria can only help prevent mold after there is a sufficient number of them.

Yeah, it'll just dry out, more than likely.
Maybe you should take a break from the pub and come learn something from mush cult. 7000+ posts and you still don't know how pasteurization works

Bacteria is not a contaminant of pasteurized bulk substrate.
If you have bacteria issues with properly pasteurized substrate, you can rest assured that it came from your spawn.
On bucket v proper p.
Bucket tek works a lot of the time. When it fails, it is out of your control (and nothing would have indicated that it failed until you saw the green).
It is not uncommon for people to blame the bucket tek when the culprit is their spawn.
Proper pasteurization eliminates one "what if" in the grand scheme of things, from spore to shroom. That's worth it to me.

This post by Citric makes since to me.
How long can trich stay hidden in a spawn jar?
I know trich looks similar to cube myc until the trich turns green, but what about smell?
If it looks right and smells right, could it really have ninja trich? I mean really.

The only think trich has in common with mushroom mycellium is the color white, but even the shade of white is different.
Trich is PURE white before it sporilates, the texture is different, it looks like mold, and it smells terrible.
