Trich?

So i looked at my z strain monotub today and saw trich.... I picked all the fruits i could ( probably only got an eighth ) and then threw the fucker out. MY question is, i have another monotub, and what can i do to prevent it from getting trich? I had a suspicion something was up with the z tub because all the pins were very skinny. How can i stop it from spreading to my other tub?

Molds don't "spread" like a cold.
Molds that appear before the first flush are usually due to a bad spawn jar or failed pasteurization.
Just keep your fruiting conditions good in your other tub and step up your sterile procedures when you start your next project

Oh, thank you. I though trich was airborne and spread through spores? My other tub looks AWESOME and will be harvesting soon. the contaminated tub gave me an eighth in pins dry so all in all I walked away with something from that tub. My other tub should be ready to harvest within the next few days. I think my major mistake with my z strain tub was spawning to early, because now that i think back, I did! This other tub was spawned on time with lots of knots and is looking good.

It does but it doesn't just pop up overnight from spores. The mold doesn't become visible until it has been growing for some time already.
