Oh that damn green mold

I seem to have been stricken with the green death. I have been unable to complete a successful grow in over a year. I either before lose all trays before casing or immediately after placing in the fruit chamber. 1 have posted about this issue before and what I got back was that my spawn is probably at fault. I am going to agree that is probably what the problem is but now I am concerned that my grow area is contamned. I use an old freezer as my chamber and it has worked well but it has a lot of little nooks and crannies that are hard to get clean. Should I scrap the freezer and humidifier and start over?

It sounds like the spawn is the problem. That's not to say using an old freezer as a FC is a good idea.

you could start a grow from agar, insuring clean spawn... then, if shit went south, you'd know the environment was at fault... but it's never a bad idea to do a deep clean on general principal... i just had to do one, & start over with fresh spores on agar, & i'm seeing positive results for the first time in about 9 months... been fighting the same demon, it's a bitch...

Just to clarify mold spores in your FC aren't the reason you're seeing mold a couple days after placing them in there so there's really no basis to determine if you're cleaning method have been sufficient.
