contams spreading/ruining room for future grows?

title says it all. if your sub/cake contaminates while fruiting, how easily can it spread to other tubs/SGFCs in the same room? especially if the contam has been around for a few days and the lid has been opened and such? same goes for the room itself, what is the chance the room will be contaminated for future grows? I ask because there's a corner of my first tub that looks a bit suspicious, I cut out a tiny part yesterday when I first noticed it (before I came on here and read that was a mistake...) so- assuming that my suspicions are indeed correct- I'm wondering if I've fucked my other tub/cakes/grow room in general.

its not a deal breaker, the chances are there but with a properly pasteurized/colonized substrate you should be fine as long as you throw contammed subs out IMMEDIATELY if you have others present in the same room

The dangers are overrated. Just dispose of it and forget it ever happened.

well that's good to hear. what's the best way to clean a contaminated room? and if you caught them late or you didn't throw them out immediately... are you screwed?

no your not screwed, shut off any fans or anything and let the air settle, clean your floors. we have filters on our jars and properly pasturize and fruit when fully colonized, those are the most important steps to avoid contam issues

This.
I inoculated and fruited in the same room for a while. There was one time I tried to push my PF cakes for a 5th flush and 8 of them got trich in about two days. I was worried I'd fucked up the whole room.
I opened the window, cleaned out the fc, vacuumed the floor.
Didn't bleach the walls or steam or anything. Just simple stuff.
Never saw any trich again until I moved my inoculating area into a whole different room lol. Go figure.
