I take the whole sub out to harvest and then slice them with a knife. It's so much easier than leaning into your tub for 20 minutes. Just one of the benefits of a liner

When the veil begins to tear, cut the stipe as low as you can with a pair of scissors or a sharp knife.

Sorry bud - that there is the green meanie. She's toast. If you can isolate the tub you can let it fruit out this flush but it's contaminated for sure.

Hard to say what caused it as I don't know what method you used to pasteurize or if it was adequate. CVG is pretty forgiving to work with in my experience so if you pasteurization was good it may have been lurking in your grain jars. How did you inoculate? If it was a spore syringe are you certain it was clean? Most people here will recommend using agar and a still air box when you start to do mono tubs and work with grain.
Isolate meaning, put it somewhere not near your other grows or prep spaces. That green is spores from the trichoderma and you don't want to get them all over your grow space.
The fruits are 100% good, that is why you might want to move the tub into another room and let that flush finish but then the consensus will probably be to toss it and start another project right away - another 2 projects even. Sometimes they get the green meanie despite all our precautions.

The answer is to have more projects going then you can keep track of, at that point you're almost guaranteed to successfully grow something besides the green menace..

Ok well that's fairly safe if you follow the tek to the T. How about inoculating the grain jars? How did you do that?

MS syringe, lysol alcohol, in a small room. the grain looked/smelled good when i mixed with substrate. there where some spots that didnt look colonized on a couple jars. maybe because there was uncolonized grain added to the sub?

Yup. That's what it was, right there.

Yeah probably that - I also wouldn't trust the syringe personally. Better to grow out whatever is in there on agar and then transfer away only the healthy stuff. If you want to do bulk style grows but don't have the stuff going to do agar etc. you could always try doing bottle tek where you mix the grain and the sub before sterilizing and inoculate the mixture in jars. To fruit you just remove the lid

Do you rehydrate your colonized grain before spawning to your monotub. The tek i used said to soak for 20 mins but other teks dont so i am confused on what to do here. Would bringing in tap water also bring in risk of contamination?

Colonized grain is contam resistant and you spawn in the open air so theres loads of contams in the sub once it is spawned. More likely your contam had a headstart in your grain spawn jars or if you did spawn uncolonized grain then you put uncolonized grain in a highly unsterile environment. Fix what you know for sure went wrong, if you still have issues then re-examine.
