Unknown contaminants in tub......
    #22008888 - 07/28/15 10:34 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey I made a few photos of these contaminants in my mono tub. This is my third tub in a row i have lost!  In the pictures it might not be easy to tell but there seems to be little white balls colonizing the straw and hpoo. I think there is cobweb in there also unfortunately.  If anyone can help me find out what contaminants are in my tub I would greatly appreciate it!
I also have a Azurescen tub going also and there are zero contaminants in that, so I am not thinking my work space is contaminated (I understand the Azure's are tougher than cubes when it comes to fighting off contaminants but I keep diseased or suspicious jars and tubs away from the other healthy ones)
I did all necessary sterility steps before anyone asks. The straw/poo was in a tub but i took the whole bag out of the tub to get a better view. Regardless, if anyone can help i.d these free-loading jerks I would greatly appreciate it! Thank-you!
The last 2 tubs I think had bad spawn because they ended up smelling like rotten apples or something.....Every tub before these were completely healthy so I am pretty rotted about losing 3 in a row!

It looks pretty wet, moldy, and yeasty imo. Looks like you need to let the straw dry out more during prep.  Work on your spawn more. Also being manure heavy works great too. It soaks in water real nicely

Also straw is supposed to be chopped up fine. A lot more finer than that. Some people use a shredder or mulcher who don't like doing it by hand
