Thanks. Interesting response... I would love to hear more about this... Especially from someone who's had trich in their room and still does grows with good potency in said room.

13shrooms says he can't grow in his house anymore. :shrug:  Could maybe pop in the AMU Q&A and ask him, since he's mostly in there.  That's not the demographic you're looking for but he obviously has experienced contamination hell.

Most of us have had trich at one time and still produce good potency grows though.  I don't know how many have let tubs get entirely forest green and sit for days and still grow though.  I'm imagining a good few.  But we all move and clean house and such now and then.




ahem

Whew... What a relief... Thanks Pastye and Inoc... You guys rock...!

Air purifier in the room is not that bad of an idea. Might have to hop on that.

And what's blackdust? lol...

I'm starting to consider it. Never had too much issue at first but run a couple hundred tubs and you start to see small percentages add up. I want to get my success rate to 98-99% for 2016.

At that point I plan to switch heavy into ganodermas and the sporeloads from those are not forgiving. I still will want to do the occasional active grow and enoki as well, be nice to not have those taken over by reishi when I do grow them :tongue:

I have one but the filter is getting a little old.  Might replace the filter and then try to modify it with additional filtration, maybe silicone some EZ felt to it or something.  I wonder if that would cause it to burn out.  It's not much resistance but it could add up..

I should also note that my biggest issue has never been trich. Almost every tub that triched out in the last couple years was traced back to bacteria as the vector. My biggest problem has always been verticillium fungicola, I believe my house had a large sporeload of it to begin with. It was my first big contam and is the number one reason i push high FAE and cooler fruiting temps.

While I'm not looking forward to the discovery of a number of potentially harmful invaders has contaminated any part of my tubs or cultures, I am curious as to what lurks silently in my home. My home is all hardwood and tile. I wonder if people with carpet struggle more with controlling the airborn fungal spores, bacteria, pollin, or even parasites? I've had carpet in the past and seen what lives under the mat. It's no laughing matter!

With that being said, I also worry about what I carry into my home from work and from the streets. Clostridium, Campulobacter, E.coli... Shudder... I love my job but there is a reason why I take my shoes off before I walk in the door and shower before I do anything else after work.

Carpets do suck, I am currently ripping all the carpets out of my house and replacing with hardwood. Only have 3 rooms and a staircase to go :facepalm:

Awe Pasty, you are going to LOVE being carpet free. I haven't lived in a home with carpet since I pulled up our last carpet and saw what was living under it...And I am a clean freak. I can only imagine what some people have growing right under their noses.

There are a few downsides- 1. If you live in a colder climate (which I do not) than it gets cold. And if you don't routiney sweep and vacuum the floors then you will notice dirt regularly. I have 3 dogs. I have to sweep daily or else hair rolls through my house in tumbleweed like fashion. BUT it woud have been there too if I had carpet, only I wouldn't be as aware, Gross..
