im extremely at a loss here and I have NO idea what is going on.

ok so first off I'm not a noob. I have been doing this for over 5 years now an my methods previous to my last move have been great.  mold here and there but nothing crazy was always able to pin point what happened and adjust if needed.

Fast forward to now.  I bought a new house, moved, in the house I actually BUILT a room for this.  simple 10x12 room no windows no fans, essentially a storage room that I could use for my grows.
since moving here I've hadn't basically nothing but mold.  1 or 2 tubs have had some growth but at the end of the day would get taken over by mold after 1 partial flush.
I would like to point out that I moved to 10k feet and have been adjusting PC times etc for that more details below.

the process:

Agar:
using Your tek here but instead of petri's I use Ball small jars with plastic lids and holes.
im soaking all instruments in alcohol between transfers and using torch to flame red hot in between as well just like your videos show.
I feel like my agar looks really good. "hary" crawling looking spawn.  I definitely see mold but transfer away from it just like your supposed to do with this method.
from initial Knock I transfer 3 times till my growth looks simple and clean.

Seed:
using WBS (Pennington brand).
soak 12 hours, removing 90% of black seeds and "floaters".
Rinse at start of soak, then half way though, then again at the end.  water always looks clean when im ready to dry.
dry with hair dryer till almost dry but not quite all the way.

jars:
Ball 1 quart jars with plastic lids
fill each one to the A in Ball and add lid
tape each lid with paper tape over hole and cover with tinfoil
each PC' gets 4 quarts of water due to altitude and intense water evaporation.
I have addition weight on my weights in order to get my PC's up 19psi and not evaporate in 1 hour or less.
I purge each PC til they hit about 3 psi, then ad weight and raise to 19psi, then let sit for 2.5 Hours. Doing research on PC times this is what I had to adjust to in order to PC properly.
remove jars and let sit in the room till they reach room temp.  (usually over night)

Coir:
simple really,
white buckets with solid seal lids, 1 brick, 2 quarts Verm and 4 quarts water
let sit (usually over night) til room temp.

Tubs:
Unmodified tub tek
I spray each with 70% alcohol and let sit for 5 min then wipe them down (lid included)
I mix 5 jars with I bucket of coir.
I use fresh latex gloves to help ensure cleanliness

Incubate:
tubs sit on a shelf I built with no light (ish) till I see nice growth and pins start to show up.
once I see pins I pop the lid and let it rest on top of the handles.

.....  and then I get mold.

if you feel we need to DM this and get more specific about stuff let me know but im seriously at a loss here. I feel like im being BEYOND clean etc and im still getting mold.

thanks ahead of time for your time.
cheers

and i already put my spawn down into tubs but here are photos of the tubs after 3 weeks or so.  the first is a tub that's currently pinning.  this is one of 4.  2 of 4 of them went bad.  the 2nd photo is one of the tubs that went bad, the other looks similar.

the 2nd and 3rd photos are the newest tubs i've put down, this is after about a week.

i'll have to send photos of the spawn in my seed after the newest afgar starts to take.
