Cleaning monotubs
    #24919583 - 01/16/18 10:38 PM (7 years, 1 day ago)

I researched on this forum how to clean my monotub but I got green mold. Maybe someone else made a mistake like me and can tell me what I did wrong. The first monotub was a success, so I did another one with the same tubs, I researched this forum and bleach/rubbing alcohol was the solution. So I sprayed the tub with 10% bleach, wiped it down with rubbing alcohol then laid my substrate, in a few days I noticed the green mold and after 6 days it took over my monotub, I am going to buy new tubs but was wondering if anyone else tried to clean their monotubs and got green mold and how they got over it. Or, any chance of salvaging the tubs to fruit?

they have been thrown away, getting new tubs, so no worries, but, I dont get why first time pure white, second time pure green, lol, I cleaned the tubs with bleach and rubbing alcohol, maybe I need to soak the tubs in bleach, i did spray, and maybe I need to wipe with rubbing alcohol multiple times?

I followed Willy Myco on Youtube, again the first time everything came out perfect, the second time I did everything the same but used the same tubs, I dont think I cleaned them good enough but not sure how to clean them perfectly.

So spore syringe directly to grain? Agar? Substrate?

yup, spore syringe in grain, wait till jar is full white, sprinkle in substrate, the first few days full white, then when I was ready to create pins I saw a little green, came back a few days later and the whole tub was green, I guess I am just getting new tubs every grow.

It'll be the spawn. It's been happening to me every time I try a bulk grow. Your spawn isn't clean enough. Like the Pictures here these jars are bacterial. If I go to bulk with these they will go green.

Don't worry about the tubs man, if the sub was full white in a few days then it was mold not mycelium.
How long did the jars take to colonize after inoculation?
If you nocced quarts with spores and they were done in a week or two, it wasn't cubensis.
You'll learn to recognize the difference between a good mycelium, and sketchy bullshit. Unfortunately failure is the most reliable way to learn.

Check you're spores and sterile technique with agar first, check you pressure cooking second, check that your lids are made properly third, that you're coir isn't the weird pre-wet shit with trich added for plants fourth, and then finally if everything else is perfect and you get contamination again you could maybe suspect the tubs. It's not the tubs though.

Work on sterile tek by reading through some threads like these:

I did the soap, bleach, wipe, rise, wipe down with rubbing alcohol, but still got green mold, also, wait till jar is full white = fully colonized, again first time everything was perfect, sterilized the jars, inoculate, grew, mixed in substrate, when i was ready to create pins to fruit I noticed the green.

:lolwut:

I can see how you might be fixated on the tub as the vector. However, with the cleaning procedure you described, IMO, it is highly unlikely that your plastic tub is the problem...unless you keep that tub you linked- WoW!



[For posterity, I shrunk and uploaded your contam photos... epic!]


What substrate did you use and how did you prepare it before spawn?

Also, keep in mind Multi-Spore (MS) syringes are inherently dirty. To help, Agar Tek is used to transfer away from contams and is highly regarded as "the way".  It's not difficult nor expensive and can be a lot of fun, IMO.

I nerd out with the best of them on YouTube, as well. However, I recommend finding one of the rock stars you like on this site and follow one of their Teks to the letter.  I like Bod's easy AF approach; here's a link to his journal.


Oh yeah, and Mushboy is a Legend so there's that.


Good luck!

It´s not your tubs fault if you get mold, it´s probably your spawn that was infected :shrug:

Your shit went green cuz u went spores to grain dude , not ur tubs,  just cuz ur jars were fully colonized doesnt mean they were colonized with cube myc.
If your guna use spores do pf, otherwise do agar , get clean spawn, make nice tubs , be happy , easy peezy :apestheclown:

Your substrate definetly went green because of bad spawn.


Forget the bleach and rubbing alcohol. The only thing you need to clean dirty tubs with is soap and water. Make sure to scrub out all the crevices.

I don't know why everyone is blaming this on spores to grain. I have 2 quarts I did MS to grain that will be harvested within the week.

Were the spores contaminated? Likely, but mold would have happened on agar, grain, or any other medium if the spores were bad.

The plastic tub isn't your problem. Your spawn is. I would suspect you have a problem with a hidden contamination in your culture.

Only thing I have to add to this is "Fuck Willy Myco" And never go syringe to grains.

If the syringe didn't contain mold, it likely contained bacteria, that weakens the mycelium and opens it up to mold contamination. Syringe to grain is a crap shot
