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.

Good job on growing the apocalypse :mostinteresting:,  but all kidding aside fucky willy myco :feelswierman:  that guys the full blown aids of mycology,  spores to grain is always sketch look into starting from agar,  And ur tubs should be fine , just wash em good in the shower with some bleach n soap n water n theyll be fine for next time,  ive had tubs tam out bad before n i just give em a little rinsy n im golden,

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.

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

Contamination can be very hard to spot in spawn. Even with a clean culture on agar it can get in during inoculation or G2G transfer if there is a lapse in technique.

Trich sporulates after spawn run when you put the substrate in fruiting because you are also putting the Trich into fruiting conditions.

But more likely it is bacteria in your spawn. Bacteria can weaken your sub and allow molds like Trich to attack.

If your tub goes green before or during the first flush you can bet its your spawn.




Syringe to grain is OK but most people don't do it right. A single drop is all that is needed for inoculation, and several jars should be inoculated . After careful examination the cleanest should be used as a G2G master. Its the best way to reduce the chance of contamination using syringe to grain .
That Willy Myco guy is an idiot though

Wow, if you would have dumped that tub a week ago cleaning wouldn't have been an issue.

Now that its like that I would toss the entire thing.

There's more trich spores on there than all the humans alive now and that have ever lived added up.

On agar we often make an extra transfer (or two) to transfer away from the initial (possible) contamination.

.... the tub is fine... just dump the sub outside and wash it with a dish sponge, soap & hot water.

all mine get washed in a bathtub that has a hot hose with a sprayer nozzle ran from the washing machine's spigot.

have re used tubs that look like that many many times as they don't always get emptied right after harvest.

spores to grain is unprotected sex in a swingers club. somebodies catchin somethin at some point.

mold will grow on agar true. thats point yo. then you cut healthy myc away and grow that out. 100% clean culture for your grains.

100 trillion spores don't scare me. OP just needs to make clean spawn, simple as that. A contaminated tub is nothing to worry about. 20 is nothing to worry about.

I think it got contaminated when I put the mycelium in the substrate, i put the tubs away for 7 days and when i came back to create pins i saw the green mold, the only difference from last time was I used same jars and tubs, I sterilized the jars and cleaned the tubs, at least i think i did.

Clean with soap and water and let dry.  Just prior to spawning to bulk wipe the inside and outside of the tubs, and lids with an alcohol soaked paper towel.  No need to use new tubs.

I would most definitely take them outside first and dump them in plastic bags. Use a water hose to hard spray the inside and outside thoroughly, then use a good soap like antibacterial Dawn or something similar with a sponge to get close and personal with all the baddies growing.
Be careful of transferred trichoderma that will stick on your clothes and follow you into your house. It can really ruin your area. Wash whatever you're wearing immediately, or at least be sure to bathe and change before going back into your grow.
A 10% bleach solution will also help as a secondary precaution. Wipe with 91% iso before tubbing and you should be good to go

I have heard that 70% breaks down the cellular walls of bacteria at a slower rate which in turn helps neutralize the nucleus more efficiently; but I have also witnessed that 91% in my friend's tubs have had no contams. I think it's just a matter of preference.

Yea with a tub that bad I wouldn’t even open it. Toss it outside.

Better luck next time

No, it's a matter of science. And Iso doesn't kill mold spores, bleach does.

Yea 70% ISO is better for our purposes.

I've moved green tubs out to the garage before meaning to dump them later and forgot, a number of times.
Sometimes the green mold is even difficult to scrub off!

I use dishsoap and a hose. I usually wash them twice, I really really scrub them. Gotta get a the nooks where fragments of Trich myc hide out

Maybe read a book about the subject H4dr0n, perhaps a chemistry book or two. Or something more simple and practical like Google. It works...cheers!

No worries. In fact I googled it after reading and my understanding was indeed wrong.
Not sure where I learned what I thought was correct.
But how I had learned was that you need a certain percentage because the cell is looking to absorb water and inadvertently absorbs the alcohol causing the destruction of the cell and that if the % alcohol was too high that the cell won’t absorb it.
So that’s wrong apparently. Or maybe just a very elementary explaination of the process that I misinterpreted. Either way. Thanks
