I grow in a less than sterile area. I always remember RR saying that if the spawn is clean, when you set up your substrate, you can sneeze on the surface, no problem.
But is that really true? I'm feeling like my high spore load (Ive had bad mold outbreaks in my space) is hard on the coir, before it gets fully colonized.
Wouldn't the best practice be to be as near sterile as possible with the monotub until fully colonized?

It "can" contaminate...but it's very contaminate resistant...if that helps

The other two I had varying degrees of stuffing. Both the stuffed tubs molded. the taped up one was fine. After a week I have it untaped and stuffed. Looking good.
Sounds like your spawn wasn't clean

Right on. I say dirty spawn because if you’re using the same coir for all the tubs and only half, let’s say, went to mold then the coir can’t be the source...if the contamination was in the coir they would all be toast. Right? 
I remove the moldy tubs because I don’t want my grow area to gather more contamination. For future grows it increases the risk. Plus, eww, you don’t want that nasty stuff in your house.
I mean if I’m wrong someone set me straight on that
