You can sterilize coir because it doesn't have the beneficial microbes that compost/poo/straw does in it.

No leak ball lids haven't triched so it must be getting in under the lid.



Ive been taping and using parafilm on the gap between the jar and lid.

My fix will be to no longer use white plastic lids.

Yeah, with spring upcoming in the PNW and me working with primarily Zapos I should have plenty to contribute to this thread. :lol: Damn, and I just chucked a beautiful three shades of green mess out this morning too. :facepalm:

I love this thread. TC's proving that contams can be very sneaky. I just discovered that the pre-mixed agar recipe I was using had a 2 to 1 sugar to agar ratio. I've had constant problems with mold at first flush. And I think I wasn't cleaning my plate transfers well because of the extra sugar. Or thats my current working hypothesis.

Its so sad to have them go green. ugh.

For those that are commenting on white plastic lids, are you using the little rubber gaskets? Ive been using the plastic lids for years with seemingly no issues, but I use the gaskets.

I have run into contam issues the past 6 months for some reason. Its been since I moved to FL, last year I was only hitting like 50% success rate. Never had these issues in MD. After almost 20 years of on and off growing MS pretty darn successfully, I finally made the jump to agar a few months ago. I have my first tub of SAT  going right now started from agar that Im super paranoid about it molding up. Its 8 days in and I think it looks ok so far, but Im just waiting any day to go check on it and find its gone green on me. This thread actually makes me feel a little better, Ive been getting pretty frustrated here lately. If it does, Ill be sure to post here!

No gasket, but I've been phasing them out with leak proof lids anyways :shrug:

I'll be using bags once I upgrade my flowhood, 2x1 is a bit of a pain with bags atm.

I still have some, never used the gasket. Always had problems, but I also do vent the PC for longer and run longer cycles. This time back I find myself going ok, 90 mins is up.... Let's let it roll for another 45-1HR.

I also wrap the white lids until they're all phased out with leak proof. That being said I've also had many successful grows when I used to use pp5 twist locks with the lid cracked for GE.

I've put aside contaminated tubs before and got a handful of fruits out of them, but that's about it.

I'm getting green in my tubs now after so many tubs with zero issue. I'm blaming it on having been watching this thread.

Im pretty sure my first attempt at an un- moded tub is going to contaminate. Ill be really surprised if it doesnt.It doesnt look right in the middle, kinda greyish and opaque, though its tough to see. The sides look nice and white and fluffy though. I don't know what happened recently. Im just in a rut in the last 6 months, its getting frustrating. :shrug:

This is what Ive been dealing with. Looks like cobweb possibly. Theres a webby kind of structure overlaying the middle of the tub.

Another tub with trich. You can see the individual grain that caused the infection. No more oats going forward, no more white plastic lids.
