Help, Can't find reason for contamination Monotub
    #27098771 - 12/20/20 05:12 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hey


I am new to cultivating, and I've been having trouble with contamination in my mono tubs last 6 months, and I've been trying different ways to avoid it.

I hope some can help me out.

So i use oats, and been keeping my production going by using grain to grain.
I've started with a spore syringe to grain, i haven't started with agar yet.

But my jars with oats have been looking good, I've smelled all my jars before using.

I then use coir/verm bucket tek in the start, but since my mono tubs kept getting contaminated. i also started to put my substrate into my pressure cooker after bucket tek, to try to avoid. But haven't helped.

My mono tubs, looking very healthy to start with,  right up till fruiting






But what have hap pend with all my mono tubs, is that suddenly contamination goes crazy and starts filling the whole tub with green contamination.






I need help, i can't figure out where the problem lies.

100% from dirty spawn. Going spores to grain is discouraged for this reason.
Triching out before pins is a classic sign of poor spawn. I'd reckon the rest of the jars you g2g will have same outcome.
Have a picture of jars before spawning?

MSS to grain is your problem - without agar you are just hoping that your culture is clean.

Dont have pics no.

Im away from home atm, lost pics for some reason.

I understand, the mycelium in my spawn looks very healthy when i used it.
Been growing fast in my jars, and looks nice a white in jars, and smells like fresh mushrooms.

everything looks like it suppose but, boom and things turn contaminated.

But sounds like i need to start my agar game

ty for reply

Basically in short the ugly truth is grain doesn't really work with MS. Go to a few agar dishes with your spores and clean up your mycelium in 2-3 transfers to insure you get a healthy culture which equals healthy tubs.

Get those tubs out of your house asap.

I wouldn't have let them get that far gone before I scrapped them, and I definitely wouldn't have opened them up in the house once they were.

There could be millions of contam spores floating around in your workspace now, threatening future grows.
