First real contam issues. 1

RIP
any advice for making this stop? It’s my second large tub in a month to go green mid flush. I Think it’s my spawn, or my dirty house from the early 60s? I started fresh a few months ago so every tub has been MS so far. I’m cleaning up my first clones still. I’m leaning towards it being the ms spawn and not my old dirty house because I had a mini mono that had a full first flush with no contams the week after my last large tub which did contam. That mini tub is actually putting out a fat 2nd flush right now sitting right next to this big tub that’s going green. If it was the house wouldn’t the mini mono have gotten down with the sickness as well?
I’ve had the MS syringes for about 3 years now sitting in a box in a drawer. They were left over from the LAST time I started fresh lol. Their age is another thing that makes me think they may be the culprit but I don’t know much at all about contams this is my first time dealing with them so I foolishly never learned much about them.
Could it be from improper pasturizatuon? I’m using the noob bucket tek with coir and verm, but I had succes using that tek with 20 tubs or more before starting fresh in this new house and running into contam issues.

Thank you so much anyone who can give me some advice to fight this issue.

Your best solution is clean it all up on agar and inoc your jars with a wedge. This way you can make sure the culture used is clean. You may also take a look at your grain prep, perhaps there are contams being missed by the sterilization process you use. Bucket tek with Coir/Verm always works for me as long as I cap off the bucket so that it retains 100+ degrees temp for an extended period of time, which is usually 4-6hrs. MS syringes are not reliable ever. Especially stored for long periods of time. Look up diffusion, it'll explain why.

It's always the spawn on the first flush. I've never seen healthy spawn go bad before the first flush even in open air in a carpeted room with rats and dogs.
