Preventing the outbreak of mold from tub
    #27307721 - 05/14/21 01:40 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I wanted to grow mushrooms in my closet. However, I heard the monotubs in which mushrooms grow, are exactly the place where mold likes to grow. To compound this issue, mushrooms needs fresh air exchange to grow, which means any mold which may grow in the tub, would be floating around in my apartment. In addition, I don't want the mushrooms themselves to grow mold. I have considered growing inside a tent, like this: https://www.amazon.com/iPower-Hydroponic-Observation-Window-Growing/dp/B01JN8REQC/ref=psdc_3480699011_t2_B07TXD8L2C?th=1

But I also thought about lining my closest with plastic wrap, and have a zipper to enter. I heard that if contam gets out, I gotta bleach the walls and some other crazy shit. I really want to prevent this and minimize any danger. How valid are my concerns?

You heard a lot and very little of what you heard is true.
Next time you should read the shroomery teks posted by the trusted cultivators.

I have grown multiple tubs in my closet, 12 80L monotubs side by side.
It's important to supply enough fae in a closet, that's all you really need to worry about, and light.

Bodhisatta's teks are all solid.

Mold doesn`t grow in a tub, mold is everywhere and all around.
After a while, mycelium gets weak, and parasite fungi will start their work then.
That`s nature.
To prevent contam, we produce healthy mycelium, let it colonize the given nutrients,
and spend it to tubs in open air then.
Mold spores will land in the tub, but mycelium won`t let them do their work,
mycelium is a living organism and very strong.
With sealing them up in a closet, you`ll run into more issues
than growing in open air.
Tents are another story, hard to dial in and not necessary for cubes.
Just keep it simple mate.
You can grow cubensis everywhere :wink:

I mean, tbh if you want that kind of reassurance im sure you could take the time to learn how to use the search bar, no?
Sounds like what youre saying is "i want to grow mush but I dont want to have to deal with contams"
Lol welcome to the club! None of us "want" to grow molds. It comes with growing mush thou, especially when starting out, youre gonna have contams.
You dont have to bleach your walls or any crazy shit. You have mold spores on you 24/7. You have mold spores in ur vents RIGHT NOW.
Welcome to the shroomery, I hope u give cultivation a chance. Its a great hobby!

I am rather confused to why there would be more issues in a closest. I know many people do that, I thought it was preferred to have a dedicated space in which the mushies could grow. If light is a concern, I could buy a lamp.

Of course it works in a closet.
I meant the "lining with plastic wrap",
which i wasn`t totally sure about.

I have searched on this. The results I got were not helpful. Most of the replies of what people said was "It's not a big deal" and the other side went ham crazy and said shit about bleaching the walls. I'm not trying to religiously avoid contams, it will happen, I am trying my best to prepare and prevent it.

For sure. Best thing to do is follow the link provided to you for TC teks and follow to a T. Read throu The Clean Spawn Checklist as most contams happen before or during inoculation. Please refer to my signature when reading advice from me, im rather new myself.

Again, cubensis isn`t responsible for mold being there.
It`s usually a parasite and jumps over mycelium as it dies away.
No need to panic. Make clean spawn, bulk with coir and everything`s fine.
