To be clear, I mean clean them before loading. Only wipe the ring and lid post pc


I only wipe down the donor jar or plate, the one that's been hanging out in open air. The foil hats get pulled from my jars inside my SAB, right after they got pulled from the PC. I don't wipe those lids before inoculating. Same for fresh plates.


I dont use foil. Probably should, but its a corner I've gotten away with cutting

So I probably just figured out what the genesis of this was.

I took the sub of a contaminated tub outside and dumped it. And looking at the grain where it split you can see good myc in areas but there’s clearly grain that is surrounded by trich. So I likely had trich in a grain jar that I didn’t spot. I’m betting that it became airborne when I mixed it with the coir and it found its way elsewhere. The timing lines up.

And while I was spraying my mixing tub just now I dropped it and the corner shattered. So instead of making sure it’s clean I now get to buy another tub.

Anything is possible, but I seriously doubt that's what happened.

That patchwork pattern of good myc interspersed with trich is pretty standard. It just means that trich got a foothold in some weakened areas first. Trich is EVERYwhere. It probably has spores germinating on our substrates all the time. But when myc is healthy, it can kill the baby trich right away. When it's weakened and dying, trich has something to latch onto and start decomposing.

Also, the green is just spores. Where there's green, there's always a larger network of trich mycelium in the background. Either interlaced with the cube myc, or as a solid patch of off-white stuff.

i tend to agree.  id still be leaning toward poor conditions in the tub.  field cap too high will do it every time.  choking, high co2/rh. 

best way to prevent trich at the bulk level is to make sure your myc has optimal conditions.

trich genus is 89.7 million years older than homosapiens and i suspect it will be around hundreds of millions of years after we are gone. 

trich just giggles at your ozone generator but cowers in fear of a healthy mushroom culture..

however, all tubs ultimately lose the war to trich via attrition in the end.  the idea is making sure the myc puts up a good enough fight to get what you want.

For sure.  Use common sense and clean off any thick crust buildup that would still remain after the pc.  or anything that might be blocking visibility on your jars

I do that as well. I'm just saying for the most part it's not necessary for me. a quick rinse and rub with my hand gets them clean enough.

I definitely give anything extra attention that needs it. I just don't for anything that doesn't.


Also my bad. Tryp,  I agree its worth discussing if your trying to find a vector.

Dogma used to state if you're getting mold prior to first flush then it was in your spawn.

I have a few examples of dogma I disagree with, but to me, this one follows logic

I don't wear a mask, but I did start wearing a clear face shield while doing SAB work. It definitely helped a little, since I tend to breathe heavy while I'm trying to still my shaky, nerve-damaged hands in the box. And it's not all up on my face, which is a bonus.

This weekend my wife and I ordered an Uber and to our surprise. The car that pulled up was empty.

It was a "waymo" fully autonomous robotaxi.

Pretty cool.  It connects to your phone via Bluetooth so when you walk up to the doors it unlocks itself and they pop open. You hop in and it says hello to you by name.

You got full control of all the air conditioning and music. there's even videos and movies and stuff you can watch.

Then you buckle up  and  your on your way. It didn't go on the highway.. not sure I would have been comfortable to do that anyways:lol:


In all it was a pretty neat experience.
