Years after starting this little hobby of ours I can safely state "IT NEVER GETS ANY EASIER" You always get that crushing defeat feeling when the green shows up.

Yeah, that just makes it even worse. Just when you think you have it under control it shows up and gives ya the finger.

Damn the green. *wipes away tear*
I think I'm gonna case this time around. I'm still trying to figure out where I went wrong.

Pre-colonisation = dirty syringe or improper sterilisation
Post colonisation = possibly the above-listed but likely dirty surroundings and/or bad conditions like too much water in jar or too high temperatures.
Birthed = dirty surroundings, possibly any of the above-listed.
Cased = dirty casing/hands/bins/air during casing or maintenance. or casing is kept too wet. generally none of the above-listed.
edit: i'd recommend reading Stamet's GGMM's chapter 7 (IINM) called "Vectors of Contamination". It offers an excellent outline against which you can review your methods.

Sometimes.... it is just the "peeking" bug that gets over on you.
You know you should not "peek", to much.
But, everything is going SO PERFECT.
You are proud of getting to the point, pins are about to form.
Looks like it's going to be the best pin set -- EVER.
You TRY to refraim..... from "peeking".
You FIGHT the impulse to "peek".
The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
You give in to the impulse & "peek".
While you admire your pride & joy.
Out of knowwhere & invisible to you................
An invisible "peeking" bug waifs in, on unfelt currents of air & lands on the casing, without you knowing it.
You close the grow chamber, full of pride.
Not knowing, the die is cast.
The "peeking" bug..... germinates......
The GREEN takes a foothold.
