Help ! Cobweb mold is making me look like a beginner.
    #5764230 - 06/18/06 12:40 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

hi there.  i am not a newbie at cultivation (yet i would never consider myself an expert as there is always so much to learn).  i have had fairly high rates of success with pf style cakes, moved onto to casing sliced cakes.  then did OK with manure substrates and grain substrates.  i had some contamination at times as does any home cultivator but it was an acceptable rate.  i do use a good quality sterilizer and have been working in front of a flow hood for some time now (i rarely have contams within jars or bags during incubation), incubation is not a problem.  right now though I am going through one my worst periods that I have ever experienced as a cultivator.  Cob web mold is killing my caseings and over the past month or so I am losing almost everthing to it.  i am searching for help here and just joined this forum.  let me provide a little more info and maybe someone can help.  i sterilize my casings, sometimes using vermic/coco and more often using vermic/peat.  in front of the flow hood i spray my trays with alcohol, let them dry, then add substrate and casing.  after covering with tin foil, i send the trays back to an 80 degree container.  after 4/5 days i send them to fruiting chambers.  i have noticed cob web mold even at this time then on some trays a few days after they are in their fruiting chamber. Stamets book says cob web mold is mostly airborne.  my set up is in an old basement and i know there is mold present but i never had such a problem with this until now.  a few trich contams here and there and an occasional cob web contam, but that was it.  now cob web is getting about 9 out of every 10 trays.  yikes !! - i thought i was improving my cultivating and now i am having thoughts of giving it up (there are so many hours of time and subtrate product down the drain this past couple months), it really has me down.  here are a few things that i am planning to do to try to resolve the problem, take a look at these, and let me know if this is the correct approach or please add any suggestions.  1.  i put an air purifier (one that is able to capture mold spores) in the room, it will run constantly.  2.  in addition to spraying my trays with alcohol, i was thinking of microwaving them as well.  3.  the basement is practically sealed and the air is somewhat stagnant, the new purifer will move some air but should I open a window down there? :frown:
4.  I was also going to try the 'spray the crap out of the air with disinfectant technique' before working down there.
help and thanks,
f
