Christmas in January! (Updated with pic)

Just wanted to share an experience I had today. In a couple of other threads I shared that I lost my bulk grow to Trich. So I immediately got 12 1 quart jars going as soon as possible. Today, I was ready to pull out a petri dish that I had saved from the previous attempt. I'm getting everything ready and taking inventory. Mask, (check), Exacto knife, (check), Alcohol,(check), Gloves, (check). Then when I go into the stand up dresser to look for other items...BAMMMMM! What do you think is staring me straight in the face? A FULLY COLONIZED QUART JAR OF ECUADOR! My jaw dropped and I felt like I just got a Christmas present! How could I have missed that from the previous bulk grow? I don't know, but I just saved myself what..... about 3 weeks! I thank the shroom gods up in heaven for having me absentmindedly missing that jar when I spawned to bulk. Just thought I'd like to share my excitement with ya all.
Well, I just wanted to update the above post with a picture of where I'm at today. First off, I'd like to inform all of you that I tempted the contamination gods on this one. I pulled the fully colonized WBS quart jar and put it into a clean glass bowl. I sprayed the bowl down with disinfectant spray and wiped it down with alcohol prior to putting the Bird seed in. I then crumbled it down to the point of individual grain. The I poured the contents of the nine prepped quart jars I had made the prior day. I had mask, gloves and all the regular items to make this as sterile as possible. Then I just mixed, mixed, and mixed until I felt that the grain had been sufficiently been inoculated with the grain spawn. I filled the jars all the way to the top. NO room for shaking! There should be no reason to shake if the grain is thoroughly mixed right? I did all of this in front of my homemade "Flowhood". All in open air. Here is where I am 6 days later!
 Upon inspection, there is no contamination.

Ha! Don't think that I haven't started mapping ideas on what I will do different. That was the first time in a long time trich had paid a visit.

My heart go out to you! Man it's a kick in the nuts when you put so much work and time only to loose it to trich. I wish someone could have taken a picture of my expression when I saw the jar. I literally said, "OH MY GOD".
