Sounds like you know it's time for a reset. Just curious, is it that bad if you do have to? I'm sure it will be a PIA breaking stuff down, but how long do you think it will take to tear down, clean and start over? I think you're right in doing so though, you've been battling this contam for awhile now. Best of luck, bro, after watching all your grows, I'm sure you'll right the ship.

Taking everything out tearing carpet out and cleaning as we speak. I'm not fucking around anymore. Might not be able to afford a flowhood for another month so hopefully this helps in the meantime

I can get it knocked out in the day. Once I get something in my head there's no stopping me.

A mod on the shroomery linked me to some vital knowledge on purchasing flow hoods from industrial second hand distributors. Kind of like how some business will sell there cars after a couple years even though they're brand new and you get it for a crazy marked down price. I will dig up the info and post back shortly.

I'm just hoping the people that laid the carpet before I moved in Didn't glue the padding down. hate tearing that s*** out.

That was gonna be the next thing I posted lol. I just hope the floor underneath isn't going to give you more trouble than the carpet lol

Haha no kidding bro. It will either barely be stapled around the edges or completely glued down lmao. Floor scraper and solvent. Been there :wall:

Doesn't help that there's stuff everywhere from Christmas, so it's garbage day and the tree lawn is packed from Taking shit out. Not to mention I have the flu. FML SMH

7L!fTeD24 · Dec 28, 2023

Thanks again you guys for the input. Hope everyone had a good Christmas. My new years resolution is to get this shit figured out. Oh and quit smoking but thats every year lol

I'm wondering if this big ass 8 inch carbon filter and inline fan could be used in any way. Since I stopped growing Bud when it became legal LOl, It's just been gathering dust.

7L!fTeD24 · Dec 28, 2023

Thank god the padding's not glued down and there's some decent Flooring underneath it not just particle Board.

Well, I got the carpet torn out everything Put back and scrubbed the inside of the tent out with Disinfectant and bleach and the Tent is empty, so I'll Be doing my work inside of it until I fill it back up if I can. Hopefully this helps me out a little

Just a suggestion, but what about spraying a whole can of Lysol in the room the tent is in?
I dont have much experience, but I've inoculated in a room with carpet with forced air heat with success. I'd dump a whole can of Lysol up in the air, top to bottom of the room and let it clear for an hour or two before going back in to work. This was without a tent.

I usually spray alcohol throughout the entire room The lysol spray is a good idea.

It will probably be much cheaper going the lysol route. I wasn't shy with it either, i bought the tall cans and would use a whole can in a room smaller than yours.

What does it mean when I have white floaters growing on the top of my liquid culture ? Starting to think that the room is just heavily infested with various types of mold spores. We're gonna have to tear everything down and clean really good I guess. So confused things went so well for so long. And now I can't get a single tub to work.

It means that the last time you agitated the jar some mycelium caught a bubble and was lifted to the surface. It gets more air up there so it grows faster.

Unless it turns a color other than white it's not contamination.

Taking everything apart and cleaning it all is a good idea but unless you find some hidden vector, it won't much help.

Let us know how it works out.
