So i know what I am experiencing is trich, unfortunately after the first flush. Question is I have seen people suggest h202 sprays or doing a 1% bleach dunk. I have a few cakes, considering doing the bleach dunk then crumbling the cakes to spawn and casing it.
Anyone have experience here with these methods? I dont want to lose all that past work but if so be it then I will torch them. Id just like at least 2 flushes.
Either way, round two will be :hump:
 
Trich thrives in acidic conditions. Your mycelium exudes acids as a way of digesting nutrients. You will always get trich eventually. You can control surface outbreaks with rich paste of table salt or baking soda applied to the offending colonies.

Do not use infected cakes to inoculate, you will fail.

Further, mites love trich. If you invite them, they will spread the disease from generation to generation.

Your best bet is to dispose of them in sealed bags, clean the area and start again

If the trich geminates from subsurface colonies you cannot control it.

Good luck
