First grow in years !!!! Questions on my Spawn, substrate and casing layer amount
    #25228195 - 05/25/18 03:34 PM (5 years, 9 months ago)

I Have TWO bags of rye grain One pound each, two 5 pound bags of h-poo and two 5 pound bags of casings  With one mono tub that holds 56 quarts.  I know I will not use all of the casing What i was wondering if I should use both bags of rye with both bags of H-poo

Maybe go buy another tub and split them up. Don’t wanna put all your eggs in one basket... wait for a TC to chime in though

Two 1lb bags of rye with one 5lb bag of substrate is a 1:2.5 spawn ratio. Some use more spawn for less sub, but you should be fine to use that.

Hey misfit I would personally get two smaller tubs if possible. If youre going to use the bigger tub just put it all in.

I'm really bad at visualizing when it comes to weight of substrate. Does the hpoo say how much volume it will fluff up to when opened?

None of use work by weight all of us work by volume.

Most of the time people talk about bags by weight its premade shit. Most people don't want to come tell you that the premade stuff is super hit and miss

For my first, I used two 1lb bags with a 5lb bag of purchased sub. It gave me 2.7 inches in the bottom of a spitball tek monotub. Have since tried a 44 quart ziploc weather seal totes and tried Bods unmodified tek. It gave just over 3 inches deep in the 44 quart ziploc. Hope that helps give an idea for volume. The 1lb bags are basically a quart jar of grains. But a 5lb bag of substrate is more like 2.5 ish quart jars.
