Can someone help me out here? I'm towards the second half of my first ever bulk op. I've got 2 dub tubs roughly 97-98% colonized and I'm ready to prepare my casing. I'll be using 50/50+ with hydrated lime and gypsum as buffers... My problem is I don't know how much casing material I need for a 1" thick layer... I know I've seen a calculator for this type of thing around here somewhere, but I can't find it for the life of me... The tubs are 19.5"lx13"w and I need a 1" casing. If anyone could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how many quarts, but the dimensions are stated above. That's the calculator I was looking for, but the ones I kept pulling up weren't compatible with my pc. Thanks a bunch. Looks like I'll need around 10 quarts of casing mix altogether.

thats ridiculous!!!
thats a shit load!
why are you using 1"?
when you can get away with, and might have better results with 1/4" - 1/2"

You think I should go with 1/2" my sub is roughly 6" deep in one tub, and probably around 4-5" in the other. Like I said, this is my first bulk, so I'm just taking a stab in the dark based on some things I've read.

I saw some guy who said he put his tubs into fruiting conditions immediately after casing. He posted a pic to show off the tub, but it was an old post, and the picture was deleted... Do you think this would give me desireable results, or should I place back in the dark for a few days?

general consensus says to let it colonize a little more after applying casing.
the few times ive cased, i put directly into fruiting

yeah it was fine. not sure if it affects pinset really. (i dont know this factually)
i think its more just so when you put it into fruiting conditions IT FRUITS. while if you apply the casing, then put directly into fruiting conditions you have to wait it out anyway and being that fruiting conditions are slightly different than colonizing conditions...
i dont know man, sorry. it works either way, but the board pretty unanamously agrees to cover and let colonize a few days after casing

Ya, I'll probably cover it back up... I'm just getting anxious. It took my 12 quarts of EQ like a month and a half to fully colonize, and I spawned over 2 weeks ago... I guess when I started this I imagined it would be done by now, but patience is the name of the game. Thanks for the help.
