8 pints of wbs

I have 8 pints of viable 100% colonized wbs. Any suggestions as to the preferred method for an amount small like this? I was thinking put it all together uncased and fruit or maybe 50/50+ casing..... this isint enough really to spawn to straw right?

8 pints = 4 quarts = a monotub Or two shoebox tubs. Or four of the quart-size lunch containers.
Spawn that stuff, man. Spawn it.

Well, I'm a huge fan of coir+coffee. But straw is popular. Or poo, or whatever. But 8 pints is a lot of spawn.

If you live in the sticks, I bet there are horses. I would get some horse manure and pasturize it, it's easier than straw. IMO. CH

At a 4:1 spawn ratio, you could have a 5 gallon bucket's worth of fruitable substrate. That's plenty.
I also like a coir/coffee sub. Whatever floats yer boat.

I have not attempted coir and coffee yet, any suggested or recommended teks worth giving a shot? I really didnt realize, I guess, that 8 pint jars is that much, I used to throw a pint into a sandwich size tupperware container with a light 50/50+ on top (some pics in my gallery) and fruit that....

Haven't seen you around much. You were one of my favorite posters when I first started reading here. Always good advice. ~Pixie~

Thanks! I appreciate that.
Yeah, I've been pre-occupied.. But, I think I'm gonna take a shot at a 50 gallon PE super-tub, so I need to brush up a little so I know what to blame the inevitable contamination on.
Anyhoo.. antimatt3r.. Here is How I Make a Coir Bulk Sub. It's pretty easy, and there is a link to Mitch's Coir tek in there as well.. Don't over think it. Hope that helps!

About 4:1 sub/spawn. Whatever works really, depending on how large your tub is going to be. Stretching your spawn too far, however, invites contamination due the increased time it will take for the spawn to colonize the bulk sub. Are you going to go with a monotub, or do you have another FC ready, or what?

That's one brick of coir? It's enough. 12 would be better, but 8 will work if that's what you have.

thanks!

Shouldn't need to, but it's ok.

MGMC? That's used for casing, not mixing in.
And I don't have a grain tek, with or without a paint strainer. I use a metal strainer anyway, wire mesh.
