alright im about to start 5 small monotubs
i have 7 1/4 PF tek jars colonizing right now...
im going to blend those up and mix evenly throughout the 5 monotubs..
the substrate im using is a mixture of earthworm casting and pasteurized straw....
after the straw mix becomes fully colonized im going to case with a layer of verm
my question is whats the ratios for all these like how thick should the verm be and how much earthworm castings to straw should i mix 50/50?? (inches deep)
ive had a successful straight straw monotub cased with verm but i heard you can get a better yeild adding earthworm castings to the straw
also no i do not want to use any different products if possible becasue where i live its just really hard to find mushrooms products except these

I don't think 7 PF tek jars is nearly enough spawn for 5 monotubs.

Not unless the mono tubs are the size of red party cups, no =)
Secondly, fruit the BRF cakes as they are meant to be fruited, as cakes! At most, you should case them.
If you want to do a bulk grow, use grain.

Really?? hmm i colonized 5-6inches of straw in a 30 gallon sterilite monotub with 2 one pint jars.....
and i got a MUCH bigger yeild than if i was to just case the cakes and put in FC
these are the tubs im wanting to do right now and they are not very big at all
