spawn ratio question? no problem just a question. thanx.
    #10629624 - 07/06/09 11:32 AM (15 years, 6 months ago)

I understand the more spawn used the faster it colonizes and thus reducing the chances of contams so I guess my question is... does it help with yields or does it do anything? 

Ive been spawning 3 quarts of rye to 1 brick coir, 1 qrt verm, 1 qrt coffee, 1/2 pint gypsum, 1 gal H2O.

if I spawned 6 quarts of rye to the same amount of sub how would it benefit?  because I get 3-6 OZs as it is now from 1 monos total yield.

besides colonizing faster to keep contams at bay what other reason is there to have such a low spawn ratio?  cuz to me it seem a waist of spawn if you get the same yield.

all advice and responses welcome.:thanx:

Sure, if your contam rates are acceptable, then there's no real reason to use more spawn. It probably does add some nutrition, but the main purpose is just colonization speed.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

cool, I was hoping thats all it was.

I usualy dont get contams untill after 2nd or 3rd flush anyway and you get 90% of your total weight in the first 2 flushes.  so I'll just keep doing what Im doin then.

:thanx:
