Actual Qt. of spawn
    #11004659 - 09/05/09 02:41 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

When you determine your spawn ratio, do you consider 1qt of spawn one jar or two? The reason I ask is because after PC'ing, my jars are only half full. Therefore, 1qt of spawn is actually 2 jars.

I recently started a minitub and thought I would do a 1:2 ratio (2 jars of spwn to 4qts of sub in this case). Afterwards I thought about it and realized that those 2 jars only equal 1 full Qt of spawn. So actually, my ratio turned out to be 1:4.


I was just curious if anyone else factors this in when spawning too bulk.

My jars are closer to full.  People say to make them half full for shaking, but I dont see the point.  They are still easy to shake when 40% colonized.  As for shaking before spawning to bulk, I just dump the jars into the mono, and crumble with my hands.  BTW I use wide mouth pint jars, so it may be easier to get out without shaking.

Fill the jars 2/3 full before PC.  After the PC, it will settle/compact to be about 1/2 full, but once you shake they will be back to 2/3.  Consider that a quart since it's the amount that fits into a quart jar.
