Mono tub and pop corn
    #11207083 - 10/08/09 11:12 AM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Hey everybody , i have experimented several time with the PF tek and its variations . I want now to advance into grains , i chose pop corn for my own reasons ( know people say its not the best)

I have noticed that most calculations are between quarts and other ways of measurement that i am not sure about .

I have Jars with capacity 730 ml (little less than quart if im not mistaken).

I have found plastic transparent containers with sizes :
1. 60x40x28h
2. 60x40x39h


Witch one is a better choice??

i want to follow this tek : http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/8324968 ; (casing applied as well)

I have everything i need and im ready to start soaking the pop corn. 

In order to start soaking , i have to calculate how much pop corn i am going to use .

How many jars (730 ml) of NOT SOAKED pop corn shall i use for the container of choice ??

Please help me on those 2 questions

Thanks all.

1) you want the finished jars about 2/3 full, so  approx. 500 mL of cooked grain per jar
2) rye and wbs double in size when cooked. Popcorn does not get that big. You will need to cook some and see what you get, but probably start with 350 mL per jar.
2a) It might be easier to do if you work in grams instead of mL; weight vs volume.

Also, a quart is about equal to a liter. A pint = 500 mL. A cup or half pint = 250. "approximately"

so how many jar (730 ml) ? like 4 for each tube or 5 ? or im in the wrong direction ? Is it that important if its not calculated on the dot? because this is going to affect the depth of the substrate.

How much substrate are you making?

More spawn = faster colonization. But get the depth of the substrate right no matter how much spawn you use.

You can calculate it for yourself- get the tub, measure the depth you want; 4 inches = 10 cm. Then put in water (or something) 1 liter at a time, and count the number of liters of spawn you will want.

Count your jars as 3/4 liter, for the ratio.
For example, 4 jars of spawn to 6 liters of substrate = 3:6 or 1:2. 4 jars to 12 liters = 1:4.

So it depends on the size tub you want to use, and how rich you want to spawn it. Clear now?

It will make much more sense after you do it, I promise.
