Mix with a bulk substrate and case at the same time? or do i need to wait until the bulk substrate is fully colonized too? Or do i not even need to case with bulk substrates? Just add light to get fruits?
Also are the colonized mycelium and bulk substrate (i was going to use h poo and straw mix, if there is a better mix i can use let me know) mixed together or shall i put down a layer of moist verm then my colonized mycelium then my bulk substrate then a casing. During spawning my bulk substrate am i still keeping it in the dark?
Peace.

If you're spawning your cakes or grains to a bulk substrate such as manure, there's no need to apply a casing layer.

1. Pasteurize you bulk sub mix.
2. Allow to cool, squeeze out excess moisture.
3. Mix your myc with bulk sub, use a 1:3 ratio of spawn to bulk.
4. Cover trays with tinfoil, poke a few holes, and set aside to colonize for 4-7 days.
Don't forget to put some duct tape around the sides of the container to prevent side pinning.

that's awesome thanks a load. For every one jar spawn it to 3 times the jar volume's worth of bulk?
Peace.

round there somewhere, yeah, for every quart of spawn use 1-4 quarts of substrate.
1:1 is best but up to 1:4 works very well just try not to stretch it out much past that.
more spawn to sub = more inoculation points = faster colonization = more nutes left for fruiting and less chance of contams setting in b4 your flushes are done.

You probably have 500ml jars which are a little smaller than quarts
