monotub thus far
    #12591524 - 05/19/10 11:24 AM (14 years, 7 months ago)

This monotub was made from 3 quarts WBS half a brink coir and some vermiculite 50/50. It took 27 days to colonize, but it's not 100%, but I don't think it's going to get 100%. More like 95%. Some spots are still coir looking but have like a thin glaze of mycelium if that makes sense. This is the first one I've seen done. Will post pics later if possible.
Probably had about 20% spawn to 80% coir/verm, I was thinking that is why it took so long to colonize?
If there are 3 more quarts of WBS made over a month ago just sitting are they still good to try another monotub?
And what is a good spawn ratio for these tubs?

1:4 spawn to sub is generally the least you want to go with. More will obviously increase colonization speed. If you already had more spawn why didn't you just use it all?

(Edit: strike that question, misread you)

From what I have read and been told (setting up a mono shortly myself) anything from 1:1 to 1:4 spawn to bulk is good...anything more and you're looking at really long colonization times and a greater risk of contamination.

As far as your three extra jars made over a month ago...how do they look,were they inoculated or just sterelized in your PC,do they have a funky look to them?

I think you'd just be better off making some new jars rather then taking a chance with the old jars.
