Good work. I generally don't like working with tubs past the 18 gallon mark. They're just too large and wielding.I also worry about them not colonizing properly. I'm pretty cheap on the spawn though.

i only used 8 quarts of colonized rye for this whole tub, and the substrate cost me approx ... 7, 8 bucks? if that?

Rye is fucking expensive where I live. I pay something like 3 dollars for something under a pound. It's bull shit. I use 3 quarts for every brick of coco-coir. It's works fine every time.

Nope I live in a major city the closest ones are 60-100 miles away or more. I have to buy the little packs of rye berry (which are a pain in the ass to find).

Jealous. Seriously my largest costs are rye berries. I think last time I bought them I bought enough for 9-12 tubs it was 70-80 bucks. I could only find them in one store in a 20 mile radius...Bull shit I say. I generally like working with rye berries so I pay out of the ass. It's a small cost to pay when you consider the rewards of growing in terms of volume you get out of the berries.

maenards has wbs for half that. 40 pound bags for 11 or 12 bucks. Which is still slightly cheaper than 50 pounds of rye for 16.5. After accounting for the chaff in the wbs, I'd say it works out to the same. Somewhere in the vicinity of 28-33 cents a pound.
I've become a big fan of maenards cheap wbs.

I'm not a fan of wbs. 40 lbs is a lot more then I get/need. WBS is just too dirty to work with. I also like the small rye berries since they have a large surface area for MYC to grow on. 3 quarts of that stuff is pretty potent.
I will say I do pay a premium for Rye Berries where I live but at least I don't have to spend a crap load of time cleaning them. These are food grade rye berries so they are pretty much clean when you get them. They're also organic and allegedly chemical free (which I don't believe). There isn't a really good way to commercially grow anything without pesticides in the outdoors.

I can't help but wonder if a couple more holes would help, just due to the sheer size of the tub?
