RECYCLING PASTEURIZED SUBSTRATE MATERIALS.
    #14544227 - 06/01/11 03:17 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

We've all found ourselves in the position of hydrating then pasteurizing too much substrate materials for the amount of spawn we had colonized.
Taken the time to mix, hydrate, and pasteurize the materials, only to be left with extra substrate materials after all your spawn's used up.
Re-hydrating then re-pasteurizing substrate materials is the best way I'v found to preserve substrate materials once they've been pasteurized and are not needed.

Say your using a 1:2 spawn to bulk ratio.
Only needed 20 quarts of sub. for 10 quarts of spawn and had a few quarts of sub left over after spawning.
Don't just pack those materials back into a tote or bucket and cap the container.
Lay them out in the yard, somewhere in the sun that gets plenty of airflow.


(Left over horse manure and once pasteurized coir, mixed together, airing out in the sun on 2, 64 quart, clear plastic storage tote lids).

Anaerobic bacteria grow in places where there's little to no oxygen.
All that materials piled into an area, coupled with the mositure content and still-air environment will create a large center to become anaerobic.

Read that substrate materials (once pasteurized) will store safely enclosed in plastic for a few weeks with out contamination.
I say, why risk the extra vector for contamination by creating anaerobic environments when it can be avoided?..
A few minutes of prevention will be worth a month or so worth of work, time, money, and materials from being wasted.

I usually just adjust my levels so I use up everything, you'd be surprised how far your spawn will stretch.

I can concur on how far spawn will stretch.
Gone this route before.
It's a great idea and method if your just fruiting a few trays or monotubs at once.

Depending on the amount of numbers you're having to adjust spawn ratios for at a time.
Having to adjust for spawn ratios, could be very time consuming. 
Gotta' to stop production, configure the ratios, gather the materials, ect..

A 1:2 spawn ratio is the planned and projected of the amount of spawn used to inoculate substrates with.
Don't have the time at the numbers being adjusted for, to sit around and reconfigure spawn ratios, adjusting accordingly.
(Life to live outside of the subject matter at hand).
Found it's much more convient and safer to dehydrate the materials, throwing them into the next round of bulk sub. materials that needs to be hydrated and pasteurized.

If it works for you then it isn't broke so don't fix it.
This is merely a suggestion of a virtually contamination free method of recycling bulk sub materials.
For those of us who are on the go.

Did that gift come with instructions?  Batteries not included, huh.  I changed the title of this thread.
