how much to dose with fresh harvest????
    #14561242 - 06/04/11 06:26 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

I read damions elementary coir tek and it calls for 5qts of spawn to a brick of coir and I forget how much verm he said, but I have about 3 to 3- 1/2 quarts of spawn. how much coir and verm would I use for my spawn? Thanks in advance

Depends how big your container is...  and how deep you want your substrate..
I usually do 1:2, 1:3... 

I also followed Damion's tek, and just used what I needed...

good luck!

His tek needs 2 quarts of verm, total of 10 quarts of substrate with optionally 1 quart of gypsum.

3 and 1/2qts of spawn to 7qts of substrate. There ya go.

You can keep the leftovers in a flower pot outside.

1 quart of gypsum is way too much for 1 gallon of water.

I use 1/4 cup of gypsum & still have a bit of gypsum sediment @ the bottom of the bucket.

2 quarts course verm. 2-1/2 quart medium verm. 3 quart of fine verm.

1 standard 600-650g brick of coir is 9 quarts.

That's 67-72g per quart.

As for water content, I'd use 3/4 of a gallon.

but honestly, I'd just G2G those jars & have at least 18 jars for two monos per the tek.

Have to call it a quits for now had to move back in with the parents (i know it blows) so this is my last run for now, so I just need what I can work with just 3 and a half quarts of spawn. Small mono or dub tub setup.

well, you'll be alright w/ all the math I provided for ya :awethumb:

I'd probably do 6 quarts of the coir + 2/3 of the verm (whichever you have) & 2/3 of the water...

that way you'll have a decently high spawn ratio & the right depth.

Try a mini if you can find the tub, if not dub it'll be.

I'd recommend using 1" holes for the mini, also.

Either that, or make sure to use a little tighter polyfil in the tub.

You just gotta mess w/ it a bit to get her dialed in but once you do...Zang...

I used the same size for my GH trays...lids didn't work properly & I always got early pins...not pins before 100% but before consolidation.

I recommend drill 1 3/4" hole in the center & covering it w/ an SFD or equal & wrapping the sides w/ saran wrap to avoid excess AE.

Lil confused. Am I drilling one hole on the wide side or 2 on opposite ends of the wide side. And what is sfd btw?

sfd = synthetic filter disk

1 qty.  - 3/4" diameter hole in the center of the lid

beads of water where?

In the colonizing tub?

That's fine. Here's how my tubs look during colonization:
<--Initially after Spawning

<---Several days into colonization.

That's all condensation on the interior of the tub. Just let it be.

Once you introduce to Fruiting Conditions, you can dab off the surface of the substrate w/ a paper towel where the water has pooled.

Your substrate should look like this during introduction to Fruiting Conditions:



Notice the large amount of droplets of water. You provide ample FAE w/ loose poly & a fan in the room or by fanning 2-4 times a day.

That will cause the moisture to evaporate, causing massive pinning. If you notice the RH/substrate a bit dry, mist 1-2 times per day, depending on fanning & look.

It looks like you only have 1 hole in the top tub. I'd recommend setting up the dub tubs like a pseudo small mono.

1 high hole on each end of the tub

1 hole in the center (a little off centered from one another) of each side


It actually looks like your RH is low from that picture. Isn't that immediately after introducing Fruiting Conditions?

I get a lot of condensation on the sides of my tubs during colonization & Fruiting (a lot less during Fruiting).

Yes I snapped that picture after sealing it off. I did what you told me to do by drilling. One three quater inch hole in the center. Ill make the adjustments tomorrow.

I'd recommend taking out the poly for tonight then.

As long as you're doing it in the morning, you'll be fine.

You're going to have to adjust your poly for the tubs, but a bit of fine tuning & you'll get it :super:

I'm not an expert on the old dub tub method, but you may get too much FAE w/ two holes on the sides.

I'd start w/ one & adjust the poly accordingly.

If you can't dial it in FAE wise from there, I'd add the other two holes, but I think w/ that small of a substrate 1 per side is enough.

this is how she is looking after making the adjustments. on the long side i made the holes lower than the original hole i made , so basically 1 hole high on opposite ends and 1 hole low opposite end. looks good to me i guess there is fae notice the dry spot by the hole.

w/ that much condensation you may want to check your FAE.

You fanning twice a day or so? It's all a balancing act between FAE & RH.

i made the adjustments around noon or so i guess im due for a fanning, think i can get away with unplugging the poly fill and and hitting the tub with a fan for like a minute or two? i dont want to go through the hassel of taping and un tapping. but if i do then so be it. going to have to purchase more masking tape lol

Just take out all the poly & fan the exterior of the tub for a minute or two really good. That'll cause plenty of FAE.

At first i'd loosen the poly a lot & take out the poly to fan.

See how that works w/out a fan in the room. but a small fan across the room not directly facing the tub won't hurt anything.

nice mushi dude. :kenthumbup:

for wet vs. dry multiply your dry weight times 9. So if you normally do 3g dry do 27-30g wet.

how much to dose with fresh harvest?

uhh, first time tripping? ~20 fresh grams

want to get to know the fruits of your labor? ~50


making a tea with a lemon juice or citric acid is the best way in my opinion.

Not my first time tripping. I usually dose 2 grams dry and have a nice time. But I'm tripping with my gf. Its her 1st time. So we just ate 18 grams 2 dry grams x 9= 18 wet grams

Fully dunk bulk substrate for 4 hours maximum.

Or you can heavily mist the substrate & you'll pull a few more oz. outta it.

I have a "One Flush Wonder" tek in my signature w/ lazy "dunk" methods that work well enough.

18g between two people?  You're lucky you're feeling anything at all.  If dry that would be less than a gram per person.  I'd triple that amount.


--------------------
You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.

No we started with 18 then ate 2 more so we had 20 a piece. I felt really drunk that's all really and it just had me wired couldn't go to sleep. I came to the conclusion that I rather eat them dry then fresh. Never had a stomach ache until I had them fresh. I remember eating two grams of eq's dry and that was a great trip. I felt really good. I fed off peoples energy. If you were sad you made me sad .you made me sad if you were happy I was happy. I peaked then I dropped peaked again then dropped. I would stare at the walls and it was breathing. Lights were making an aura. Tv was freaky.I saw melting faces and stuff. I'll give it another when they nice and dry.
