90QT Monotub: 11.5QTs or 15QTs of spawn?
    #18753869 - 08/25/13 02:11 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Substrate calculator says 1:1 ratio is 11.5QTs. Should I just do that and save the 3.5QTs for a mini monotub? Or just throw it all in there? It might be a few weeks till a mini monotub opens up.

OR actually, I have a smaller tub that would work well with 6QTs of spawn (1:1)--these jars have been consolidating for a WHILE...

EDIT: WBS -> Coir/Verm

I have 6 QTs of SUPER white looking spawn and then 9QTs of the spawn on the right. Now that they're right next to each other... would you even consider the one on the right 100% colonized?
How much spawn should I add?
You may choose only one

I would rather do 2 of the 66 qt tubs than one big one. Don't throw all your eggs in one basket ya know. Also no need to let wbs consolidate before spawning to bulk

Thanks. Currently, I only have one 58QT and one 90QT. I also have a SGFC that I'm planning on converting into a monotub.

Substrate calculator is stupid. I have nothing but disdain for that piece of shit.

Use six to seven quarts of spawn per tub.

If you spend too much time staring at the substrate calculator's crap, you're going to start thinking it matters to be so specific.

15 quarts of spawn in a 90 qt tub is almost 2-2.5 inches of grains by itself when broken up.

One tub, any size 60qt-110qt should have six to eight quarts of spawn.

If you use coir, add one brick of coir and two quarts of verm to that and you have yourself a tub worthy of an 8 ounces first flush :thumbup:

I never liked that calculator and never used it, But I have done a mega mono tub, I think it was 90-110 qt somewhere in there. I used 7 Jars of spawn to two bricks of bucket tek c/v and it ended up fruiting nicely.

Even though it worked, I have'nt used that big ass tub in a while just because it would suck to have that thing contam and loose everything. I prefer file box size tubs now with 2 qts spawn.

:thumbup:

Also, diamond, I would consider the jar on the right to be suspect.

Make sure to smell it before spawning.

Thanks everyone!

I think I'll use my 58QT with 6 QTs of spawn (1 brick and 2QTs of verm--hopefully that'll be enough)
& use the 9 QTs of spawn for my 90QT tub with 2 bricks and 4 Qts of verm.

Frank, contam? Noooo!! Would you consider that 100% colonized though?

Could be, could just be multispore :shrug:

Only way to tell is to smell your jars after you break them up but before you dunk them.

If it smells like anything but fresh mushrooms, don't trust it!

Do this: shake the suspect jars. Break them up, leave them be for two days. Post a pic here of what happens.

Hey Frank,

I shook all jars and they seem fine. What am I looking for? Anything black/green/slimy?

Spots that don't look like they are recovering and re-growing would be my main concern.

If it is all nice and uniform, you are good to go!

Before you dunk each jar, make sure you smell the jars for anything that doesn't smell like mushies :wink:

:goodluck:

So it's been 4 (almost 5 days) and the top of the jars seems to be colonizing slower... is this normal?
