Using Solely Millet as a Spawn for a Monotub?
    #18817953 - 09/09/13 06:43 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

So I have been increasingly interested in a monotub grow, and was extraordinarily inspired when coming across a $25 dollar PC at a flea market on sunday (i think its the only manual PC in my whole country). i have only been able to find millet (as parakeet food), and was curious how this grain fares when used on its own? a quick search showed ppl have used it before just on its own, as well as in combination with BRF and other possible substrates.

i was looking for a few more details tho. can anyone whose used solely millet share their experience? should it be prepped just as any other birdseed? how does it compare to rye or milo? if cleanliness and proper precautions are followed, could i expect it to work successfully in a basic coco coir/verm monotub?

thx

Millet is the best grain you can use for spawning to bulk. By far. It's not very good on it's own, but mixed with coir or manure it outperforms all others.

i have not thought about ordering other spawns online, tho thats a good idea. however a lot of things have a decent sized shipping+import fee attached to them over here.

happy to hear millet is well suited for bulk spawn! should i just follow the samr steps as i would for a wbs prep?
