I haven't tried the lime method yet but when I was growing oysters I could get 75 % dry weight using hot water pastrization . like aleon  said 50 to 100 depends on lots of factors.  I'm thinking if those buckles r packed good 3 pounds atleast per bucket . Atleast 2 flushes.. And dunking between flushes will improve yield.  Looks good

Dunking buckets is difficult even for a few, and with that kind of volume it's pretty unrealistic.  I've gotten 2nd and 3rd flushes just leaving them outside, no dunk or anything.  Spray with water, that's about the best you can do.

I agree it isn't easy but it will improve yield.  There is no problem getting mutiple flushes without dunking.. It's the yield that won't be the same.. I have often thought of trying to colonize a bag or bucket with like a 2 in pipe in the middle of substrate.. After its fully colonized pull out the pipe and fill void with water so the mycelium can obsorb.

Yeah I definitely do try to dunk when possible, it certainly helps.  That's funny I've had that same idea about the pipe!  Haven't tried it though.  I think it might work well in a 5 gallon bucket.

I dunno if I believe that dunking increases yield.  In a straw log with 50+lbs of water I don't think h2o is a limiting factor.  Maybe with buckets it is.  Anyone got data to back up these antecdotes?  I do notice that clusters of comparable size off sawdust blocks and straw logs, the ones off sawdust are lighter and drier.

That's a good ? Just for shit s and giggles u might lay another 4 ft floro between the back row of buckets and look for yield difference.. It couldn't hurt and it should let u know weather more light is beneficial.

Are the buckets already colonized? When I look at the pics I can't tell if its hay or pins coming out

Dr. snakebite,

Your bucket bails (handles) concern me.  My first buckets had handles and they interfered with the oyster clusters when they came.  The handles come off quite easily.

Man !  lots of buckets !

best wishes to you.

Good point about the handles.  They become somewhat useless after fruits grow since you can't raise them without knocking clusters off anyway.

Yep, a pocket knife and 20 minutes will take care of those pesky handles for sure! 
They don't weigh enough to really need the handles anyhow.

I personally kind of like the handles, makes carrying the buckets to dump them much easier. just don't put a hole right by the handle on one side. I can carry 3 per hand if they still have handles. But I can see how if you weren't carrying them far it wouldn't matter.

This is a really interesting thread, this is a huge project to do for the first time out. It looks like a lot of preparation was put into it though so I'm sure he'll do well.

Can't wait to see the flush on these guys. It seems with buckets you won't need to order any industrial plastic sleeves, I guess you could save money doing it that way. Cool project!

I carry 4, 2 in one hand. I will think of something not to take off the handles.

Good point! Thanks uncle_rico

depends...I value my labor at $20/hr so it's 'greener' to not buy plastic every month and a half, but it's a major time saver over buckets.

Very true, time is valuable. I'd rather be picking mushrooms than cleaning buckets. Amazing pics on you Facebook btw, I'd love to see your setup irl. Those logs are huge!
