Oh and muda, if I may ask where do you buy your grain and what do you use? I've been buying wheat at bulk barn for like a buck a pound. I know that's kinda pricey but I like the quality.

I bucket pasteurise almost everything. Well I've got one tray of PE that I did at a 2:1 ratio spawn to coffee that I didn't pasteurise. I just ran the coffee threw my coffee maker three times, let cool and spawned. PH is something I really only pay attention to when using peat moss for a casing layer. I Have used many different grains but now I use whole oats from the feed section at TSC. I get 25kg for less than $20 that works out to about 30 cents a pound and one pound will make two quart jars.

Ok that's all very good to know, sorry I edited that post asking all the question because I realized how badly I jacked OP's thread. Figured I tarnished it enough, sorry dialated, if it makes you feel better I got a lot of questions I've been wondering about answered haha.
I'm trying really hard to think what TSC is but coming up empty. That's really interesting you use oats. Thanks for answering everything so professionally.

Thanks, and yes you're spot on my friend

MudaFuka said: Looking good. I use 6 quarts for 66qt tubs so yah that spawn rate isn't that high. I let my tubs consolidate until they start to knot which generally happens within 2 or 3 days of 100% colonisation.
I have used 6 to very good avail but 5 seems to work just right for me I may try to let things knot up a bit more soon. But if it's not broke why fix it.. ya know?
Quote:
6 qts spawn, how much sub? It doesn't mater the size of the tub lol, that has nothing to do with ratios.
5 qts is a higher ratio than 4 pints, thus making 5 qts a high spawn ration, relatively.
It's funny how nobody was able to answer my previous question, it's just hey lets do what everyone else does without even knowing why.
Ok I thought I had answered your question sufficiently, you insinuated that I had used too high of a ratio though braj...That isn't the case (5 fully colonized QTs of spawn, 2 QTs of verm and a brick of coir) My point was that I used less then what most people use. And 4 pints of spawn? What the hell are you spawning too brother man lol

MudaFuka said: When a mono is made correctly the sub depth should be consistently around 3.5 inches so when you use more spawn you will be using less sub and the ratio go's up. I use about 11 or 12 quarts of sub to 6 quarts of spawn for about a 1:2 ratio when making tubs. When making trays I go 1:1. The reason I use a high ratio is I like the fast colonisation and lots of nuts for later flushes. It only costs me around 16 cents to make a quart of spawn so I really don't care how far I can stretch it.
I used 6 QT's of spawn and got 8 flushes so I can see why you would use that many. But my grows have been MS so far so my results are really a crap shoot so far. But seriously I been very happy SUPPORT YOUR SPONSORS!

TSC = tractor supply company. But any place that sells feed for live stock is a good bet for finding cheep grains.
@ Dilated From what I've seen your shit looks great you should be happy.

Nice, I used Sporeworks too. Ahh tractor supply co, ok. I spawn to coir verm gypsum, but I add worm casings and liquid seaweed.
Have a good night with your lady friend, mang.

I got some PE ready for an MS 'noc up in a couple days (WBS is soaking atm). What ratio do you use when you do PE in your tubs? Is it generally different then other cube varieties?

Here's my first B+ pinset and I must say.. wow.. looking so much more dense then the other cubes I've used with monotubs so far. I'm really excited for this one. If anyone would like to take a wager on dry weight for the first flush, I'll gladly send a print. Must be closest without going over (must have at least 5 ratings of 5 cubes or better on your profile or 200 posts).
