Four lbs spawn to five lbs bulk?
    #20275750 - 07/15/14 08:12 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Well, those hyper injected grain bags are all at 100%. To get a really big mono, I spawned four to five pounds hpoo/coir/gypsum. Is this a terrible idea? Starting one of my older monos fruiting today asvwell.

Lbs is a difficult measure cause the amount that's actually in the bag can vary greatly depending on moisture content. If you could convert it to qts for us you'd get a quicker answer.

What he said, how much volume?
And how deep is your substrate?

Volume FTW.

It should work anyway though. Maybe case it.

56 quarts. About six inches deep, which is more than my other tubs. I do have some casing mix.

Here's the tub after a day of colonizing:

thats pretty deep, you risk it going anaerobic in the center i would personnely open up at least one of those top holes once it colonizes

Gotchya. But I shouldn't like scoop this stuff out of this tub or anything? It'll work, just not be ideal? I guess I'll find out.

Don't scoop it out, but it may or may not work out. As was said, the center can go anaerobic. Hopefully your sub gets colonized before that.

Google it. You'd have had your answer by now if you did.
