ratio of spawn/coir WBS * 1
    #21449771 - 03/24/15 02:35 AM (9 years, 1 month ago)

I am wondering what is the difference of putting a 1:1 ratio of spawn/coir with a 2:1 spawn/coir? Is there more fruit yield with a 2:1 ratio or is there a same yield? I know that the more the spawn, the faster the colonization and less opportunity of contamination growth. So would this be the only reason or is yield also a factor in the ratio? I plan on doing a 1:1 ratio with 1 quart of spawn and 1 quart of coir.

It's really just how fast the spawn will colonize the bulk substrate. A faster colonization of the bulk means that contaminations are less likely to happen.

2:1 ratio is very safe for bulk. If you have enough space in your tub/ tray, 2:1 ratio is very good.

anytime  you add more water food and surface area you get more mushrooms

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

So what you are implying is that if the spawn/coir ratio was 1:2, there will be a high volume of mushrooms? Like Achillita says, it is more of a risk of contamination correct? I may do it the safe way and go for a spawn/coir ratio of 2:1 for safety measures

no i wouldn't' say there is any additional risk till you go past 1:4 or more with cubes:thumbup: the diff between colonizing times from 1:2 to 1:4 is a couple days at best

Coir has a very low risk of contamination. Using 1 quart of spawn to 2 quarts of coir is very safe, some people will go to higher ratios, like 1:3 or 1:4. Higher spawn to bulk will make the colonization time faster though.

haha, that's actually lower spawn to bulk ratios.  A higher than 1:2 spawn/bulk ratio would be 1:1, ect.  You are correct in your assessment over higher spawn ratios closing vectors for contamination due to the exponential expansion of mushroom mycelium though.  Good.
