making new tubs based off frank horrigans post
    #21699730 - 05/19/15 07:16 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I was slippidy slidin through some searches to see how u calculate substrate ratios for X size tubs and I read through one post of franks that basically said, forget all that math, just fill it up with water to your substrate line and count how many quarts. Well put sir. I did that, I have little tubs, they are 15 x 11 1/2 x 11 3/4. Seems about 9 1/2 quarts of water gets it right at my 3 1/2" substrate line.

I originally wanted to use 2 quarts of spawn per little tub - but with my results above, that means 2:7.5  spawn : cococoir/verm. I'm wondering if that seems steep, maybe I should make it 3 quarts: 6.5 quarts? That seems like alot of spawn, but you know what - My very first grow ever, I put 2 too many jars of spawn in my tub (bigger than this size) and my yield was redonkulous. Granted I also bought prepasturized manure from a shroom grow website, but yea - I always wondered if maybe that was the reason I got so much yield was cuz of those extra jars of spawn.

:bashful:

It's not as easy as saying more jars equals higher yields.  It's a balance between nutes (spawn) and water retention (bulk subs) where genetics play a variable.

most of the time 1 quart of spawn you should shoot for 1 ounce dry of mushrooms. this varies but regardless of spawn ratio if you're within the 1:1 - 1:4 that's what you should strive for.
