From a mono, that'd be wild, and I'd call bs. In trays, that's actually feasible.

It was a 3qt foil pan with a shotgun lid, cvg-wbs.  Things been around 2 months now, has another small flush coming. I don't think it's particularly amazing given that pasty can apparently get the same efficiency in one flush that I got in 8, assuming my shit even dried to 10%, though it didn't seem waterlogged.

Aren't you the same dude who said you picked a handful of contaminated grain from a jar, and that it was clean afterwards? And that's what got you 1000+ wet grams from? LOL

Holy hell I need to find that thread. That was hilarious

:lolwut: you have to find it now buck :rofl:

I think the most I've gotten from 1 flush in 1 qt of spawn, spread out into 4 trays is at least 8 ounces dry.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21805715 this and my signature are trays spawned with half pints (1/4 of a quart), so 4 trays is 1 qt. Though I've since gone up to a pint per tray.

Since this guy follows me around calling bullshit every time I mention this tray:
Multispore redboy, did remove about a 1/4 cup patch of unconolized grain that was most likely bacterial, this patch had sat outdoors in direct sunlight for an entire afternoon.

28o wet + whatever comes out of this next flush.


Now, 1f, 3f.  Probably had about 4 significant flushes, but many small random mushrooms popping up that I've recorded.  Dunked around 4 times.

I guess so. I thought it was standard to get 56 dry grams out of 2qt spawn, 3qt verm and 3 qt coir, which comes out to be a 2/3 ratio. Should I be doing 1:4 then? I thought that the deeper the sub, the bigger the fruits as well as quantity.

If you see in these pics, the fruits aren't tiny nor scarce. I'd like to see what crazy subs you've got goin' on if you're pullin' 6 oz. from the same size sub.

Thank you. That's exactly my yield for the first flush. 2 oz/2 qts of spawn in my small-ish sub. I think man in black was misunderstanding as he mentioned "them terrible yields" when they're producing precisely what they should if they're healthy.

I do agar as well. It's just a hassle sometimes, so I stick with G2G as my results are 90% great, so I can't complain. I made my master from agar.

Also, I think my tubs are 27qt, so it makes sense that I would only get 2 dry oz. from 2 qts of spawn.

People probably thought that was a bad yield due to the size of the subs.  You probably don't need to use more than 4 quarts of bulk, especially if you're only taking ff which it kinda sounds like you are.

Only 4 qts of sub? I would think there wouldn't be enough depth to get a decent sizes flushes/fruits. I've read many times that 3-4" at least is ideal because there is more surface area.

I typically get 2 - 2.5 oz dry from a 6 qt sub + 2 qt spawn.

Does anyone know which salt to use to help slow contaminants?
Iodized or non-iodized?

Anyone know which way to salt the subs so that there isn't a big pool of water that gets pulled up through the sub and sits stagnantly on top?

As always, thank you guys for your replies. If it wasn't for your help, I would still be a dumbass injecting 2 cc's in each jar when inoculating. This was my problem for over 6 months. It changed my water content of my jars, which in turn, contaminated the hell out of my bulk.

Pasty seems to think thinner subs get better BE, and that opinion seems to be shared by others.  I have heard thick subs lead to bigger fruits, but not had that experience myself.  My biggest fruit actually came off a half-cup PF cake.  Anyway, they're just more work to dry and dose.

As I said above, my best yield came off a lasagnia pan under 2in thick, spawned at like 1:1.5 or something.  Pasty gets his retarded 6o from 2qt in one flush using 1:2.  I think it's safe to say you aren't getting much benefit form your high ratio.

Genetics is the reason party can get 6oz from 2qt spawn. Its all about a good clone/culture. I easily get 1oz per qt with just limited genetics

Yes, but his genetics show that there is enough water in 1:2 bulk.

What? Tons of people use a 1:2 ratio.
I don't know what you're saying
