how many quarts of substrate did you get. it's probably about 1:1.5 spawn:sub

Brick ~ 8qt
Verm ~ 2qt
Sub ~ 10qt

Spawn ~5qt

1:2

However, volume can change significantly if you compress the substrate.

Quarts vary from 2 cups to 3.5 depending on how they're loaded and how much they fluff up.

I wish people would give approximate grain volumes, as that is an extreme degree of error.  Weight before hydration might be even better.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...

I think FossilisedResin is asking about creating the sub, not mixing it :confused:

Eyeball 1:1 coir and verm and add water until its completely moist, mixing it up.

Grab this mixture by the handful, squeeze out excess water and put into a container for pasteurization.

I think he is asking what his spawn:sub ratio is actually since that's what he asked...

Dude...1:1 coir to verm is too much verm. More like 4:1 coir to verm.
