William Falconers Transfer Method

Was glancing through William Falconers old book "Lets Grow Mushrooms" and read there method with spawn brick transfers.
They would put there spawn into substrate, and Once there subtrate was fully colonized, he would cut up the colonized substrate and knock up even more substrate, like a g2g transfer, but he was doing it on a mass scale.
The trick was to do it with a fully colonized substrate, but before the spawn fruited.
Dont see why this cant work on monotubs. Imagine doing a monotub, cutting it up the spawn once its fully colonized the substrate, but before it fruits, and transfering the spawn to 10 monotubs,.
Than Imagine fruiting 9 of them, and taking 1 of them and doing 10 more monotub transfers. Wow.
If I had some spare spawn jars, id definitely try it out.

Your nutes would ware too thin, and quickly.
I'm guessing contams would ensue.
You want at least bare minimum 1/20 of spawn to bulk the preferred is around 1/4 spawn to bulk ratio.

Isn't that the same thing as super spawning? Pretty sure people don't do that anymore for a reason.

I consider myself a reader and Falconer isn't one of my favorite writer's on the subject. There are so many better ways to do things, so many better books. I appreciate his contribution though

Stamets refers to this in his books. Its called "Super Spawning".
For some species I imagine it would work well. Probably Agaricus, Oysters, maybe Shiitake. But theres a reason that we dont do this with Cubensis.
The bulk of your nutrition and energy is going to be provided by your grain. The more you spread that out, the more you will see the effect on your grow. Its the equivilent of using a low spawn ratio.

Yea, you don't need more substrate, you need more spawn. That's why we G2G. You want to multiply just your nutrient source.
