What are the yields of grain vs pf cakes (cubes)
    #23539991 - 08/14/16 07:33 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

So when i say grain, i mean what you can do with it, i.e spawning to bulk and such.

I understand how grain with bulk sub works, in that most of the output comes from the grains themselves, its not just an innoculant, grain and bulk sub is like rice flour and verm.
Its roughly like that, less so if you use manure i imagine.

Anyway, im wondering what will be the difference using the same jars i used for cakes, moving onto grains, like, a batch of any amount of jars, per batch, what might be the difference in yeild attainable under either ideal or probable circumstances, comparing for example 5 grain jars worth of grain against pf cakes made in the same jars.

At this point i have enough mushrooms for myself from cakes for a while, but i could do a grain batch without buying anything new and while i have enough, its far from too much just yet.

In all probability the substrate ill be using will be coir based, definitely no verm or manure, and, i have allot of straw and sawdust at my disposal. as for quantity, id like to use these aluminium food trays i can get cheap at the $2 shop but this will depend on how much the volume impacts the efficiency if at all.

This question mostly stems from a reluctance to abandon the many jars i have for making cakes, as well as a comment or two ive seen stating that some way or another of doing bulk isnt any better than the same amount of effort to make some PF cakes.
If i tried bulk grows i would probably understand what to expect from what but i havent so i dont know.
