How do you guys mix your bulk substrate?
    #23900419 - 12/06/16 04:21 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Presumably if your about to mix jars of colonized wbs with verm/coir into your tub how would you do it? Would you just use your hands to mix everything up or use a sterilized spoon or something.

You could use your hands. I like to put gloves on but washed hands are fine.

I usually set aside some coir from the bucket and then dump my grains in the buckey.  Mix with my hands really well. Then dump the contents into a mono and cover with the quart of verm I set aside :thumbup:

Use your hands
No need for sterility at this point.
You lose it as soon as you open your spawn jar in open air.

Soooo. I have a few jars that have been consolidating for a little while and I noticed one or two small amber droplets on top of a couple of them...very small amount...the jars looks ultra healthy aside from these few small droplets...are they def contaminated?

Thread jacking.

As for the OP, I layer my bulk substrate and spawn, then gently mix together with my hands.  Then cover the exposed grains on top with some more bulk substrate.  Gently even out the surface with your hands.  Do not compress it.  Should be light and airy.  One of many ways to do it.  I like to wear gloves, mainly to keep my hands clean.

Although I pack my sides and corners so they are slower than the center to create even pinset.

I mix with gloved hands. At this point, if your spawn is clean, you don't really have to worry about contamination. I wear gloves to keep my nails clean.

Thanks everyone for your answers, one last thing I was wondering is how tight you pack everything. Is it supposed to be airy or tight?

This is exactly how I do it, too. Layer, mix with fingers during the layering process and at the end, and cover the top with a thin layer of substrate (which some around here seem to have taken to calling "casing" but which is not casing in any way, shape, or form.) Then even out the surface as best I can with gentle hands. I don't compress it, but after spawning I will pick up the tub and very gently tap it down onto the ground to lightly settle the material.

Got a few different places to post this.

Working on my monotub for my first ever run of clean spawn. Two small trash bags, put into the tub as if it was a trash can. Put dry coir/verm in. Add water boiling water.. Break up brick. (Fucking HOT!) now I have the lid on. I can shake the tub and mix it really easy. Nice and uniform consistency. Can't wait for this!
