endless multiplication of bulk substrate?
    #23914647 - 12/10/16 09:50 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

When spawn is multiplied into bulk substrate, then some of the fully colonized bulk substrate can be multiplied into more bulk substrate, on and on indefinitely, right?

It's not the reapplication of spawn that's the problem it's the depleting nutrients. If you think packing more substrate into the tub what's the point? Just make more tubs and don't risk contaminating your grow.

Oh, so all (or almost all) of the nutrients come from the original grain that the spawn was in, and not in the bulk substrate then?

The nutrients and water from the grain is what keeps the colonial spawn alive.

The nutrients in the substrate is what helps the spawn grow and produce mushrooms.

If you want larger, more consistent fruit beds in your tubs look into agar, I'm working on my first set of plates right now.

It's a very bad idea for multiple reasons. Even if what you suggest could be done, you'd bring the culture to senescence and it would no longer perform as it should.

BTW, someone asked the same question 2 days ago, take a look:
