Does anyone calculate yield ratio.
    #24020583 - 01/18/17 04:31 PM (7 years, 12 days ago)

Every one,

So I've returned to this hobby after a 12 year hiatus and needless to say techniques have changed. 12 years ago I was prettty much a dabbler growing with BRF cakes. Now im really getting into this and am in the final run of my 1st bulk grow. I am curious if the more experienced growers out there measure their yields against the materials used and what that looks like. Here are the particulars:

4 lbs pasteurized rye grain (wet)
Colonized to 10 lbs horse dung compost (wet)
Strain: GT
Placed into 4 containers - 3 "old school" casings in a fruiting chamber and 1 mini mono tub

So far after 3 flushes on the casings and 1 on the mono, I yielded 1.1 KG of fruit (wet). With another nice flush coming in the mono. Thinking I'll probably hit 1.5 KG wet.

So what is a good yield / ratio? I can't be the first person who pondered this. Any input appreciated!

You measure the dry grain weight.
You measure the yield weight at harvest(wet weight). 

It's referred to as biological efficiency(BE), and if you start with 1kg dry grain and yield 1 kg wet mushrooms you have a BE of 100%

so the math is BE=[(wet yield)/(dry grain)]x100%

Typically 100% BE first flush is considered pretty good
200% BE first flush and you are a legend
