I remember reading somewhere when I was researching using WBS, that WBS was a good to use because the seeds were small and there were so many of them that when they were shaken and broken up there were so many points of recolonization. Anyone else know what I am speaking of? I am definitely going to do some jars with oats, and some with WBS. This may be a stupid question but does it matter let's say I have to use 6 quarts of spawn per tub, if I used 3 quarts of WBS colonized and 3 quarts of oats colonized and mixed them with the coir and verm.? Doesn't really matter as long as it's the same strain does it? I'm figuring it shouldn't just making sure though.

Definitely some truth to that. I used to do WBS only in grain bags which were very easy to break up ... Can't say about breaking them up in grain jars though ... for that and having a lot of inoculation points, RGS is hard to beat although by volume not as heavy or nutrition rich.

thats the only pain. and rinsing.
but yah i skim everything off and wash the seed thoroughly. i do that for like 30min. then soak it in a stock pot/bucket until the same time the next day. repeat the process so every day you spend 30min washing/rinsing, then another 30min draining the previous days batch and loading it up. stagger those times every 4 hours for a weekend. find times.

for me, yes. a solid yes. 40cents a lb for 80%millet wbs is hard to beat. and i get it at the foodmart.
however if i still lived with my folks and could walk to the closet TSC then id be using rye or oats.
skimming and its smell is the only real wbs drawback... and you dont even need to skim. its just a preference.
