MorePies dropped by and brought me an insulated 55gal drum and electric heating element! Needs a little work but I can't express how much help this is to me right now! Thanks mate!

I wish I had a friend on here, that lived close by that I could share stuff with and hang out with. Super jelly.
So, now that you've done a bunch of tests, would you say that supplemented pine performs better then unsupplemented?
Also, would you mind taking some pics of the pellets and bran you use? I'm more of a visual person, if you don't mind please!
These are beauties, I'm hoping my golds perform as well.
Also, did you pasteurize? Or sterilize? Are you familiar with the bucket tek, used for hydrating coir for cubes? Think that would work for hydrating the wood before spawning?

Supplementation has consistently tripled my yeild for oysters both on pine and hardwood. I use wheat bran to supplement (2cups per 5lbs bag). When you supplement you must sterilize. If you are just doing straight Pellets, follow Lipa's Pasteurized Fuel Pellet Tek - this is also the recipe I use for supplementation but I add about 3/4 cup of water to offset the bran and I do cold water so I can mix the bran up by hand.
And honestly, throw out the cube Cultivation book while doing edibles- they are very different beasts.

Alrighty. I'm going to have to do more reading it seems lol Would you find wheat bran in a grocery store? And could I sterilize it in jars? Then spawn it in open air to a bucket? Thanks for the help!

Look for wheat bran in the bulk section and if you really get going, a feed store. If you are spawning in open air just stick to pasteurization and no supplements or else you will invite a lot of contams. You can spawn heavier, 5 to 10% wet spawn to wet sub to get better yields.
Since you're just ge trying started, keep it simple and don't go off trying experimemtal techniques.

Sounds good to me! I'll use a higher spawn to sub ratio to make up for not supplementing. I'll need a FH, and/or spawn bags to start with supplementing I guess hey.
Guess it's unsupplemented pellets for the first go around. I think I'm going to look for some hardwood ones tho, since I also plan on fruiting some bioluminescent mushies soon as well.
So much work to do tomorrow! Stoked.

I get wheat bran for $8 for 50lbs from my local feed store- pretty sure all of them will have it. And no if you sterilize in jars then open air spawn you'll get contams. If you're set on using buckets but want to supplement you may be able to mix the bran in with the grain, sterilize, colonize, then spawn- though that may be really hard to break up and wouldn't be evenly distributed. You could make one big bag of sub for the bucket and PC it if you have a large enough one and then sterile spawn into it.

Yeah I'm going to need some bags it seems. And probably a FH before I go messing with supplements. I'll just add more spawn until I get the hang of things.
Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it more then you know.

Yeah I highly recommend it. Triple the yeild with a simple 2 cups? I don't want to spawn anything into unsupplemented subs now
