I tried using the search function and didn't seem to find the info(sorry if I didn't look hard enough!) Is it common practice to ph your water before hydrating a casing or bulk sub?

do you mean you want to use that jar to prepare liquid inoculant? if so then yes. you can use that jar. i prefer half pint regular mouths for liquid inoculant. similar to this. you don't need much for each receiving quart jar. maybe only a quick pour. 5cc's or so.

I have 1l of popcorn with pan cyans agar colonising at the moment. Is 1l too small of an amount to go to bulk substrate for a monotub?
Is larger amounts of spawn used to speed up the process?

No, sorry, Im new to this and the vocabulary is still new to me. I think that what I meant is the substrate, or the cakes? Thank you for replying though!

when you flip the cake to birth it, it won't come out of that jar. its better to have a jar like the wide mouth or regular mouth half pints. you don't want the jar to jog inwards at the top like that.
if you were using it for grain spawn id say its fine. for pf cakes not so much.

Yeah, I've read that. Sadly the only mason jars I currently have on hand is a 12 set of shouldered! lol. I have looked it up a little and people talk about using a sterilized spoon or something else to crumble it up and just use the crumbled up stuff. Would that work?

What are some purchaseable alternatives to field aged horse manure? Like manure mixes in a bag at a nursery or hardware store or something? Haven’t had time for sourcing some hpoo and have several qt’s of panaeolus needing to be spawned
