Birthing and casing bulk substrate?
    #25149185 - 04/18/18 07:36 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

Just had a quick question, hope its not posted elsewhere. (cant seem to find it) I have some colonized bulk that is almost complete in a few tupperware containers. To birth the the colonized bulk, do I just fill the container with water to re hydrate like I would a cake? Then do I take the bulk out and case it or just leave it in the container and case the top? The bulk is 50% horse manure, 50% coconut coir and a bit of coffee btw.
Thanks for your help.

Bulk is usually fruited in the bulk tub. I don't think your doing bulk, sounds like glad food containers. Bulk would be like a Sterilite tub. "Birthing" is not at all part of normal bulk.

No, he's doing bulk tray culturing, and has the term 'birthing' confused with 'introducing into fruiting conditions' (which mean the same thing really, but are different procedures for different types of substrate).

OP there's no need to dunk a bulk substrate as part of introducing it into fruiting unless you didn't get it's moisture content correct before spawning, or let it get too dry during spawn run.  Leave substrate inside of container for fruiting.  Apply casing layer to top of substrate, then fruit it.

"I have some colonized bulk that is almost complete in a few tupperware containers"

This is what made me think he wasn't really doing bulk per say.
