How much substrate for 4,4 pounds of spawn?
    #25611650 - 11/13/18 10:24 AM (6 years, 2 months ago)

So I'm doing a monotub bulk grow but am not sure how much substrate I need.
I'm going with a 50/50 Coir/Verm mix and have 4,4 lbs of grains.

I heard that having more spawn makes bigger fruits, so should I go for less substrate?

Any help will be appreciated

I would use at most 20% verm. But i use 0% verm 100% coir.

Use about 25-100% substrate by volume. So 1 part spawn to 1-4 parts substrate

1:1 coir only FTW!
4.4 pounds is how many quarts? Do ratios by volume,  not weight

I'd do 1/4 a 650g brick of coir  (roughly 2 quarts)... personally, others will go as high as 1:4 and use the whole brick
