I didn't read it but it should take two sentences to make a formula for substrate mixtures

Mix spawn with equal to 4x more substrate. Make it 2-6 inches thick. It's not rocket science you shouldn't even need to bother doing math at all period. Use a brick of coir 4-7 jars of spawn and put it in a tub

Very helpful for people that don't use the "standard" sized brick of coir or use a different size tub to where the "standard" sized brick of coir could be too little or too much. In my case, I have a much larger brick of coir then 650g, I also use different size tubs then the techs use so to break the formula apart for my needs before I begin keeps from wasting time and product.

That is SO overly complicated! By the time it would take to read, take notes, and study all that you could of mixed up, colonized, and harvested 10 tubs.
Seriously how hard is it to figure out a basic 1:1 to 1:4 spawn to coir ratio?
This hobby isn’t that difficult.

You could just use a prybar to break up a bigger block and weigh out approximately 650g of coir instead of hunting down appropriate tubs for different amounts of sub.
There are also substrate calculators like this http://substratecalculator.weebly.com/
I have no clue how well those calculators work. I always did like bod said.

I use cross multiplication for anything different than 650g of coir :shrug:

I dont search for particular size tubs...i get what i get, I use math to get the right ratios for the size I have on hand. 650g may be not enough or too much for mine.

as long as your substrate depth is between an inch and six inches you'll be fine

If you have too much coir just leave it in the bucket or put it in a bag or dry it out and store it or something.

You're making the easiest part of this whole process a pain in the dick.

Yep.

Multiplication shouldn't be that hard:shrug:
If it is, I linked a tool. If that's still hard then I guess it's not the easiest part for some people.

The water amount must be half of the non-spawn substrate, because the spawn:sub ratio will change the amount of water needed and we want the water to match that required by our coir/verm.





:confused:

this is confusing me. you should not make the connection about 5qts spawn and 5qts water because their is no connection.

spawn has nothing to do with how you prep bulk sub. its always prepped the exact same always. has nothing to do with the amount of spawn being used.
