What is your average weekly / monthly yield?
    #26355720 - 12/01/19 02:47 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Interested in what yields you get from your operation - in terms of a return on time and gear investment. I started by running 10No 500ml jars and two bins - one 20 litres and one 50 litres. This setup produced enough shrooms for my weekend trips and to share with a friend. Over time due to tolerance I had to up the dosage and at present have 20No 500ml jars and up to five bins of sizes varying from 2 litres to 70 litres. Not all bins are in use all the time but the jars tend to be busy.

I only do MS to grain and grain to grain. When a bunch of jars mature I inspect them closely and decide what to do. The cleanest ones are used for grain transfer, the less clean ones spawned to bins and anything visibly contaminated gets tipped to a dedicated garden bed. If there is not enough clean spawn for G2G I pick a large cap and collect spores to inoculate the jars.

The above operation currently yields about 25g dry a week.

I have learnt to do everything efficiently and don't spend much time on shroom work. Planning goes a long way - pasteurising the sub, spawning to bins, having the grain ready to re-use the jars etc. My success rate is only moderate these days but, due to multiple redundancies, I always have material to work with.

How does this compare to what you do?

I knocked up my first jars on 10-14. I’ve only done shoeboxes, staggered about a week apart so I could learn from the first ones as I went.

I currently have 11 running only 4 of which have fruited, one I just harvested the third flush and the rest I’m waiting on either first or second flushes.

So far I’ve got about a quarter pound dried, so similar to yours I think but output should explode soon once they’re all mature. Especially since the first couple were a mess but the last six had all the kinks worked out.

Dam bro those numbers aren't bad at all. I'm getting giddy just thinking about a 1/4 lb...

I kinda wish I did shoeboxes because I've got 8 jars of spawn tied up in two tubs and I doubt they'll perform THAT great.

I'd be happy with 4ozs dry out of my two tubs total. I believe that would put me at about 50% BE which is pretty poor but still way better than a total loss...

So how many grams dried are you getting per each quart of spawn you use?

I just got all my supplies to start pouring plates too. Got 400mls in the PC right now. My only regret is only ordering  20 plates...

Maybe if they came sterile, I've had enough with no pour agar...

They honestly are not even that expensive

I like a nice LB a month as a minimum. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. Depends on mistakes and vacations. Laziness kills yields. I have 10 shoeboxes flushing right now. I would like 1oz from each with no real expected 2nd flushes. I consider this to be a small load. I have had 30+ SB and a dozen monotubs rockin at the same time before. I just built a 2x4 FH so 100bags a week is the goal for the future although some will be gourmets.:smoker:

Petris are cheap and highly recommended by the case. Agar FTW!:rockon:

10 - 12 ounce monotub..

standard is ten.  Yep, ten ounces one flush.. i dont even go a second flush.  these are really strong isolates and my environment is supercharged with forced fresh air.  I manipulate the evaporation rate, prior to enhancing my environment, the same isolates did average 6 to 7 ounces. 

50+ tubs.. do the math..

I'm just getting started and still really working out the kinks, but am rotating through about 4 shoeboxes at a time. I'm trying to get three flushes before I dump a substrate. In my first month of harvesting, I pulled almost a quarter pound dried (110 g, to be precise). Hoping to be able to sequence projects so that I've always got about that many shoeboxes spawned, and also hoping that isolating some better genetics is going to improve the yield.

Im only getting about 1 ounce per shoebox.  (1.5 quarts spawn/2.5 quarts CVG) these days, at best.

Ive had genetics before that double that output, or more.  Hopefully will again soon.

One ounce over multiple flushes? Or just the first flush?

These ones are one flush wonders.  Sometime I get a small second flush, but it's not a big deal.

That makes sense. I’m just starting out and doing if for fun so it seems crazy to me that people toss them after one go. I just got a half ounce third flush, dunked it for the first time, and three days later it’s got another 20ish pins.

I can see how people get there once space becomes an issue and not spawn though.

I’ll take a picture of the label I think it’s 6qt  sterilite or however that brand is spelled. I started with a tek from another site that had some questionable steps and once I came here I altered it a little.

I’m just doing 1-1.5 spawn coir ratio with one quart of spawn per box.  I’ll throw in some random amounts of  verm too cuz the bag I have is stupid big. Then mix it up put about 1/3 inch layer of coir snap the top on and that’s it til it knots up.

I have been using a big tub as a humidity chamber lately  for later flushes when pins start coming from the entire brick. It’s pretty cool I have a little shelf made from a metal grid thing and I had shrooms coming out the bottom too.

Look up bods shoebox Tek. The 6qt and 16qt  sterilite shoeboxes are pretty standard around here. U can also look up mushboys Tek on shoeboxes.
Edit: Bods easy AF shoeboxes

This might be more technique and practice than numbers. Just with shoeboxes, 2qts spawn each, yield 1-2oz per box(much more than 25g). so as long as you cycle atleast 1 or 2 good shoebox a week you should be beating that number easily if everything's clean and managed right.

Start working agar, use clean spawn, perfect your tub maintenance. Keep shooting syringes to grains and you'll always be working from questionable spawn.

About 1 oz per mycoqt on first flush Anything less than that needs improvement or the genetics are wack

All about clean spawn and good genetics.

OF COURSE i'm talking dry weight..

I already posted a pic of one of my smaller monotubs in the picture of the day thread.

This is one of the smaller tubs, 9 or 10 oz's..

and yes, this is all first flush..

yea i kinda think surface area is a factor for your highest yield. 1oz min per myco quart is thrown around a lot, but in shoeboxes at 1:1 as dense as the pics below, they still top little over 2oz at best ime.


I threw out 1-2oz as an easy goal for an average looking tub, not canopy, with 1oz being the minimum.

/e small typ-o fixed.

Ive gotten results like that maybe once.  Ive always chalked it up to strain.  Like, out of the individual strains, I blindly selected a Wayne Gretzky from the MS agar plate.

this is my little trick

Great Isolates and perfect consistent growing environment.  I also pull fresh air direcly from outside, this allow them to get big.  Temperature in grow is ideally a bit cooler than 70F, they grow thicker in cooler environments.


I have a humidifier/s which get cycled on and off -using a cheap 24 hour timer; this lead to extremely high rates of water evaporation off my substrate.  I have 3 large box fans I keep  24/7 too.  Without the humidifier the fans would dry out my tubs very fast. 

without the humidifier cycle i get about 7 ounces first flush on same isolates.

highly doubting you have isolates(2 spores mated, single set genetics). they take months of work usually, and most the actual isolates fruited are reported as not very good, as though they do better with multiple strains working together.

I think you probably mean clone, or just a nice even culture. Terminology is different all over the place.

This is a problem.  Somebody needs to contact the nomenclature society so we can settle on some language here that defines what we mean more precisely when it comes to isolates.

I propose "isolation"  to mean an average isolation from an MS agar plate.  Some isolation has occurred alright, but there are still multiple individuals in the sample.  If someone wants to talk about a single individual strain, it must have the qualifier "pure" or some equivalent to distinguish it.

So, the results of that isolation give you not a strain, but many strains.  "Strain complex" is a term that comes to mind to describe that.  But we normally save the qualifiers for the more rare class of examples, so maybe 'strain' should be taken as meaning 'a complex of strains', and if one wants to describe an individual, they should use the qualifier 'pure'.

The shroomery TC's and Regulars nearly all acknowledge the same nomenclature. The mushroom community at large butchers terms. Isolate, strain, clone, all already have definitions that're ignored elsewhere.

Some would call what you described a mono culture, although that one is also often debated depending on how you want to interpret it. Most would just call that a decent culture to work with since it's just ms worked until even.

That's fascinating.  So, you have a room where you run a humidifier on an on/off cycle, and a bunch of fans so there's lots of air movement and hence evaporation off the substrate?  Or is any of this stuff hooked up directly to your tubs?

Thank you for your comments.

My operation is run to produce enough shrooms for my own consumption, with the minimum time and $$$ expended. As long as I get my 20-25g per week without having to do too much I am not concerned about the yield per bin, square foot, canopies etc. This being the case I am not interested in upskilling and re-tooling for agar, LC or cloning. Having to fill an extra bin with spawn now and again to get the yields I am after suits my MO better. 

Incidentally I did have two or three very productive bins over the last year but, with two house moves, my workflow was heavily disrupted and the yields suffered. At present I have ten G2G jars which all look clean so hopefully will be able to cultivate this strain productively for a few generations.

Great Isolates 




highly doubting you have isolates(2 spores mated, single set genetics). they take months of work usually, and most the actual isolates fruited are reported as not very good, as though they do better with multiple strains working together.

I think you probably mean clone, or just a nice even culture. Terminology is different all over the place.




I hate clones.. i don't use them.

i follow proper technique of thinly spreading spores on petri in a specific criss crossing zig zag pattern. 

i transfer early, and seperated each sector that do arise into their own isolated petri dish.  I wouldn't belittle my work by calling it a clone, and simply a "nice even culture" seems off the mark too.

I fruit tons of isolated sectors.  i see the results live and in person, most do get tossed.

I assume that what i have can still carry a title of isolate.. how many disagree?

It's an isolated mushroom culture which gives consistently good result and same yield.  I been doing it this way for years and years..  this process takes me about 3 - 6 months before i decide on the keepers.

Good Lord!  I have been able to get 2 oz a square foot sometimes a 1/4 lb




Can you tell us how you do it?

Ive gotten results like that maybe once.  Ive always chalked it up to strain.  Like, out of the individual strains, I blindly selected a Wayne Gretzky from the MS agar plate.




this is my little trick

Great Isolates and perfect consistent growing environment.  I also pull fresh air direcly from outside, this allow them to get big.  Temperature in grow is ideally a bit cooler than 70F, they grow thicker in cooler environments.


I have a humidifier/s which get cycled on and off -using a cheap 24 hour timer; this lead to extremely high rates of water evaporation off my substrate.  I have 3 large box fans I keep  24/7 too.  Without the humidifier the fans would dry out my tubs very fast.

Nope, not hooked up to tubs.  It's all in one room.

Adding the humidifier cycle bumped yield by like 50%?? 

That’ll be first on my list of extras once I get growing down.

really good pics of plates showing zero sectoring is what it would take to believe really, otherwise it's hearsay from someone nobody knows yet.

Here's verums last thread from his pe isolate project. you can see the progress by following back and really looking for sectoring closely on his last few transfers.
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25178416

Absolutely plausible you have isolates assuming that's all true and had a decent dilution starting it. It's just not common with newer users and sectoring is can be missed on a nice even culture.
Also again; it seems pretty rare for the isolates that do get made to actually have awesome results, so if you have many successful isolates, i'd lean towards not being true isolates, just nice even cultures.

definetly not as much as 50%

but It all started years ago..


when i used to have infected monotubs, i would remove them from my grow room and fruit them outside..  those that fruited outside got huge as hell..  way bigger and heavier than my inside grow; i assumed it was because of all the fresh air.. mixed in with some unsubstantiated theory that like marijuana plants, more air hitting the plan = heavier stalks.  i said fuck it, i'm going to pump fresh air from outside > inside, then turn up the fan power..  my fans are strong enough to creat a nice little current ontop of the monotub lid if i don't hold it down with a brick. 

all this extra air dried out the tubs, after another few years of tweaking and turning knows.. i found the sweet spot by cycling a humidifier.

I believe it I thought the same thing about comparing it to weed.

I just skimmed earlier but I thought it said you went from 7oz to 10 with the humidifier/fan up. How much do you think it increased your yield?

that is EXACTLY how my plates look.. maybe even a little sexier(to me)  perfect geometric growth with zero sectoring.  i'm not a newbie - amatuer mushroom grower.

I'm actually flattered i'm good enough to be doubted lol..

Now that i think about it..  30% on the first flush is a more accurate way to put it.

I toss tubs after the first flush. when i had 7 ounce flush's, I would alway go for a second flush which would give me maybe another 3 ounces..  now on the rare tub -close to 12 oz is a record.

Whats your spawn to sub ratio?

Killer tubs man, u def kno what ur doing :cheers:, i used to have a pe culture that pushed 10 from 5 qts first flush and another 2 the second till some asshole turned my fridge temp to damn near freezin, workin on findin another.

On topic: i get 1-2 pounds a month dependin on how lazy i am
