Too much substrate
    #26502812 - 02/25/20 09:28 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Total noob here. I recently spawned to bulk yesterday, however my substrate came out way too wet because I had overaccounted. I brought it to field capacity, in total using 3 500g bags of hydrated coir, 4 - 5 litres of verm and 2-3 handfuls of gypsum.

I used a 100% 1lb oats spawn bag and packed my 20L (9.4 pint) tub with all of it, coming out to 4 inches. Have I fucked up completely?

Should be ok, it will take longer to colonize but the ratio will be fine if you have clean spawn and field capacity I think.  Some older threads RR discussed ratios as high as 20:1 if I remember correctly.

If it’s too wet, you fucked up a bit. Just squeeze out the excess water next time.
Otherwise you’re good though.
