Is 3 quarts enough for a 50 litre tub?
    #26621375 - 04/23/20 02:36 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

I have some 50l tubs and was wondering if 3 quarts of rye spawn is enough to go with one brick of coir and 2.5l of fine verm?

Tub dimensions are 22" long, 15" wide and 12" high.

thanks,

Most recommend spawn/bulk ratio between 1:1 and 1:4. Yours is about 1:5 if i calculate correctly.  You also want your sub to be 5-10cm deep. It is possible to do different depth, but if you are new, keep it between 5-10cm.

Just some things to take into account when deciding.

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




Yes 3 could work, but if its only 3 id just spend 3-4 bucks on shoeboxes and do it that way. 1 qt spawn 2 to 3 qt sub

That was a 1-2 ratio

I like BODs approach, and yeah, it's not rocket science... but there is many ways to skin a cat.

Sub depth is discussed here. Few TCs with useful info there:

And here is some interesting reading on sub/spawn ratios by Pastywhyte:

Thanks guys, as it happen i had 2 pint jars of fiji ready as well so i made that into one shoebox and i'll turn the 3 quarts of amazon into one tub with the remaining coir/verm.

I read some articles that eat use 1.5 - 2 inch subs sometimes an this is coming out at 2.75ish so hoping it'll be okay.

Thanks,
