MONOTUB + SUBSTRATE QUESTION
    #26668334 - 05/13/20 09:52 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi - First time grower in the UK

I am currently growing mycelium on 2 x 1 kg of ryegrain bags. I am just getting ready to make my monotub. I have a 20L tub is this going to be big enough? If so how much substrate of coir and vermiculite should I use?

Thank you in advance.

Hey, a 20litre tub is going to be to small.
I think 1kg of cooked grains is about 3-4 quarts(70%full).

Always go by volume not weight and you won't make any calculation mistakes, for best results I find 1:2 ratio works great, but you can stretch it alot more upto 1:7 I wouldn't go past that.

Thanks for your reply. I picked some 70 litre tubs as I thought I had better do it properly as my spawn is looking really good right now. When you say 1:2 do you mean 1 coir to 2 vermiculite? Thanks for the info

The most common mono size in the states is 66qt (whatever that is in liters...62?)...Most ppl use 4-5 myco qts per brick (650g, 2L verm, 4-4.5L water)...when i use bags, they have about 2kg of spawn in the them

1 part spawn 2 parts coir is usually good.
