Re: ratio of liquid culture to grain spawn [Re: A.k.a]

I’ve never dealt with spawn in weight but a qt of grain feels over a pound itself (including glass) so a very approximate guess would be about a pound a qt. So if you have 2.5 qt that would be a low spawn ratio for 1 tub of that size, let alone 3.

I’d use it to make 2 or 3 of those 6qt shoe boxes from Walmart. $.88 each

And I think 5cc of that solution should be fine. Squirt an area, let it colonize a nice chunk the size of a newborn head ? and then mix it in with all the raw grain and let it finish up. Done within 3 weeks I’d say for sure.

Anywhere between 1:1 and 1:4 ratio. I feel like 1:3 ish is a good standard. That’s a brick of coir, 2qt verm, 4ish qts water which comes out to 11-12 qts substrate and 4 - 5 qt of spawn.

The nutrients come from your grain so you want plenty. If you try to go too low you will extend your colonization times which adds significant risk, and you’ll lower your overall yield.
