ratio of liquid culture to grain spawn
    #26681103 - 05/19/20 12:59 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hello, this is my first attempt at growing and I purchased liquid culture and pre-sterilized grain spawn. I wondering a few things:

1) I have a 2.5 pound bag of spawn (millet) and a syringe with 10mL of liquid culture. From what I understand the more LC you add the faster inoculation will occur. That being said it would be nice to not use the whole syringe in one go unless people think that is necessary. How many mL of LC would you recommend for the 2.5 pound bag? I know this is probably a tricky question because it is hard to know how concentrated the LC is. Ideally I would like the bag to be fully inoculated in 2.5-3.5 weeks.

2) If I don't use it all now is it best to keep the syringe in the freezer or fridge? How long will it last?

3) I am hoping to grow in 3 70 quart monotubs. Will a fully inoculated 2.5 pounds of grain spawn be enough for all 3 tubs? It would be nice to spread that one bag across all 3, unless that will not be concentrated enough.

I welcome any advice!

Thanks for the input everyone!

I am also wondering what grain spawn to sub ratio I should use with a monotub setup. Because I purchased pre-sterilized grain spawn I would like to minimize the amount I use for each tub, but I obviously don't want to use too little. I see that Frank recommends about 2.5 Q of fully inoculated grain spawn for 4 Q of sub. This seems kind of high to me.
I would love to hear from some people that have grown in a monotub about what their ratios typically are.
