Substrate ratio
    #26695247 - 05/25/20 03:47 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

So my first go using rye berry kits was a fail, so I went with the PF Tek way and it is going very well, I have attached a few images. I am trying to figure out how much substrate I should make for 5 jars? Or is 5 jars all at once to many for the amount of space?



my little greenhouse is 24x15 inches. I inoculated the jars on May 6th.

The setup is mostly automated. I have a seedly pad under the unit and a humidifier nothing running on an inkbird probes. I will have a full spectrum light setup once the jars are done that has its own timer built-in.

No idea about all your electrodes, and a tub of water. Keep it simple. Please explain that concotion that you have going on.

What tek might that be? Whatever you are doing, it's way off base.

What part is way off base? Note the humidifier is not running I was just testing it for when the jars are ready to birth.

I used PF Tek for the jars but I want to break them up into substrate instead of just using the cakes. 1 Brick of Coco coir 8 quarts vermiculite 16 quarts water. Not sure that is enough or to much bulk substrate.

I think what Tstone is saying is that whatever that set-up is, is out of the ordinary for P.F Tek.

Anyway, assuming your jars are made the standard P.F Tek way, and you will be using only prepped coir, you have room to play anywhere between 1:1 to 1:4. (Spawn:Substrate). The less substrate, the quicker it'll colonize it. I usually stick to 1:1 or 1:2 depending on how many cakes to a shoebox. So if those are pint jars, then 1-2 pints of substrate per jar.

I've never done more than 4 half-pint jars in a shoebox so I don't know how all 5 of those would do.

Spawn jars and Monotubs are already automated. Heating pads bake jars and substrates. Room temp(approx 68-76f) is optimal for every step of this process. You don't need any probes or humidifiers or anything else of the sort. These sorts of unnecessarily complicated setups are based on long outdated info and are too often nothing more than automated failure. Set your jars on a shelf and let em do their thing. Spawn to a tub when ready. Dial in the tub to optimize passive air exchange, and let it do it's thing. Watch conditions and make adjustments/mist if needed. It's really that simple

That was the original plan was a basic monotub, but the closet I have to use gets cold af. Either the ac is on our the bedroom windows are open when it's cold out. Thank you guys for the info, there is so much information out there it's hard to sift through it all.
