Bods monotek theory question - substrate depth
    #26715306 - 06/02/20 10:11 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I am running my first Bods Monotek currently. I am planning/doing my second run, having a large bag to spawn soon. If one has a certain amount of spawn, is it better to divide between two smaller tubs, or one deeper one? It seems to me that a deeper mix in a smaller tub would result in less surface area, and would thus be easier to maintain hydration of the the substrate. This would argue for two smaller tubs.

For the purpose of discussion, let us us assume 2 inches of a 1 to 2 ratio of spawn to coir, versus a 4 inch depth of the same.

I read somewhere that you should do at least 3 inches of spawn+substrate.

Also a 1:2 ratio seems too much spawn. The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible says 25% or less of spawn to substrate is fine. I would use more coir and do two tubs at least 3 inch each.
