6qt shoe box ratios
    #26721559 - 06/05/20 10:36 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello I have a few jars fully colonized and I’m going to attempt my first shoeboxes using bods easy shoe box tek. He suggests a 1 to 4 ratio so I’ll be doing 1 quart spawn to 4qt coir. That’s gonna fill the shoe box 80 percent. Does this sound about right? Should I mix it well or do grains bottom and coir on top like a casing layer? Thanks

You can use whatever ratio. If you wanna do that tek though, I would follow what it says and do what he does in it.

Ive got a 6qt tub going right now as well, and I used a 1:2 ratio and its doing quite well. The next one I was planning on doing it 1:1.

Do you think a 6qt tub could support two quarts of spawn and 4 qt of coir? I know it will be filled to the rim but with only a plastic bag going on too I really don’t need the head room. Would it be too overcrowded for full potential?

Mix it up well.

I use one quart of spawn and however much coir goes up to the line on the tub. I think it’s three inches deep. Not sure how much coir it is but I’ll guess around 3 quarts.


Some people use two quarts of spawn in a shoebox but that’s too much for me. You can fill it as full as you want, just dub tub or use a bag like you said.

You can fill it up as much as you want, as dude said. You might not be able to close the lid, but if you aint using the lid anyways, then it doesnt matter. I just fill the 6 quart about half way. I usually shoot for 3 to 4 inches of depth with any kind of bulk tub. I like having the lid on tho

Okay thanks to both of you. I was just worried that overcrowding the small tub may affect growth if there just isn’t enough space for so much myc that wants to grow. Just thinking about space savings cutting down on number of shoeboxes I need.
