4qts or 5lbs millet into a spawn bag?
    #26832726 - 07/19/20 03:24 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I've read some people say they put 5lbs grain into a spawn bag, but others say 4qts. After a few months of going with 5lbs, I finally did the math on each and measured both amounts by mass and volume. I'm working with soaked millet, usually inoculate with LC, and usually spawn to a 650g coir brick.

3qts millet = 2268g = 5lbs.

4qts millet = 3215g = 7lbs.

So what should I go with? Does the difference even matter?

I use 4lbs per bag to 1 brick of coir.
To me it works out to 1.3:1 coir:spawn on a 650g brick of coir.
Full colonization of substrate in 3-5 days
The difference would be maybe a little faster colonization but 7lbs per brick seems like way to much imo
