Substrate and spawn amounts?
    #26876518 - 08/12/20 08:56 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

How many quarts are in 5lbs of substrate?

How many quarts are in 1lb of rye spawn?

I'm going to purchase the pre sterilized bags for this first go.

I'm making 12 6qt tubs.

Any help I would be thankful for.

1lb spawn will roughly be 1 quart.
Substrate i don't know, maybe the same.
There's no correct formula behind.

In the end it would be very much money
to rely on foreign sterilization techniques
and a probably contamned syringe.

I guess you go for 3lb bags?
Then do one shoebox per bag,
to avoid possible cross contamination.
Ratio 1:1 they're full to the rim then :wink:

So your guess is 3lb per shoe box?
I can work with that
