Yields on 32qt BOD monotub?

I cannot get ahold of the 54qt tubs that Bod uses. I finally found some in stock online last night but by the time I checked out they were all sold. I can however get ahold of the 32qt model that he mentions. My question is, will I get the same yield? Should I still put 5 quart jars of spawn in a 32qt tub? Or should I do 4? I don't know what to expect here. I have read that yields can be based more on surface area. But have also heard that 5qts of spawn in a 32qt or a 80qt will always be the same. Was really hoping to get the bigger tubs. Thanks.

I’ve seen Bod say he uses 2 quarts spawn in the 32qt tub.
But I’m sure he would say any range 2-5 would be fine. 5 might be overkill for the tub as there may not be enough room for them to fruit to potential. Also with the loss of space, the climate changes by a bit - warmer, more humid. Not necessarily a bad thing but there is an art to getting those canopied pinsets.
You’ll just have to do it a few times to dial it in. There’s a lot more wiggle room than I think you realize. Just keep your conditions right.

Buy, the tote. Fill the tote with water while keeping track of how many quarts of water you've used. When the tote has 4 inches of water, thats your total quart count (you want your substrate to be 4 inches tall).
Then you just use a 1:1 to 1:4 ratio of spawn to substrate.
For example: if your tote took 10 quarts of water to reach 4 inches, you want 10 quarts total mix.
If you were using a 1:1 spawn to substrate ratio, your mix would be 5 quarts spawn and 5 quarts substrate.
If you were using a 1:4 spawn to substrate ratio, your mix would be 2 quarts spawn and 8 quarts substrate.
You can use this substrate calculator but I cant confirm it's reliability.
As for yield, there is no way of knowing that until the cultivation is complete. That all comes down to genetics and environmental conditions. If you get a good cluster, you can clone from that cluster using agar and theres a high probability that the mycelium from that clone will produce similar results but even that isn't guaranteed.
I havent cultivated yet but I've been reading and studying as much as I can. I suggest you do the same.
Good luck

You would do better to run 2.5qt in two tubs and a brick of coir and 1.5qt verm that should be pretty ideal to a 54qt tub plus it gives you a chance to run two tubs vs. Maybe 1 going wrong.

It would yield more because of room and area per jar. And if you do run two tubs at 2.5qt. I always go by the 1oz per qt of spawn method but that is not very accurate. But throwing 5qt. Into that little tub would be a waste if you ask me and plus what's one more tub? You would do the same Tek as the 54 just you would have to add a little more sub. Let me know how it goes. I personally would not put all my eggs in one basket.

I’ve found that if you add more spawn than the surface area can handle you’ll just get bigger second and third flushes.
