Is this a solid Yield?

66qt Monotub, 5lb wbs grain spawn to 10lbs Horse poo mix, B+, 3 flushes = 178 dried grams. Is this about right or should someone expect more? Thanks.
1st and 2nd flushes were about equal. 3rd was small quantity but very thick meaty stems. Took much longer to dry those.

Let's assume that the fruits are 93% water (bodhisatta measurement)
dry substrate ingredients (assuming that is what you gave) = 15 * 454 = 6810g
dry fruits = 178g dry/wet fruits = .03 => wet fruits = ~5933g
Your BE = (wet fruit weight)/(dry in substrate) * 100 = 5933/178 * 100 = 87%
For a first flush, 87% BE is probably okay, but Bohisatta said this to me last night in this thread.

I wouldn't question bodhisatta with 58,350+ posts (unless his intent was something other than to inform but I doubt he'd be that incredibly rude for no reason to me), but for my part--and I'm somewhat experienced as well--I think your grow sounds pretty decent for a first flush. For a full grow, though, you can probably double that I am told.

Just to clarify. That was 5lb hydrated grain spawn and 10lb Hydrated substrate. Not dry. I bought the pre sterilized/pasteurized bags and inoculated with a spore syringe. I'm not sure on the dry weights! Thanks for the info though.

Ah! Okay.... Recomputing...

Horse manure is usually balanced to 35% dry manure dry = 10 * .35 * 454 = 1589g
Grain is usually 50% dry grain dry = 5 * .5 * 454 = 1135g
Total sub dry = 1589 + 1135 = 2724g
Your BE is (wet fruit weight)/(dry in substrate) * 100 = 5933/2724 * 100 = 218%
If my math is right, that sounds pretty high to me.

Try you dry/ wet calc again. It would be /.07 not .03. Wet weight approx 2543g. Your example assumes fruit are 97% water instead of 93%.

Yup, that's a big mistake. Thanks bodhisatta!
dry fruits = 178g dry/wet fruits = .07 wet fruits = ~2542g

Thanks for the help guys. Good info. I'll also weigh wet fruits next time.
So 93%. Not as good as I was hoping. I guess that means there is definite room for improvement.

Was this MS or agar inoculation to wbs?

It was a Multispore syringe. I did get some good spore prints though. Maybe if I try to get some better genetics going, I might have a better yield?

I think it's pretty good. That handwaving I did to try to compute the dry weight of your substrate, though, is probably off. It's true that saturated grains are around 50%, maybe your grain wasn't. Also the manure can really vary quite a bit from 65% water weight. If you could get (a) the total weight of the dry substrate and (b) the wet of all the fruits you pull, you can just plug them right into the BE equation next time and get a more accurate measurement.

I doubt it's a genetic thing really. There are so many other things more likely IMO. Yes, genetics play a role, but I think more often MS grows are limited by other factors. I don't know anything about your technique, fruiting chamber, temperature, humidity, etc., so I can't really comment on your specific grow here. If you want to improve your yield, though, there are lots of trusted cultivators here that are very helpful. That's what the site is all about.
