couple questions
    #27054418 - 11/23/20 06:22 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

just had a few questions

so i have two quart bags, ones way ahead of the other. does this mean that since the one bag will fully colonize faster i might have to use it alone in a tub? since the other one will still be growing

and also how much substrate do i use per quart of spawn? i see different answers all over. (coir/verm in particular)

thanks for any help :laugh:

100% colonized spawn has some shelf life. It can go a bunch of days without going bad or losing vigor, so you can keep the faster bag waiting for the slower one to catch up.

Spawn to substrate ratio is a personal preference thing. Most people including myself prefer a 1:2 ratio, that is 1 myco quart of spawn to 2 quarts of substrate. 1:1 and 1:3 are perfectly fine too. Things like speed of colonization of the substrate can vary depending on the ratio you use.

awesome thanks! does the coir to verm ratio matter? or should i just do like 1 coir brick (650g, roughly 0.68 quarts) and a quart of verm?

I add 3 qts of verm and 4,5qts of water to 650grams of coir. You have to be careful tho, not all coir are the same and not all can take the same volume of water.
