BE question: But ballpark responses OK...
    #27107803 - 12/25/20 07:32 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

I got monotubs, 4 quarts of hydrated wheat (53 oz water) and hydrated coir (85 oz water)

If I didn't dunk add water between flushes... what percentage of that water could I expect to harvest in the form of plump cubes? 50%? maybe in two flushes? (138oz x 1/2 = 69oz.... 6.9oz dry?) Some is lost to evaporation... so theres that. Is there a known water percentage that a substrate kinda quits?

Are you asking so you can make cultivation decisions for a current project? I would recommend you post a pic and a TC can give you a plan of action. Unless you wanna do it yourself.

That's a kitty right? Not a flat faced pit bull right?

I’m not sure pics could help with this kind of question, but tedoro, those are some interesting questions. I feel like a good way to tell just how much water has been absorbed from the substrate into the mushrooms, would be to compare wet weight to dry weight of the yields.

Maybe run a tub and measure out the exact amount of water, don’t add any water and just see how many mushrooms you can get and compare that to original amount of water to see just how much can be taken out of a substrate.

However, isn’t BE calculated using dry weight of substrates to wet weight of mushrooms? So then the amount of water you add would not be apart of calculating BE at all.

But this could be another interesting statistic for mushroom cultivation. I wonder if different cultures will take up more/less water than another culture.

Oh wow yeah I really hit the bong hard like 4 min ago. I imagined him there with 4 monotubs post first flush, tube drying to a crisp, staring, wondering what to do.

I'm having more and more success with dryer coir and I wanted to know what my effect on my end 'possible' yields are. Mostly just a thought experiment... I don't need to get super deep in math.
