Substrate question.
    #28184962 - 02/13/23 04:04 AM (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hi , just a few quick substrate questions.  I read people using 3 inch substrate for monotubs. However I am using much smaller tubs so would like to know what the ideal substrate height would be ?

Also what would you recommend for the ratio of sub to inoculated grain be ?

I have 2kg of grain (just over 2 quarts)

Will a 1 brick coco bucket tek be enough sub to mix with the grain ? Or will it be too much ?

Finally I am aware coco and verm is sufficient for a sub. However do people still use / add manure and is it worthwhile? Can you pasteurise the manure with the coco in the bucket at the same time using 4 quarts boiling water ?

My tub measurements are as follows : L 26cm x w 16cm x h 14cm.

Thanks

Do you have pics of your spawn?

What is the quart measurement of your tub?

I like a 1" minimum casing layer and up to 2.5"

1:4 is standard but people do up to 1:10, depends on how long you want to wait.

Hi fiddle.  Spawns not quite ready yet. Just started to take to the rye grain. I am running 2 x 1kg bags of GT.

I guess the tubs are about 6 quarts

Ok, so it's basically the size of a shoebox. Try this:
