quick question:

if I'm calculating volumes of ingredients for a bulk substrate recipe, how do I measure out things like 2.52L of horse manure or 2.16L of vermiculite or 0.15pt of gypsum, etc?

Quick question: How do you guys think this plate is looking? This is the 2nd transfer after the spore dish. I planned on sending this one to grains once it grows out.

Just spore dust darkening line area. And contam looks like yeast and you shud just watch it and continue fruiting wat u got. If yeast blows up elsewhere fast toss faster , but you cud probably pull another flush fine n dandy

I'm here for it.

I'm gonna try it when I get home from vacation.

I definitely suggest topping off with sterilized water.

I just wonder with the LC in the syringe in the PC what will happen during pressure and vacuum(cooling) cycles.

Let it rip and post the results.

Always always make.sure every lid fits before leaving isle.. also ya gotta love it when somebody else left other "materials" in the tote isle!!

for real man I'm going to have to clean both of em because the big ones all had some bird shit on em as well. I'll probably just straight up end up taking the big one back if you guys say the 29qt is going to work well for the water tub tek.


Honestly I was just having an anxiety overload and I was pretty positive I needed the small tub anyway so I at least made sure that one fit.

I did get some strange looks putting wore racks in tubs and putting a Mason jar on the racks to see how much room I needed. I doubt they knew what I was doing though :p

So For 6 6oz pf cakes(probably less when the dry verm layer is gone) do yall think the 29qt is going to be best? You don't want to much empty space in a water tub fc from what I've read. So I'm pretty sure it's right but what's throwing me the curveball is the solid lid. Does the lid need to be transparent for light to come through on a water tub tek? It's not going to even be directly under the light source.

Don’t worry about the lid.
I haven’t seen it matter at all to any of the growers using non-clear lids.
I think that looks pretty roomy.

Awesome man thank you so much that's exactly what I needed to hear. Now my dread has turned into excitement again I was having such a tough time conceptualize how much room was needed horizontally.

I know not alot of shroomies grow big fruits horizontally but just didn't want them to run out of room to expand outwards.

I knew the height was fine it's got plenty of room for my shroomies vertically. But the 360 degree horizontal growth was what I just could not figure out.

And I had no idea about the lid. Thanks again my friend made my night better.

Sounds like a metered pipette is right up your alley.

I missed the part about you not having full use of your hands sorry.

thanks for the response, I can give this method a try.  but it raises the question, how do I get the initial known volume?
