Hey all - Ive got some WBS jars that are incubating, and plan on casing them with h/poo, possibly using 5 gallon buckets...if i did, how many jars of spawn to each bucket should i use? btw they are half pint jars....brazilian and z strain.

If you don't feel like figuring the sq. footage of your bucket, try just using 25% spawn to poo. Doesn't matter what size your container is then. Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony. Hippie Chick

squealer- check out the tubs they have at staples. opaque tub w/ clear lid. (can find nowhere else.)
5 lbs of PP fits in quite nicely and 2 qts should put you slightly above your 25% ratio.
it was overkill, but just so you have a reference point for your expirementation, "I" should be just ahead of you.
here is a pic of 3 qts Z strain spawned to 5 lbs of PP Tenn Stud; day two of spawn run:

Ill definitely check out staples for those tubs...I was going to order some tenn stud, but I think I'm gonna go with a 75% straw, 25% poo mix instead. What do you think?

They have them at Walmart too...they kick ass..

Little plastic flip top lid...and the kick ass thing is, with bulk, the lid condensates just enough so that you cant see through it. I left it sitting out in my living room with people over and they never noticed it just sittin in the corner in a pile with stuff. Light gets through the top though...
Go with more poo, less straw IMO. Reverse that ratio...horse poo is already about half straw..

Yeah they do...they piss me the fuck off. These are fucking great and they stopped carrying and you cant find them ANYWHERE, even online:

The black tubs stopped being carried at the one I bought the tub from originally (about a month ago) when I went back...I saw them at another one about 5 days ago though...had no money for them at the time, plus I already have WAY to many containers...

all right...i found a source for h/poo by my house, if i go get a bunch, do i need to dry it out, age it, etc, before i pasteurize, or can I just collect it and pasteurize it right away? also, is it recommended to pasteurize straw and h/poo together, or seperate?
