In a shitty predicimate...

Well, I currently have 24 quart jars. I used the Doc's wild birdseed tek. They are almost fully colonized and I don't have time to wait for poo in the mail (Definently will order poo next time... SHIT) Anyway, I've been looking around and cannot find a tek that would allow me to set something up like the double tub(Minus the poo). Problem is I bought all the supplies for the double tub. I really would like to use poo, but I can't find it anywhere (Home Depot, Lowes...etc) Is there any alternative that I could use in place of the poo? If there isn't, what tek should I read to produce some bulk off of WBS?
Links are the shit. Pics are the shit. If you can, I would like both.
Thanks in advance
Lnog live the shroomery!

You could always use straw, or compost.

Do you know of any GOOD straw teks (Without having to buy anything online) and something that I wouldn't have to hydrate all of the time?

Dude, straw is just about the easiest thing in the world to find! I got a bale of about 15k (i'm guessing), pre-pasteurised and chopped, literally ready to use, from a local Pets-At-Home store. ?1.25, enough for a LOT of shrooms!

Hell yea. I think I'll buy straw. But the only thing is that I want ot be able to replace the poo with straw as substrate. 2 Things- Can I do this in the double tub tek/ monotub tek (and how) and if I can't, what tek should I look at so I can produce some bulk without having to order anything online and not have to mess with humidifiers and shit?

yah you can use straw in the DT or MT. Straw is considered a bulk substrate.

You do know you can keep your colonized jars for about 2-3 weeks at room temperature without problems, don't you?
If you really want to do poo so bad, order it, get it, use it......
You still have about 5 days until those jars are ready anyway...

As I visualize myself using wheat straw instead of poo for substrate, I am going to use the double tub tek. I will put about an inch or so of pasturized straw down and the crumble some colonized WBS on top. Then, I will put some more straw on top of that, then put more WBS on top of that then more straw? I then think I'm supposed to push it down as hard as I can with my fists. I am aiming for a 4 inch depth of substrate and about a 1/2 inch of a casing mix. Is this right? What casing would be both optimum and easy to do with straw? (Do you HAVE to have a casing?) Also, I read somewhere that I should cut the straw to make the colonization faster. When should I do this? Thanks.

Basically just layer straw, then spawn, straw, spawn. Compact it and apply your casing layer. 50/50+ Casing Tek is one of the best casing recipes you can follow. Casings aren't absolutely necessary, but they do help maximize yield.
Shred your straw if you have the time and patience.

No no no, you don't apply the casing layer until the mycelium completely colonizes the bulk substrate, so like 5 days or so after you mix the spawn and bulk sub. And you can choose b/t layer or just mixing it in. Either will work.
