Poo/Spawn Ratio
#5489925 - 04/07/06 12:31 PM (17 years, 9 months ago) |

The spawn ratio to horsepoo for WBS is 4:1. What does that mean? Is this dry weight? If i had 5 pounds of poo i would need 1.2 pounds of WBS? How many quart jars would that be? Basically I am asking for the number of quart jars of wild bird seed filled 3/4 of the way would i need to spawn to 5 pounds of horsepoo.

I use 4 full quarts of WBS to spawn 10 lbs of pasteurized hpoo in 18 gal monotubs. Colonization time is about a week, give or take a day or two.

I spawn by volume. I don't know if that's what's ment in reference to a particular spawn ratio, but it works.

I think this sounds good: 25-30% of the mix should be spawn You could use more spawn if you wanted.

It's a ratio. As long as you use the same unit of measure, whatever unit you choose to work with will be fine. You can't combine pounds and cups. If you want to use pounds as the unit of measure, use 4 pounds poo to one pound WBS.
I,myself use 2 quarts, which equals 2 pounds of WBS , to 5 pounds of poo. I like a 2:5 ratio, WBS to poo.

volume. 1:1 is one part poo one part spawn 1:10 is one part poo ten part spawn
do not exceed 1:10 ratio. people use any ratio up to that. the better the ratio the less risk of failure and the faster the colonization.

Are you trying to say the more spawn vs. poo that you have the better?
So you are saying 1:10 that is like 90% spawn and only 10% poo? Seems a little excessive on the spawn.

The more spawn, the less likelyhood of contamination due to faster colonization times. 1:10 ratio is 1 part spawn to 10 parts poo, which is very weak. Stick with a 1:4 spawn:poo ratio for best overall results.

exactly 1:10 is the highest most go and still pull it off. but stick to a better ratio then that for time and sucess sake.

Yeah, I used a 1:4. Seems to be working out great. 4 days and almost fully colonized poo.

The reason I said what I said was:
Quote:
skeletor said:volume. 1:1 is one part poo one part spawn 1:10 is one part poo ten part spawn

So now which statement is correct?? Like Premedman1 said:1:10 = 1 part SPAWN to 10 parts POO Or Like skeletor said: 1:10 = 1 part POO to 10 parts SPAWN
If Premedman1 is correct it is just like I originally said: 25% Spawn in your spawn/poo mix -- (1:4 is the same as saying 1/4 or 25%.)

backwards ahah more poo then spawn although if you did have ten times more spawn then poo you couldn't possibly fuck it up haha. sorry my bad. you can get away with having UP TO ten times more poo then spawn stick to under 5 though to be safe.

It makes a difference how you write that stuff dude. Thanks for clarifying !
And for those who like dealing in percentage volumes - (I think it's easier... just how my brain works)
the 2:5 ratio = (2*100) / 5 = 40% Spawn

Hmm, i usually do ~ 1:6 by volume spawn when using pasturized horse poo spawned in unsterile environment 100% success during spawn run. You can def go more ambitious than 40% volume spawn in the future

Sorry, but I believe your brain is working wrong 
While 2 is 40 percent of 5. It's only 35% of seven. Your total volume is 7, not 5. Add the 2 parts spawn to the 5 parts poo and you get 7. 2+5=7 and 2 is 35% of 7. LMAO 
So your spawn is actually 35% of the total volume.

Your still only using 2 parts (40% spawn of your every 5 parts.)
My brain is not wrong, just looking at it my way. Plus nowhere did I say percent of TOTAL VOLUME. Learn to read.

A 2:5 ratio is NOT 40% spawn, anyway you look at it,lol. 
The ratio means 2 parts spawn to 5 parts poo, 7 parts total. That would mean 35% spawn.
Maybe you should learn how to read, you said the 2:5 RATIO is 40% spawn. Not so, it's 35% spawn.
Do you understand ratio's? By your reasoning a 1:2 ratio would be 50% , when it's actually 33 1/3%. While this doesn't amount to a hill of beans when spawning to poo, it could lead to failure in more critical things.
