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. :thumbup:

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.

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




Quote:

Premedman1 said:

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. :smile:  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 :wink:

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 :grin:

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. :smile:  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. :grin:

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.

Not trying to be a bitch,lol, just trying to teach :wink:

1 part something, to 4 parts something else would be 20%, not 25%.

In math, : doesn't equal / .

Why is it you're mistaken about something and you roll your eyes at someone else.

If this is the attitude you have when someone tries to show you something, maybe you're in the wrong hobby.

yeah hippie chick is definitly right 1:4 does not = 1/4... 1/4 would be 1 OF 4 where as 1:4 is 1 TO 4, you see in 1:4 there is 5 parts all together and in 1/4 there is 4 parts all total

Again for the third time, I never said I was referring to percent by TOTAL volume.

How hard can that be to understand? You are the one bringing up percentage by total volume.

Here it is again: This is not by TOTAL volume pecentage
1 is 25% of 4 so:
1:4 is 25% spawn to every 4 parts

I didn't know I had to spell everything out like you are some type of moron. If you don't understand I don't know how much more simpler I can get it. And I said this is how I like to see it.

Who are you to judge it is the wrong way; for me?

You obviously can't offer any intelligent response to try an understand so you resort to cutting on someone?

Kids :rolleyes:

Point is, The less spawn the more chance of contam. due to slower colonization. Don't use to till of spawn, or to much.

Just like anything in life, Moderation (kinda...hah)

Thank you. Thats really the only reason I was rolling my eyes before, I was confused.

Too bad others had to perceive it a different way.

Just noticed that in the mix the main point of this whole thread was lost.

I agree seems pointless especially when you are just voicing how you see things or your own opinion. People jump all over you without even trying to see what you said.

Like this. What did that have anything to with this topic or anything I was talking about. How can one possibly tell any type of context by writings on a computer screen? That had nothing to do with why I rolled my eyes. lol

sorry to get back on the subject but... I read the posts over and yes you

are SEEING it the right way, I jumped the gun on my post i thought you didn't understand.

The confusion comes in when you mix % with parts. I think what your saying is that in 1:4 the 1 is equal to 25% of the 4 parts. But the way its posted you can see how someone could THINK your saying that in 1:4 the 1 is 25% of the WHOLE mixture

see in that sense it just gets really confusing

Damn someone actually sees what I was saying. I know it is confusing and like I said it is how I think about it and my brain works. And I see what Hippiechick said. But did I deserve to be slammed all over the place because of that?? Christ.

It's a ratio, 1:4 ratio means 1 part of x for every part of 4 parts of y. So, in a 1:4 ratio, 1 equals 1/5th, because you have 5 parts

right paradis but he is saying it differently. Say your using cups as your parts, so you have 1 part (cup) X and 4 parts (cups) Y, 25% of 4Y is
1 cup wich is equal to X so X is equal to 25% of 4Y.

In a 1:4 spawn/poo ratio, the 1 part of of spawn is 20% of the total mixture. 1/5th = 20%.

absolutly not arguing that at all. 1 being X and 4 being Y in X:Y X is 20% of X:Y however X is EQUAL TO 25% of Y. But this conversation is totally off subject so we should probably stop posting on it.

Sounds more like something in the pub than cult. It does have something to do with cult., but it's way off the main thread.

Unless ACN45 would like to completely understand the math behind it. :smirk:

Ok but what is the percentage of the 1 part of spawn to the 4 parts of poo, not the total mixture.

See now?

DAMNIT

X = 25% of 4Y.

yes yes, correct, but that's not the problem here, we're getting into mathmatical semantics
You could also say the correct spawn ratio is 1x=1y, then everybody would mix it half and half



All that really matters is the volume of spawn to substrate, right? This is to help people with the correct mix, right?


1:4
you add one part of spawn for every 4 part of poo/straw etc using a 1:4 ratio. In the final mix, the 1 portion of spawn is 20%, 1/5th.

25%...

But when you mix it...You have 5 parts..

So why would the 25% matter?..

Just curious

Or 25% spawn of your every 4 parts poo.

Doesn't it equal the same thing as 20% of the total when your done?

The 25% DOES NOT matter a fucking bit. It's not even ''real'' as far as we're concerned here. You take one part of spawn, add 4 parts of substrate, that's five parts. It's as simple as that. No need to make it harder, jesus fucking christ.


BTW- 1:4 IS NOT the standard ratio. It's anywhere from 1:1 to 1:10, you decide which is best for you. I don't want a bunch of noobs in here to start using 1:4 just cause they saw everyone in here arguin about 1:4.

Ahhhh

I see.

25% spawn for every 4 part of poo...

And yes, it still comes out as 20% when your done.

:thumbup:

Glad that's all cleared up now.

Take care everyone.

LOL!! the 25% really doesn't matter and using the 25% is just the way more difficult way of saying it. I mean thats why we use ratios right because its way easier to say mix 1 part x and 4 parts y than it is to say get some y and add 25% of y to the mixture to get 20% x there can it be done now?

It's not about whether or not it's more difficult.

It's whether or not he was right abut how he was saying it.

With that said, I'm out.

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.




4parts hpoo : 1 part WBS
if you are using quarts just use 4 quarts poo and 1 quart WBS dont worry about percentige or doing the math
if you are using weight in lbs you can do it like this on a calculator
A x 4=y (A is weight of colonized WBS, 4 would be the 4 in the 4:1 ratio, and y would be the amount of bulk substrate you would want to use to get a exact 4:1 ratio)
example 1.25lbs WBS x 4= 5lbs hpoo. mixing the 5lbs poo and 1.15lbs WBS will give you 20% spawn and 80% bulk substrate making it a 4:1 ratio

Not to beat dead horse poo.. but strictly in mathematical terms you can't refer to a percentage of something using the symbol for a ratio.  using a ":" symbol to compare two numbers or variables implies that you are referring to a ratio between the two parts and as such cannot be directly used to imply percentage or fraction thereof.  Not flaming just thought I'd throw that factoid atcha 

party on.
