Tenn Stud ?
    #5657285 - 05/21/06 05:26 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I am planning on getting some pre-pasteurized substrate from Tenn. Stud ( http://www.tennstud.com/catalog/item/1676047/1113775.htm ) . My first question is how much will I need (weight-wise). They have 5,10,20 lb bags. I am going to need to fill 6 turkey trays (not sure of the exact dimensions yet but it should be pretty standard). The second part of my question is about colonizing the substrate. Would I just colonize the whole bulk bag at once (with many cakes), or would I split it up into 6 separate bags and put a cake or two in each one. If just in the big bag, would I simply cut the top and seal back up after? I am under the impression that it needs to colonize in the bags for about a week before placing into the trays. From there it should take a few more days in the trays before going into the terrarium. Sound about right? I'm just trying to sort out a few uncertainties as the time is coming near!

Thanks!

Well turky trays from what I understand are HUGE. So you will need like 30 lbs - 40 lbs of pre pasturised. Jikes that seems expencive lol. I would get the dry stuff and pasturise it your self. 20 lbs dry will last you for a long long time.

I was only going to go with the pre-pasteurized because it's cheaper. Can anyone offer some help on this part of my post? "The second part of my question is about colonizing the substrate.

a good spawn ratio is 5 to 1.

so 5 parts horse poo to 1 part colonized substrate.

so your gonna need to use more cakes than you were talking about using in each pan.

check this out...

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/723303#Post723303

read through that...and it will tell you how to spawn your colonized substrate(cakes) into the horse poo...into your turky pans.

I suggest using plastic or something other than Alum pans...
mycelium will eat right through Alum.
I used to use Alum pans...and don't anymore.

Its not cheaper actually. If you get the 5lbs of unpasteurized it expands to 15lbs after you add water.
