All about Hpoo...

Hello, i am going to mix spawn WBS to Hpoo. Does a 1:4 ratio (WBS:Hpoo) sound right? and at that rate how fast would that colonize at abou 83 degrees? Can i mix verm with the Hpoo before it pasturize at a 1:5 ratio (verm:Hpoo)? And last, once all the Hpoo is colonized i'll be useing 3 inches for the substrate in a mono tub. is that enough, or will going thicker just waste some of it? i have the resources to make 8 inches or so. but i what to fit in the pocket where i'll get the biggest shrooms without wasting time and resources. big thanx for any replies.

that all sounds good man, 1:4 ratio is the norm (1 spawn to 4 hpoo) s
should be 100% in about 1 week.
yes you can mix verm into your hpoo before pasturizing. i always do, but i never measure it.. i just dump it in and mix it up till i think it looks good. and ive never had any problems.
i wouldnt go over 4" personaly but max of 6" unless your doing like a comercial size grow. and dont go over 3/8" on the casing layer, thats just the way i do mine. always had problems when i whent thicker than 3/8".
i personaly like to use more spawn just to speed up the process. but after you spawn your wbs to hpoo i would cover it and incubate for 1 week before you even think of peeking in on it. you cant over colonize it or anything bad like that if it would happen to finish up earlier. some ppl like to put like a 1/2" layer of straight poo on top and when thats 100% they know the rest is.. but some people say it increases your chances of contaims.
hope this helps ya out some, sounds like youve been reading. if so then youll be ok.
l8r, will

I am not lost.. i am going there looking for it.. and when i get there and find it, i will know what it is.. "The way to stop violence is not to go out and let your head be beaten in but to say, you want to take my life risk yours!" "are you sure u want to eat all them shrooms??" "yes i want to hear what my mind has to say..." remember opions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

Wow, thanks man. you even answered a question i was going to ask later, about the casing. a lot of ppl say 1:4 ratio for the casing. That would mean 3/4 inch to 3 inches substrate. and that sounds a little high. i was thinking of 3/8 myself too. yea i don't want to peek while the Hpoo is colonizing. i'm afraid i'll let to much air in, because i'll be spawning right in the mono tub where there will be no holes, but a 8x16x12 area of empty space on top of the covered spawn which might make it start knotting to soon if i even open the lid. actually there will be holes, but they will be taped shut until it's cased and the ready for fruiting. thanx again.
