Bulk tub grow, adding verm/coir Q's...
    #7562537 - 10/26/07 10:39 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I have a double tub set up incubating with grain from two fully colonized mycobags. I've spawned the mycobags to Black Kow manure around 1:5 ratio. It has been 4 days of incubation and I'm seeing that the moisture content is hard to keep up as is and have read that verm/coir mixed into the compost AT THE START of the bulk spawning is recommended for moisture retention and to keep the compost from getting too compacted (which I can see why). I also read that it is good to case bulk subs once 100% colonized in the FC.

At this point, I've peeled back the tape to check colonization below the surface. Between the top and below surface colonization, I'd say it's at roughly 50-60% colonized. I was considering breaking up the sub and mixing in verm/coir but not sure if I'm too far into colonization to do so without risking the grow health. Would this be too risky and/or even worth doing? It's definitely still colonizing steadily and looks like another 4 days away from being ready to start fruiting. Any ideas?
