Help with Spawn Ratio
    #7799318 - 12/25/07 08:51 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Would 4 quarts of rye spawn be sufficient for an area measuring 2' x 2'
spawned to a 2 inch layer of hpoo?

Math mistakes. Deleted and won't bother posting solution as it has already been done.

Nibin, your math is incorrect.  Good try though. :smile:

Substrate Volume = width x height x depth = 0.61 x 0.61 x 0.05 = 0.19m3



It's 0.019m^3...

Your spawn ratio is 1:5.  It would be better if it were 1:4, but it would probably work.

I was told by an ol' expert round these parts that though the more spawn the better(for quick colonizeation) but that a very small amount of spawn can colonize ALOT of Bulk substrate.

I used one crumbled cake to spawn half a pillow case full of straw and poo once. It worked.

There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon.

2' x 2' x 2" = 1152 cubic inches.

1152 / 231 = 4.98 - 5:1 is a good spawn ratio.

Two inches is not ideal. Nearer to four is what you're shooting for. But, you will be just fine.

Something isn't working with my maths. All your feet, inches, quarts and gallons confuse me, lol. I'm getting an extra decimal point and I don't know why.

24*24*2 = 1152

(1152 cubic inches)(0.017Quarts/1 cubic inch) = 19.584 Quarts total volume

19.584/5 = 3.9 quarts spawn for a 1:4 ratio

19.584/11 = 1.8 quarts spawn for a 1:10 ratio.

Anyway found my mistakes. Just should have changed the order of an operation :crazy:

Anyway, no need to post another solution, as a few have already been done.

Yet mine is the only one that clearly answers his question.

Don’t be hurt because your math sucks.

To answer his original question, yes. 4 quarts is perfect for what he wants to do, just as I showed him.

Not hurt. It's just a couple of years since I last used maths (my basic physics, chemistry and biology courses) and haven't had a reason to use it since.

Now it's all memorizing illnesses and treatments :frown:

*Ahem, you claimed his spawn ratio was 1:5. It's not; it is much closer to a 1:4 ratio which would be 3.9 quarts rye spawn.

You're right - 20% is a 1:4 ratio...

But if we're nitpicking, 2'x2'x2" is 19.95 quarts, not 19.58.

Gotcha. 20% spawn by total volume, makes a 4:1 ratio. Word.
