Spawning Rye to Straw - Questions
    #7902639 - 01/19/08 05:29 PM (16 years, 13 days ago)

I always see Popcorn and WBS teks saying to spawn to straw, but never for rye.

My rye jars are almost colonized and I'm wondering if I should spawn it to straw. It seems very easy and apparently yields big rewards.

My question is, can I expect a huge increase in yield when spawning to straw, and if I do that, do I still case with coir/vermiculite?

Thanks in advance!

What you use for spawning material is irrelevant. You could use 100 half-pint BRF/verm jars if you really wanted to. Straw does produce a great first flush , but not much more after that in my experience. The problem is that it is also much more prone to contaminants, so make sure you use a good spawn to straw ratio that ensures quick colinization. You should case the straw, but I wouldn't use coir unless you want overlay. A 50/50 mix of peat and verm would work better.

Hmm, not quite sure what that is.

I could look it up, but for the sake of this thread, what is it? :smile:

Read up on RR's tek. I have had excellent BIG results with it.:

You should read up on pasteurizing straw. That is the most important part.
