Cultivation tools
Calculators for home growers
Plan rather than guess. Two interactive tools for the cultivation species in our strain library — one converts a target yield into substrate and spawn requirements, the other converts an inoculation date into a stage calendar. Built on real biological- efficiency ranges and cycle data, not generic estimates.
Substrate calculator
Pick a species + target fresh yield. Get dry-substrate mass, hydrated weight, component breakdown for the chosen recipe, spawn requirement, and bag count. Built on real biological-efficiency ranges from cultivation literature.
Best for
- Planning a single home-grow cycle
- Estimating spawn purchase
- Sizing a fruiting chamber
- Comparing master's mix vs supplemented hardwood for a target species

Cultivation timeline
Pick a species + an inoculation date. Get a stage-by-stage calendar — spawn run, bulk transfer, colonization, pinning, first flush, second flush, exhaustion. Plan your tools, harvest prep, and follow-up cycles around real cycle timing.
Best for
- Knowing when fruiting chamber needs to be ready
- Planning multiple staggered cycles
- Estimating when you'll need spawn for the next run
- Avoiding the 'pins surprise me' problem

On the roadmap
- Cycle ROI calculator — supply costs in, expected yield + retail-market value out.
- Strain comparison — pick 2-3 strains side by side, see growth requirements + flavor + yield ranges.
- Grow log — track your own cycles over time; compare your actuals to the published BE ranges.
- Pasteurization timer — substrate-prep timer with proper hold times for your method.
