Seeding and Transfer Tubes

At certain points in the hatchery season, you’ll need to isolate your spools to either submerge them in spore-rich water for seeding or transfer them to a farm site. To do this, you’ll need a tube that’s big enough to fit your seed spool inside of it. It’s possible to use PVC piping to create these containers.

Seeding tubes can serve an additional purpose as a transfer vessel when delivering seed from the hatchery to the farm. In this application, we call the same piece of equipment a transfer tube.
