WBS vs. PF & 50/50 vs. 60/40?
    #10344890 - 05/15/09 05:34 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

I have plenty of Verm, a brick of coir, more brown rice than I know what to do with. Tons of perlite and incubator and an automated FC, A pressure cooker (going to buy a much larger one when that tax money comes in lol) So I have the materials, I just need a little guidance from the pros:tongue:

I've pretty much mastered the PF dunk and roll and I'm tired of all the stupid, messy perlite. I've been thinking about moving to WBS (Was Going To Follow This) because it seems a little easier, a little less messy and a little more fun.

Just a couple questions: I've scoured the site for the last few hours looking at teks and posts, so I know there is some debate but here goes nothing...

With my casing should I use 60verm/40coir or should I use 50verm/50peat? for my casing layer. Why?

Should I have a layer of un-sterilized wet verm on the bottom of the casing? Why?

*Dumb Question* But I'll see higher yields with a WBS casing than a PF casing, correct? Just wanna make sure I'm not wasting my time.

I just HATE perlite:mad2: So messy...

Thanks for all the help =)

From what I've read, 50/50 would be better as coir has nutrients and you don't want that in a casing layer.

If you're simply casing PF or WBS, and not spawning to bulk, I don't see your yields being too different but I don't know for sure wait for someone else to chime in.

I started to look into bulk as well, but I can't really find poo around my house...

Back to reading teks :confused:

uncased monotubs rule. try that.
perfect pinsets all the time for me. which is strange.


follow largedose's coir tek and use an 18 gallon tub lined with any plastic. cut two 2-3 inch holes 4-5 inches from the bottom on each side.  then two more on each side like an inch from the top.
