Eye-ball it.  Use mostly coir.  Don't use more than 40% vermiculite.  I like %20 coffee grounds maximum total volume, RR says %33 max.  use up to %10 percent gypsum.  You will benefit from adding gypsum to your bulk substrate. ~Pixie~

i never use any buffering agents. but i do like doing 1:1:1:1 ratios of anything by eye.

so for example. coir/verm/hpoo/strawnet. i then supplement using supercake formula.

right now im trying 1 quart coffee to 1 quart verm with 1 small brick coir. colonized in 4 days. a side by side spawn run timing on 50/50 coir/strawnet was 1 more day than that. usually using about enough used coffee for 2 cups coffee along with pouring the coffee into my mixture ends up making the spawn run 3 days max. its a big difference in spawn run times using lower amounts of coffee for some reason. not real sure why.

I did some 10% gyp, 40% coir, 30% coffee, 20% verm.  Stargazer, PB, and TC Strain 10 qt tubs.  SG is fully colonized by day 3.  The other two are about 40% by 3 days.  We'll see...

You don't need to buffer the PH of substrates. That's primarily for casing layers, since peat needs to be buffered.

I heard the ph of coffee grounds were acidic with a pH of between 3.0 and 5.0....so has anyone noticed benefits to using calcium carb? should i not bother with it at all?

20/30/50 mix

20% Composted Cow Poo
30% Vermiculite
50% Coir

That is it, no gypsum, no lye, no lime, no coffee, nothing but those three!

I get great growth during colonization





And Great Flushes.





I never understood why so many people want to make this so complicated. It does not have to be that complicated!
