Per brick, I use 1 quart coffee, 1 qt verm. Recently discovered gypsum, adding that at the same ratio

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!
