What substrate would be best?
    #11730326 - 12/28/09 07:58 AM (15 years, 23 days ago)

I am getting ready for my first mono tub grow. I have chosen to use rye berries for my spawn. The rye berries are colonizing in quart jars right now. I am trying to search out what would be my best bet for a bulk substrate. I have available to me vermiculite,hpoo,jiffy mix and coco coir. What would be best? All advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Horse manure is ideal, you really don't need anything beyond it. You can mix it whatever you want, but it isn't necessary.

im doing my first mono currently and this is what i decided to go with, used a 1:2 ratio...on like day 5 i believe and its prolly around 50%-60% colonized

was super easy to make, i have heard that h-poo is the best tho...but i have no experience with it.

my usual bulk substrate recipe is 1 brick coir, 1 1/2 pints verm, 2 pints gypsum,  2 pints spent coffee grounds, and whatever other additives i have laying around (usually use like 2 pints BRF for added nutrition)

I would try and use poo and straw but neither are available locally:frown:

A balanced diet is what I would do ....

the bulk substrate I use is equal parts HPoo and coir with 10% gypsum added .... 20% vermiculite and some worm castings or whatever else you have around ....

Basically .... Horse manure and coir with vermiculite and gypsum .... you'll be happy.

Good luck.
