50/50 + Question
    #1175110 - 12/28/02 09:34 AM (21 years, 3 months ago)

On the 50/50 + I could not find or buy and crushed oyster shell, but I found the rest of the materials. Would it be ok to use everything but the oyster shell?
I think it will be ok..... just looking for opions.

It will be alright, but the oyster shell gives the shrooms a solid fruiting foundation, and is helps buffer the pH in the long run. Did you go to feed stores?

Have you tried your local pet shop?

Answer is yes as OS is only used to give a more firm env for your fruits. Although I have heard that ppl think you use it in replacement for a PH buffer (which is untrue as far as I know)

Personnly I think the casing PH is more important than stuff like OS.

I have gone to all the pet stores and all the have is Bird Grit which has gravel, oyster shells and sand. Im planning on casing 3 cakes that never pinned.

Try feed stores, they're different than pet stores. Look them up in your phone book.

50/50 = 1/2 vermiculite and 1/2 peat moss? If so, how much OS should i put in there?

If you are using 50/50 Peat and Verm you need to add Lime.

You can use 60/40 Verm and Coco Coir without adding anything.

I suggest trying a few more Pet Stores.
Feed stores do have Oyster shell....at least around here they do.

Roadkill with the 60/40 after nuking it how wet should it feel? Do you think a 4 inch casing would be too thick?

should just be able to squeeze a few drops of water out of a handfull.

4 inches is way too much!
Use a 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch of casing for up to 4 or 5 inches of subtrate.
Pretty good rule of thumb...1/4" of casing material per inch of substrate.

Feed stores? Well, just curious, what kind of animals eat oyster shell? Or is it like a ingrediant to make your own feed? Just in case some bullshittin is neccesary when I go to the farm store, I dont look like a farmer. :tongue:
