Casing cubes with coir/verm/wood chips?
    #13728189 - 01/04/11 07:37 AM (13 years, 2 months ago)

I was wondering what you all thought about casing using a let's say 40/40/20 coir/verm/fir wood chips casing layer? Do you think the wood chips would provide any benefit?

In my opinion you should not use any nutritive element in your casing layer. They tend to contaminate more than plain 50/50+ casing mixture.

What strain are you trying to grow?  Certain strains need wood (sawdust, wood chips, news paper, etc) in order to grow, while others need grains (brown rice flour, rye, wheat, popcorn, etc).  Determining the proper substrates and casings all depends on the strain you are trying to grow as well as the tek you are using.

This is incorrect, there is little difference between cubensis strains, they all grow in the same substrate and parameters.

Different active species are wood lovers but not psilocybes cubensis. They might/will colonize a wood chip but they won't grow out of it. (as far as I know)

You didn't say what species, so nobody can answer.

you can also create woodlovers spawn on grain. but nonetheless they will need a woody substrate to fruit, thats right.

some people use coir in there casing layers and are happy with it.
but in general no nutrients.

i think if properly pasteurized you wont have contamination problems with a coir/verm mix.

Oops, didn't notice that. 

Keep wood well away from cubensis.  They won't use it, but it's the favorite food for trichoderma.  If you have coir and verm, simply pasteurize it and mix your spawn in.  Don't case.

the thing is OP...casing soil is supposed to be non nutritious....i would suggest getting some jiffy seed starter mix from ANY CONVENIENCE STORE LIKE WALMART!! hell type casing in the SE and you will quickly read that it should not have nutrient...

i say jiffy mix because it is premade 50/50+ all you gotta do is pasturize and go! I hope that you have at least read a lil bit before you do it... when you read you find stuff out like... cubes dont require a caseing layer, wax paper works great as a psudo caseing and that jiffy mix is pre made 50/50+...im just sayen
