Growing on manure (Question)
    #14001347 - 02/21/11 01:15 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

First, it's kinda hard for me to find hpoo near my location. Recently, I found this at my hardware store and I was wondering if I could use it the same way I would use hpoo. I have no idea if it'll work because it says "composted cattle manure (0.5/0.5/0.5)" and I've never encountered/worked with that kind of manure before. They have cattle, sheep and steer manure.

use coir.. lol.. no need for poo.. especially if you cannot find it.. coir will give you plenty of great results at a cheap price.. i stopped using doodoo after discovering coir..

give it a shot.. you can find coir at almost every pet store in a "brick" form.. but truth be told, you can get coir for like, half price at most hydro shops in the same form..

This stuff is composted somehow.
This can get muddy if you try to get it to field capacity and it smells like ... guess what?! :cuteshit:
Maybe you have some more success with it.
Better use coir.

Yea I also saw this at the same time. A 9lb brick of coir for $5.99, I'll definitely give it a try.

Should I use 50/50 coir verm with a pinch of gypsum or only coir?

fur cheesy.. lol

i think when i got it at the pet store, it was like 6 bucks for 1 brick, which expands to 9 times its size or something like that.. its alot..

but the hydro shop had it for 2.99 per brick, with a 3 pack for 6 or 7 bucks..

use some verm in it.. dry.. only add 1 gallon of water when preparing, add it to the verm brick and a 3 or 4 cups of dry verm.. it will help stop the substrate from compacting on itself, which helps mycelium growth, and also the dry verm will soak up any extra moisture, holding it until the coir needs it.. i  used straight coir hella times, and its good, but the verm just makes everything a lil better..

no.. NEVER case it straight coir.. its a substrate, not a casing.. and really, in my opinion, should never be used in a casing layer at all.. same goes for peat.. it goes against the what a casing layer is and does..

but, you can just use 5050.. straight verm works very well, and you will probably never get trich from it.. lol.. unless you substrate had it.. whatever works.. no need to change the casing layer..

i have used 5050 and straight verm for crumbled cakes, grain, bulk, etc.. they both accomplish the job of a casing layer.. its just one is a true casing layer.. the other is not..

coir/peat used in casing layers just change the color of the casing, telling you that it needs to be misted.. plus, i see 5050 casings overlay like a son of a bitch if you dont pay attention.. straight verm doesnt really overlay

I was talking about the substrate not the casing layer... I think you misread/misunderstood.... but thanks for the infos

ah.. well you said 5050, and thats the ratio for casing.. lol.. my bad

i would say 80% coir and 20% verm.. the gypsum is optional.. wont hurt though.. use a good amount of spawn to mix with the sub, as well... this will give you a faster spawn run, leaving less window of chance for contams..

The verm @20% is to prevent the coir from compressing on itself and also to give the substrate a fluffy compacity, allowing the mycelium to colonize faster and more easily. Gypsum helps regulating the pH and is used to prevent the substrate from "sticking" together. Right?

giggity..

although, again, gypsum is optional.. if you have it, use it.. i just dont go out of my way to get it..

but even then, with coir a verm mixture, you will still be fine..

Verm and gypsum also spend some minerals/nutrition's, this is improtent for a good yield.

sweeeet.. i didnt think anyone even looked at that shit.. im going to do a 2.0 version here pretty soon.. some updates..

make sure you strain the SHIT out of the WBS.. i actually add a bit of dry verm into the jars with the wbs before PCing, to help as a buffer for moisture.. bunch of stuff.. ill post it here whenever i get around to writing the damn thing.. lol
