doing my first martha... shopping advice please!
    #14294093 - 04/15/11 03:58 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey, so I've been growing bulk for about a year, either fruiting in monotubs or filterpatch bags using 50/50 poo and straw mix.

I just put together my first martha, using trash bags + tape on the bottom, with a hose running in Sonic Mist , aimed at the top blowing to the side..

I currently do not have access to horse shit for reasons not worth going into, but to my knowledge, I can get just as auccessful results in the Martha using a different bulk substrate. My spawn is wbs (some jars are kinda old and may have gone dormant but I hope still will work).

Anyways, I have a bunch of straw (as well as crushed oyster shell, which I'm not sure will work or if I need lime), and I've been chatting on #cultivation trying to get a proper shopping list together for my bulk substrate , as well as reading the forums.

Can anyone here recommend a recipe that has worked great for them in the past in Marthas (cubensis) ?

At this point I have the impression I will get great results mixing 1 brick of coir:2qts verm:1 handful of hydrated lime (OR OYSTER SHELL???)

I want to add straw into the mix, if this is a good idea, or at least make one tray with straw.

Is this a good recipe? What about casing it with peat ? Or rather than mixing it all up n pasteurizing, what if I just used pasteurized straw + a coir or verm casing layer.. or a bulk substrate of coir+(verm)+straw cased with peat and verm .?

I apologize for the silly questions that are all over the boards, but I only got about $40 and I would love to get the best supplies I can today, based on the recommendations of some current growers experienced with Marthas.

Thanks guys! I'll go shopping with a proper list upon some feedback please!

Coir/verm/gypsum <-- not oyster shell

After you mix your spawn with the bulk sub, you need to let it colonize first. Cover the tray with foil, poke a couple holes with a fork or something, and then wait a week. Use standard 50/50 casing
