Raising pH lvl for brf cakes question!
    #14357745 - 04/26/11 09:10 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

ok i know this is vague but i have this ph raising powder for a hydroponics system. it doesn't list it's ingredients but it DOES say safe for organic use.  :stirthepot:


its a slight bluish powder which probably doesn't mean much.

i can post a picture but it just looks like blue suger... lol


anyone think i should give it a go? and what ph lvl is best?

EDIT: didnt even ask my question, smoke too much :jah:

does organic mean it wont hurt you? or just meaning that its natural?

Try using 50/50 water/fresh brewed coffee to hydrate your BRF/verm, and even a pinch of gypsum. My cakes really take off when I use half coffee, they can contam before the third flush with coffee easier though I think. Not sure, haven't done enough research to see. I should have made half my cakes without coffee this time, maybe next time. The fact that I am nocing them with LCs could be one reason they colonize so fast too though.

Organic means that it was grown with natural fertilizers, no chemical fertilizers or hormones.

gypsum has no ph buffering capability.

We often need to lower the pH of our cakes or other substrates, but we rarely need to raise them.  Mushrooms like a pH of 5 to 6.  The only thing we raise the pH on is casing layers, but that's what lime is for.  I also suspect what the OP has is hydrated lime with a fancy name so it can cost more at the hydro store.

:whathesaid:

If you want to mess with the PH of your cake you should make some rough ground BRF from long grain brown rice, add a pinch of gypsum per 1/2 pint cake to the dry mix and use some fresh brewed coffee/water 50/50 to hydrate it, try at least one batch so you can measure the coffee. Or just add a very small amount of diluted coffee/gypsum to half your cakes, if you haven't already.

Use a GLC to Noc your cakes.:thumbup::thumbdown::shrug:

RR,you may have a answer to my question, I can't seem to find a straight response. If I was to mix a bit of hydrated lime in with the dry verm when I roll my cakes, what effect would it have? I've read lime signals the mycelium to start fruiting. Any truth to this?
