Manure / Coir / Verm Mono tubs
    #18432330 - 06/17/13 02:54 PM (11 years, 6 months ago)

Sup guys!

I want to spawn a tub, 95qt, with verm/coir/manure. I was finally able to find manure in my area so I'm looking to test it out. I would love to get rid of the big brick of coir I bought tho, so i'm looking for a good ratio to prepare my sub. I will pasteurize it following Frank's tek.

Thanks in advance!!

if it's h-poo it's really up to you, follow the same coir recipe you would normally use and just add the manure

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

When I got my Hpoo I looked around and seemed a lot of people went with hpoo/coir/verm at 50/25/25.  I think this is something I'll go with when I'm ready to use it.  I might put about 5% earthworm casings and 1 tablespoon kelp meal though which would knock all the ingredients down a percentage point or two. 

Would seem since Hpoo is high in nutrients you would want higher hpoo than coir.  Also isn't it harder getting the moisture content right with Hpoo?  Coir and verm & earthworm might ease that up a bit.

Oh.. and gypsum... but of course!


--------------------
A bit expensive but the largest clear tote I've found.  Great if you want a large SGFC that can easily do both trays and cakes.  If you decide to go all out on a SGFC, be sure to get coarse perlite.  It keeps it cleaner and allows better FAE and humidity.

Oh, i forgot to say I'm also using gypsum.

I heard earthworn casings makes it actually hard to get the right moisture content, since it turns in mud so quick.

Gona go with 50/25/25 then. Do i just weight everything and put like 100 gr of hpoo, 50gr of verm and 50gr of coir?

The sub calculator doesn't work on mac :S

Yikes!  I'm a newb, just chiming in cause it's fun to do so :grin:
I heard earthworm is ok if used in small amounts.  I think it's done by volume. 

That sucks the substrate calculator doesn't work on a Mac.  I play with that thing all the time.

I know what coir is, but I'm wondering if there are different kinds of coir. I'm thinking of trying a mono tub with coir and I have one block of this reptile bedding I got from a pet co. I'm wondering if coir is coir?

Thanks guys and dolls!!
