Pan Cyan Question
    #18710941 - 08/15/13 07:20 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I'm finding the terminology at this site a bit confusing...hopefully someone can clarify.

I want to spawn WBS to a verm / horse poo / coir substrate mixture.

I know how to make spawn out of WBS. No problem. Once I have it, I know how to make the pasteurized substrate out of verm, horse poo and coir. No problem.

My problem is the term "casing layer" which is thrown around a number of different ways. When I put down a layer of substrate, I follow it with a layer of spawn, then again substrate, then again spawn and ect. Following this, the final layer should be substrate, right? Or am I supposed to put a different mixture as the final layer...

a casing layer is completely different from a substrate. just mix your spawn and substrate together and let that fully colonize. once it's all white, then you will add a casing layer which is there to provide the right climate for pinning and extra moisture during fruiting. a common casing is 50/50 peat moss/verm

No problem. sometimes you'll see people use the term casing instead of substrate and that can just get everyone confused. The two aren't interchangeable and completely different.

:whathesaid:

Plus, using the term "casing" to describe a substrate is dubbed incorrect at this point in the community. RR has commented on this several times.

This Casing Procedures link should flood you with information.
