gypsum question
    #18746931 - 08/23/13 11:44 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So, in RR videos he puts gypsum in the WBS while they are simmering/boiling and in coir teks people put gypsum in the substrate as well. Do you really add gypsum at both steps? or do you just do one or the other?

Gypsum helps keep grains from clumping. It is also a source of nutrition and a pH buffer which is good for substrates.

So it has purposes in both regards.

You can use gypsum in a lot of ways.

so you DO add gypsum to the grains as well as the coir/verm mix?

:awesomenod: :thumbup:

Sorry, I was unclear. The pH buffer and nutrients are more beneficial for the substrate than the grains.

Good to know! This can be really frustrating when you're trying to break up grain jars in a SAB to get the agar wedge close to the glass
