Gypsum, WBS, Coffee Questions
    #18824780 - 09/10/13 07:00 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I know I know I know, that these questions have been answered before but I just want to get an OK on my specific products. I want to know if My gypsum I plan to use is OK, my WBS, and The benefits of using coffee (for substrate).

First: My WBS: It is from a local feed store and 50 pounds, I just want to make sure it is the right kind.



Second: My Gypsum: Is it the right kind?:

Option 1: (Preferable?)
Second Option

Third: What does coffee actually do to WBS jars? I really have never been able to find a straight answer.

Thank you,
Roller

Your WBS is fine, so is your gypsum. Don't use coffee it is a royal pain, even if you dry it before hand. I have not seen any proven results that adding coffee to your substrate affects the overall yield or potency. The coffee though if you do use it anyway is for a higher Nitrogen content I believe ( could be wrong have not used it in awhile), also using coffee makes your sub acidic so you would have to add hydrated lime to balance out the PH. Good luck homeslice

Check in the brick section at Home Depot for gypsum. I got a 40# bag for 4 bucks!

Ditto.
Spent Coffee increases nitrogen content without messing with PH.  It's also contam heaven and unless you run a squeaky clean ship its perceived increase isn't worth the contam battle and ultimately lost flushes.

I've been reading too :crazy2:, on soaking in coffee...which lower's pH for fast colonization??

I've learned by reading not to use lime, that you'd squeeze, w/ spent coffee :p
