Substrate Question
#19293867 - 12/18/13 03:42 PM (10 years, 2 months ago) |

Hello! I'm starting my first grow in two weeks and I was trying to do some research about substrates and couldn't really find a tek that matched what I was thinking. I want to use a gypsum/hpoo/coir/verm substrate in a 10 gallon mono-tub. The catch is that I don't want to base it on a tek and just wing the ratios, I also want to use only like 15-20% hpoo so the smell of pasteurization isn't an issue in my house. (is it?) If i were to wing it, I would use 40% verm 40% coir and 20% hpoo...is this good?
I also had another question, do smaller mono-tubs not need to be fanned and misted regularly just like the larger 15 gallon+ mono-tubs? Is this only dependent on the depth of the substrate?

The 50/50 tek works best, I use verm + peat moss + gysum for best results buddy. When I'm not tripping face I can give the exact measurements

rely on other peoples experience(their mistakes, failures, and knowledge) before you have your own.
Based on your OP you need to do 2 weeks of reading.
Start with the let's grow mushroom videos. There's grain spawn preparation, pasteurization, sterile tek, etc that you will need and it's all covered.
If you're into monotubs search up frankhorrigan

My point is that I don't want to "wing" it, but I'm trying to do a 50/50 coir/verm substrate that somehow includes horse poo. Is this a thing?
2) Are small mono tubs fundamentally the same as big mono tubs (in respect to misting and fanning?)
Thank you all for your responses

take a look at these TEKS read through the relevant ones they'll answer all your questions
There's all sorts of different size monotubs out there. Search for the size you have and see what some people have done. For the most part you can get a mini mono to work just like a regular sized one but you might want to leave out the polyfil on the top holes depending on your construction.

I've read hella of these teks already, ill just stick to a simple formula until i have the resources to get creative. I bet you 40% verm 40% coir and 20% hpoo would work Thanks y'all.

what you are planning to do is fine. mono tubs are simple and the mixture you described in your original post will work. just make sure you layer your substrate with your spawn and good luck.

I'm trying to give you a simple formula. If you did read hella teks you would have known a ratio already. I gave you the most up to date teks in the link. It sounds like you are getting creative without the resources
