How much Gypsum is too much?
    #20622602 - 09/26/14 06:04 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Can Shrooms overdose on Gypsum? How much is too much?


--------------------
“A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself.” John Muir

For 8 quarts worth of grain I usually add a tablespoon or so to my soak water. Don't really see the point in adding a ton of it.

Overdose,  No.  But you can ruin a substrate by adding too much.  Most people that have added too much claim the substrate turns in to a solid brick as if the gypsum turned into plaster.  5% is good and over 10% is too much even though I have used up to 15% with out any problem but there is NO benefit going over 5%.
