trying to choose a substrate in bulk mono tubs
    #21338364 - 02/27/15 01:08 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

I have now harvested two tubs. I have been using 66at
Clear tubs. One with miracle grow peat mix, gypsum,
coffee grounds, and core. The other with jiffy peat mix,
gypsum,coffee grounds, and core. Both tubs strain is koh sumai
Spawned on 2 qrts of rye, and 2 qrts of WBS. So 4 qrts of spawn
total in each tub

  The miracle grow tub yielded 5 ounces dry and had beautiful
Fruits also the spawn I used for this tub colonized within 2 weeks
From a liquid culture. The jiffy tub spawn took 3 weeks and the tub
Only yielded around 2 ounces. Also produced shorter fatter fruits that
Are a lot smaller. I'm wondering was it the substrate or the spawn
That caused the huge difference in the yields?


The liquid culture was made with a tissue culture taken
From a multi-spore inoculation containing Karo syrup and
Tap water pc,d at 15 psi I'll try to include some pics

I was hoping you guys could take a look and read over this and let me know what you think and maybe give me some pointers much appreciated.

Outreach I can't load pics some one please tell me how

Are you saying you are using miracle grow and jiffy mix as a substrate? Jiffy mix is used as a casing layer. We use vermiculite, coir, hpoo or straw as substrates. Whatever one you can find the cheapest, that's what I would use.

The miracle grow was a premixed peat moss sub
Aswell was the jiffy both used desperately
In there own tub I had read that you can
Use jiffy for both on the cultivation forum
But now I can see that your right it
Didn't work for sub that we'll I live in an
Area with a bad winters and can't get good
Sub untill spring without paying out the nose

Your images aren't working.
I have tried all different types and I just keep coming back to coir. Specifically EcoEarth 3pack bricks. Its easy, cheap, yields high, widely available, etc.
I found a place online to get 24 bricks for $38. (PM me for a link if u want it)

Have you ever tried a standard coir mono? Very pleasant in my opinion.

I really want to post these pics because this is my
First grow and I'm really proud I never even used BFR
I went straight to bulk. Not with out vigorously
researching with the TMC and the forum.
I feel as if I am an apprentice to this Community.
And I want show it my work if you would like I have
Pics in my gallery if you would like to see them
