Help me make and apply a casing layer!
    #21826914 - 06/19/15 06:54 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I would like to make and apply a casing layer for my mono tub grow.
It´s the grow in this thread.

I have the following material on hand:
Vermiculite
Coir
Gypsum

If needed I can also get sphagnum ( I can not get peat moss, but I think sphagnum is a lot like it)


Can I make a good casing layer out of these materials?
When would be a good time to apply it?

Any help is dearly appreciated :smile:

just case with straight verm, or coir and verm... if you are growing cubes, it shouldn't really matter if you case or not. but i cant see the page you linked anyways.

with the materials provided (excluding the sphagnum) and in my experience, the casing that you would be making will just colonize and function poorly as an actual casing; in the end it will just take longer to colonize;

but if you must, do a ratio of 30% verm to 70% coir, throw some gypsum in there (5% by volume is a good rule of thumb) and case with that; at any rate, it makes a good fruiting surface

go look for "seed starter" or jiffy mix; it's basically peat moss, verm and gypsum

in my head, I thought the EU's first three inches of topsoil was peat moss (and unexploded ordnance) thats some damn yankee ideology right there :rofldrunk: #stilldrunk
