Good casing layer?
    #22009027 - 07/28/15 11:14 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi all, This is my current grow,
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21802626/fpart/2/vc/1#21802626

I was wondering what I should use as a casing layer next time around? anyone have a good tek?
No garbage bag liner, just tape around the sides :P

Refer to the link to see what teks I used (I didnt use any gypsum, too difficult to find)

A 50/50 mix of peat moss and vermiculite with a teaspoon or so of hydrated lime (pH should be 7-8) is the standard casing recipe for most people. However, you can get a big of jiffy seed starter mix at the local home depot and it has all the same ingredients.

50/50+ or jiffy mix are best. Pure verm works too.

i recommend common sense and figuring it out.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.

Or just use the same coir/verm you just mixed up and put it on top when inducing fruiting :shrug:

Tape around the sides is a myth, that's around the same time we believed that taking a flash camera pic on a colonizing tub would cause it to pin. Light is not a primary pinning trigger, use a liner next time. I'm sure you have side pins out the whazoo right now.

Verm works too, I always need verm anyway so buying a few extra bags is no problem.
