Straw is a pretty cool thing to add to a bulk sub or even to use as a sub. Cheap as hell too, I get a 50# bale for $5.

I've never really used popcorn past a little experimentation so I cant really speak for it. I hear some people say it makes fine spawn and others say its a poor choice.

I wouldn't use peat in a bulk substrate, as far as I know its only u sefull as a casing and you need to add a little lime to it, and pasturize it.

If you cant get coir but can get straw, you can prep the straw like I showed and do the whole sub as straw, and put a peat casing layer on top :thumbup:

100% straw is great, I just add it to coir to stretch it

I prepped sub for another 5 tubs today, decided to up the straw content so I did 2.5 5gal buckets of chopped straw into my coir over the 1 bucket

:thumbup:

U guys should be straw motivational speakers! Be like the Tony Robbins of straw tek lol! Got me pumped over here!! However :frown:, just got back from the store and no coir. Got some 3 mil plastic and other little things. Funds are bit short now right this minute to order a brick or 2 online but it is not expensive and will do so soon! I think I'll just do a lil mini tub for the experience..just dip my toes in a bit haha! Go with straw/verm and use my popcorn spawn at least this once and see what I think. then hopefully just enough verm left on hand to use as simple casing. Even if absolutely nothing happens, does this at least sound like busy work with at least 2% chance of learning something useful??:smile: Thanks again yall keep the motivational shit comin!!

Haha

If you can get peat, verm and hydrated lime you can just do straight straw without coir and put a casing layer on top made of peat

ball is a rollin mushpunx! got my 5 gal bucket of straw soaking w/soap. popcorn is bout ready and got enough verm to make use of.
Think it's ok to use some stubborn pf cakes I have that are fully colonized but just won't fruit in my spawn? (think my temp and humidity are not optimal is why but ??)

Do whatever you like man! Just pasturize ur straw proper and use very clean spawn
If you use straight straw in ur tubs yea use a casing
well pseudo casing, I like to put a coir/verm layer on top of the straw at the time I spawn it.
Dunno if you call that a proper casing.

I like to do my coir and straw seperate and mix together 50/50, with a thin top layer of coir/verm
its jusr preference, I love straight straw tubs too tho!
