Idea on a mixed sub for my current grow. Thoughts?
    #22505552 - 11/10/15 03:02 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

My jars have begun reaching 100%, and I'm starting to rack my brain on a bulk sub. I've got a bunch of stuff around the house, so I'm thinking of a " let's see what the hell happens" sub.

1/2qt each of straw, brf, and desamanthus root bark, all ground really fine. Then added to a 25/25/25/25 mix of cow poo, hpoo, coir, and verm with a handful if gypsum for a total of 12qts. Finally, spawning with 12 pf cakes.

Basically, just throwing in a little of everything I have. What you guys think?

Why not follow a proper proven tek for your first few grows? That way you'll have a good chance of success :thumbup:

I just got a bunch of different shit running through my head. My original plan was hpoo/coir/verm at 50/25/25 with a handful of gypsum. That worked well for my first grow.

Then, I thought, I've got some cow poo too, may as well throw some in. Well, with my overactive brain, I started thinking about other stuff I have to throw in.

However, that's why I'm on here: to ask for experienced insight to my ideas.

brf isnt a substrate, it needs to be sterilized and sterilized media/anything cant be spawned to in open air.
also anything wood is a trich magnet, leave the bark out.

anything besides coir,verm,gypsum needs proper pasteurization but I guess you already knew that.

goodluck!

Ok, i thought I may be avle to just pasteurize the brf along with the rest of the sub, and I didn't know that about the bark.

A slow cooker on the keep warm setting gives me a lot of comfort when pasteurizing. Start the timer when internal temps reach 140°, and it never exceeds 155°.

Ok, so probably back to my cow poo/hpoo/coir/verm at an all around 25% with some gypsum is my best bet huh? Maybe grind a qt of straw powder to mix in.

PC is coming at tax time at the latest, if I cant afford one before. I want to get into agar and grains, so I'll definitely need one.

The desmanthus root I'll save for the naptha and iso.
