Honestly, I attend an agricultural school and I have asked so many people where I can buy large amounts of oats or rye, as I prefer larger grains ( we're so similar :laugh2: ) Our feeding mills just use pelleted form of feed for horses and cows. We are not large enough to have pastures and all that so I think the farmer's have no need for them. I get 1kg of rye for 1euro online + shipping, so far, that's the best I can find but I'll have a look around more and see what I can get. Maybe I'll give WBS a try but it puts me off

And dude... you and me have so many things in common being Europeans. We should definitely share links :super:




Sure, I always try to find stuff locally if I can. Most times if it is used for something else (like grains for livestock, alcohol for labs etc) I can get it for a better price locally. But feel free to :pm: me if you are looking for a good deal on something, I might know some companies for certain stuff.

Have you actually tried to look up warehouses/stores that sell grains to people who keep horses as pets? I live on a 300sq km island, doesn't get "smaller" than that. Oats are still a 5 minute drive from my apartment. The best grain would also be the one with the best price, as well as one you can get used to using. 1euro per 1kg is very expensive when it comes to grains, you should at least experiment with small bags of WBS bought by the kilo from pet stores, regardless of how much better you think rye/oats are. Once you nail down the prep, you can go ahead and use it exclusively. If you don't, then at least you can say you tried. I'm still quite confident you can find them locally though, horses are a popular animal in any country or locality.

Agricultural schools will not know where to buy things for horses if there is no one who owns them. I thought there wasn't a single grain available except for what I was buying in health stores. Until, of course, I asked someone who actually keeps horses.

PS. There are no pastures over here either, people keep their horses in garages turned into stables and ride them in the streets. While I agree that people who grow livestock for meat will be more inclined to feed that animal a shitty product, a pet owner will want the best for his favourite animal.

So far I use bulk websites like aliexpress for stuff like spawn bags, petri dishes...etc I will definitely take you up on that offer when I am in need, thank you very much that is very kind :shineon:

I try to get things locally as well, it's much better and less hassling. Alcohol is the easiest and cheapest shit to buy locally, along with gloves and facemasks. I know the grain is expensive for it's amount but I'm very stubborn when it comes to grain and absolutely love rye. I've worked with oats, infact if I get dehulled oats from somewhere I would switch to that. I'll take your advice on WBS, got my last 10kg of grain, will use that and run a couple of experiments with WBS, see how that plays out.

People here are religious about their horses, so somewhere there is my golden goose who sells grains, as you pointed out, probably I haven't looked hard enough. My school is full of people who own horses as pets, hell even pigs and cows, they weren't helpful when I asked and seemed confused, they didn't know what I was talking about. I'll continue asking a couple of more people with horses and this time just ask about grain warehouses. Much like you I used to buy from Healthfood stores too lol then I found that austrian company and it was the best. At a healthfood stores I was getting 500g for 1.75, which was ridiculous.

If my suspicions are correct on where you're from, you have to point me to these warehouses. :super:

Well, they aren't really warehouses, they don't need to be since the country is so small. They mostly sell the stuff from big garages. We get black & oats and cracked & whole corn, which isn't a vast variety but oats are pretty much king IMO. I could work with whole corn as well but oats is superior. Rye is very similiar to oats, they can be prepped in the same ways. They also sell hay and straw, with the straw being a great additive to bulk substrates due to it's ridiculously cheap price and the amount of water it's able to hold.

Well if they are as attentive as you say they are, they surely have some kind of whole hulled grains. You are better off asking the person who actually buys their food, if these are the horse owner's kids that you are talking to, all they care about is patting it on the head and riding it :lol:

I think you should run the WBS experiments while you still have your favourite grain on hand, that way you are still growing with your normal routine, you are just playing with something else at the same time.

I've found an awesome company for jars and pp5s. I haven't used a petri dish in like a month. Petris are the best really, but it's nice to have something reusable. This company is also the cheapest source of glass quart jars I have found, by far. Their PP5 selection goes from petri-dish sized up to 2 quarts. I have used their 1quart pp5s, takes some getting used to but they are good considering how cheap they are.

Or throw a pot outside if you have a terrace or an internal yard without the neighbors having a view. I will warn you though, when I was throwing spent tubs in pots filled with compost, I quickly ended up with a really bad gnat infestation. Didn't really get rid of them until I threw all the compost away. I bought some gnatrol now so I might give it a try again.

You could find a secluded place outside that has some good soil and bury them there. That's basically step one in woodlover growing 101.

So you mean.. every avatar I see that's just a single color square, is actually supposed to be an actual image?  Well fuck... that's thousands of avatars I never saw.

Looks like it's a single pixel when I view the image fullsize.  So the first step would be.. uploading an image that shows as more than one pixel..

This one?



Matches the color of the pixel.  Maybe just open it in an image editor and reduce the size to around 200x200, then it should let you select how much you want to crop into a square.
