additives (dolomite lime, epsom salt)
    #23592595 - 08/30/16 07:41 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hi all,
I heard many thing about additives especially about gypsum and unfortunately it is not easy to come by and honestly I haven't yet :laugh:
Though I have dolomite lime and Epsom salt. If I mixed them it become gypsum with Mg :smile:)) Does it help ??

I also want to understand which elements used as fertilizer or are we using gypsum just for buffering?

Last question, does adding gypsum to casing layer helps?

I know there are many threads about this subject but reading them just make me confused :frown:

Dolomite lime is the wrong kind of lime. And you dont need lime at all anyway unless you're cold pasteurizing straw for oysters.

Salt has no place in mycology, epsom or table

Gypsum doesn't really buffer at all. It's a nutrient.

What about a bit of chalk as substitute for gypsum in acid substrate (peat moss, hpoo, etc) ? The pKa is 9.0 for calcium carbonate, instead of 7.3 for calcium sulfate dihydrate from gypsum.

Peat moss shouldn't be a substrate ingredient if you're growing cubensis.

You're over thinking this shit. grow shrooms first then maybe care about chemistry later.
