Quick Question about Casing!
    #23805828 - 11/06/16 09:22 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hey Guys,


    So my 2 SPawn bags are fully colonized and I have a couple of bags of this premade Casing Mix given to me by a friend (its from a non vendor approved site or else I would put the link)

    Anyways this mix is just more substrate and not officially a casing layer and by casing layer I mean the thin layer that you place on top of the mixed/layered Fully colonized Grain/WBS and Manure or Coir based secondary substrate.. That is put their for protecting and extra hydration from my understanding..  However I am not quite sure and this is why I am asking..

    I have heard people say that just Vermiculite is fine or some people say Vermiculite and other ingridients and I was just wondering what everbodys thoughts were on this subject and what the best route to take would be!


I Also only have 2 of these 5 lb bags and am sure I am going to end up needing more than that for all of the Rye Berry jars I have finishing within the next couple of days and was hoping I could get everyones current opinions on what is the best secondary or bulk or whatever you want to call it substrate is?

  I have heard the 50/50 Verm and Coir is good, but I also have heard people mixing coffee and gypsum in with it as well but have heard mixed reviews on that as well.. I think that the Coir is going to be the route I am going to go because the Manure based ones would be a little harder to find in my area and I already have a couple bricks of the Coir in my arsenal already along with some Verm, Worm Casings, Coffee, Gypsum, and a few other little goodies! 

  So please let me know what you think is best for not just the casing layer that is placed on top of it all but what your favorite Casing or Bulk Substrate Mix that you like to use when mixing with your original substrate when making Mono or Mini tubs!

Thanks again everyone and I hope you all are having a great day and a beautiful weekend!

Just skip casing layers all together. Especially considering premade and not knowing what you're doing.

Tubs in my signature have no casing layer

Look at the "Bulk Substrate Preparation" section.

Skip shit like coffee & worm castings, totally unnecessary.
Gypsum is OK.
