QA Optimal Manure Substrate + (Hydrated Lime?)
    #23810215 - 11/07/16 04:45 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Greetings! A first-time grower here I have 12 Galindoi ATL #7's at 28 days post-syringe inoculation.

See my jars: http://imgur.com/a/VOqTc
A few nice stones there, eh:crazy2:

I have three lasagna pans of 7' depth which perfectly fill my soon-to-be monotub.

These jars are on rye grains (easily found at most Whole Foods, fyi) so I plan to case them. Monotub prep is planned for 8 days from today.

Between the substrate and casing, the materials I have are: deodorized manure, earthworm castings, Nature's Care organic potting mix (sphagnum peat moss, coir, yucca, and a bit of nitrogen and phosphate), and verm.

I plan to purchase gypsum and hydrated lime.

I plan to mix all these at roughly half manure:others with sterilization in PC'd oven bags.

Then mix it with the myc. grains and case it with a small layer of the same mix above except without the manure.

Would you agree these ingredients will serve well? Also, is hydrated lime a necessity if using manure?
Will oven bags most likely melt if they're touching the side of the PC?

Thanks

hyrdated lime is a big no-no.  it raises pH if you add enough, which will inhibit the mycelium growth.

I've bought some calcium carbonate, thanks.

If I were to add spent coffee grounds to my substrate, and oven-bag it at a squeeze-test water level and pasteurize, would it be sterile enough?
By pasteurizing I'm referring to submerging the bags in hot water to an internal temperature of 135F for 90 minutes.

I have quite a bit of substrate.

Thanks for the heads up on horticulture lime.
