best pH?
    #23887237 - 12/02/16 11:12 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Am I correct that the best pH is 7-7.5 for the spawn run (or at least for PF jars) and 5-5.5 for fruiting (or at least for casing)?

The only thing you really should be considering pH is casings, and those are 8.5. Everything else shouldn't need any adjustments.

I mostly agree with Mad Season.

Cube mycelium prefers a slightly acidic substrate but it is NOT necessary and counterproductive because Trichoderma likes acidic substrate, too. Thats why we raise the casings to 7.5 - 8 (I do not go over 8, but it might work as Mad Season wrote). Soil/peat casings should be adjusted while coir/verm is pretty resistant by itself.

I prefer 8.5 because trich can't germinate in anything past 8, and mycelium naturally lowers pH of anything it colonizes into. It easily withstands 8.5 as well :smile:
