My apologies, reading the thread by the time I decided to type up my question I had gotten mixed up about who posted what.

I had thought the following post was yours for some reason.
I guess it's ttching I was asking!
Or anyone who has done it.

But I was definitely referring to your great-looking grows when I typed that.

I'm using potting soil & my myc seems to love it. I bought this big bag of organic stuff from the depot for like $6 and it's full of composted nutrients the myc may be able to use. I prep it via Violet's casing prep tek: First I sift out the sticks & chucks through a fine mesh strainer & it comes out like espresso ground coffee.



I hydrate it past field capacity & microwave out the extra moisture. This is done 2x, 18-24 hours apart & the result is fluffy & well hydrated & any gnat eggs & mold spores which may have been riding along in the mix are dead.

This is 72 hours from spawning, 1:1, RGS & the prepped potting soil, pseudocased at spawning:


Then at eight days (last night):


IMO, potting soil is probably not the right choice for most, but it definitely works well.







Im glad the thread caught your attention. I didnt think you were still around. Great to hear from ya, Thanks for stopping by

Hi OP, good looking grows!

A small question, how might you describe your experience with microwaving your casing etc?
Thanks in advance!




I'm a big fan. Using a low power setting and short intervals it's relatively easy to get the moisture content just right. The texture on the finished product is really nice and it does well both as a casing & as substrate. I do recommend using a paper towel underneath & a gallon freezer bag over the top of the container during the microwave run as they can boil over suddenly sometimes.

U microwave black kow? And use it as a casing?

And op stated that he doesn't prep the black kow at all. Just uses it straight out of the bag.

Well heres the latest from the coop,
My shitty spawn caught up with me, lol

But when one dies, one is birthed, Think im going back to my b+ masters, ive been trying to isolate big fruits, all my isolates turn out like my last few tubs. Even my clones havent produced big ones yet. Im excited i have five new varieties on agar, now i can isolate and document shit the right way.

First one was 7pts wet wbs, I had like twenty jars that were overhydrated you could say,lol. They colonized but a few were uncolonized in the middle. So i spawned them anyway. That tub had mean green growing. I dont keep em, I just go bury them outside. I prepped like 60-70 jars a couple weeks ago, and like twenty of them turned out wet, and i think ive chucked a handful too. Lessons learned, one thing, I was filling my jars too full wich is no bueno! But i think i have a wbs tek that works for me now! And I cant find bk locally at any store, I might have to order it. See what happens.

Look for the brand I used. Home Depot or lowes should have it. "Bovung" dehydrated manure + humus. It looks and feels the same as black kow. Or just give in and go get some coir.

And yea, if ur spawns got that much bacteria it won't colonize. Worth a try tho lol. But yea, fill them less, and even under cook them a little. I undercook my wbs and load it still a little damp. After the pc it's perfect tho.

Haha, i thought the same thing, a tek. Brf to black kow, its probably is as easy as it gets. To me the biggest advantage of bk is that if you want to spawn something you can. I dont have a flow of spawn, i do shit when i can, so bk gives me the freedom to spawn a little, alot, dont matter cause its all ready to go! To me thats the best part of it. Im going back to coir for a bit, i got 5 bricks to burn threw. Im trying some other manure brands, but first two ive tried are junk i think. Spawned 4qts wbs to my last bk today, unmoded 30ish qt tub. Nice CLEAN spawn,lol.

Yeah, it’s cheap, straightforward and produces nice consistent results.  Write it up...this thread is your rough draft!

I'm with Mycolorado for sure..!  BK is a solid approach to substrate because all you need to do is dump it out of a bag into a tub and voila!

Im sooooo pissed, I cant get no more bk, apparently i live in an area where, lowes,hd,and tv, and ace dont carry it locally. So the wally world by me gets a stock in summer and thats it. I love the midwest, but you fuckers in the south, Im jealous, but you guys can have the heat, I love 4 seasons. Anyhow, my threads dead till spring. Guess its back to coir, ugghh,lol, so.hard.to.prepare! Jk, but imhno so far bk is the best substrate there is.
