What type of peat for casing layer?
    #26505646 - 02/26/20 10:44 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hey guys, I'm going for my first PE grow and many tcs recommend a consolidation period and when 80-100% colonized, apply a casing layer of 50/50 (peat/vermiculite). I need some help choosing the right peat. A hydroponics store in my area is selling a range of different peat.

The most basic version they carry is white peat? I quote the description:

"Peat for self-mixing of soilless or soil substrates or for use in combination with fertilization by the grower. White peat with balanced pH (5,5-6,5) without fertilization. Contains trace elements and wetting agent for better watering. "

Will this do? Are 'wetting agents' and trace elements something standard? White vs black peat? :shrug: Thanks for any help. Cheers

I use Sunshine (brand) spagnum peat moss. You can pick them up at home depot for pretty cheap. I believe I read once that Stamets recommended in his book " Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms"

I'm sure anything similar would work. Check to make sure there are no fungicides sprayed on it though.

Thanks for the reply. I live in Europe, so no home depot.. Anyone got any suggestions?
