Extra Nutrients

Hello Everyone

Was wondering if anyone like to add extra nutrients to their substrates and if so what do you guys like to use. In the link below is a video where a well known mushroom grower talks a bit about his process. Its a long video but i created the link at the point where he very briefly talks about adding nutrients.

He claims that you can get a few extras pounds of mushrooms from adding the extra nutrients.

In general adding too much nutrition causes shit growth, malformed mushrooms and encourages contamination to appear sooner.

Gourmet growers supplement their substrate but use low spawn rates. It's not uncommon to add bran into sawdust substrate for example. Spawn is more expensive than supplemented substrate.
Cube growers use higher spawn to substrate ratios.

Grows made from spawn and substrate don't expend all their nutrition before becoming too old and spent to keep around.
You'd be far better off maximizing your potential with what you have before looking into additives and the like.
