Masters Mix Hydration ?
    #27324381 - 05/26/21 09:29 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

I made bags of 2 lbs and masters mix (50 HWFP/50 Soy hulls) and added 3 lbs of boiling water. Then sterilized in PC. But I notice even after the sterilization some pellets didn't dissolve. Is this a problem

Not a problem. Once you mix in the spawn and shake it all up it will distribute the water and the pellet should break up.

I usually Hydrate the pellets in a bin, mix them up, and them bag them. I've seen people hydrated directly in the bags and be fine though.

I've done both and I prefer to mix it before bagging. Makes sure I get even amounts and can test the sub to make sure I got everything right.

But if I mix it outside the bag don't I run contamination risks?

No because you then sterilize it.

Yeah you'll sterilize the bags after anyways. I hydrate my pellets in the bag. I just weigh out my dry ingredients into each bag, measure out the right amount of water and boil it in my kettle, then pour it into the bag. I let them sit for a while and then roll the top over and sterilize.

Why boil the water? PC will sterilize everything.

Prob just to break the pellets easier. I dont use boiling but I hydrate with hot tap water bc it greatly helps the pellets expand and bust up :smile: .

Hi, can I ask what the ratio is to make 6 bags? Also is warm tap water fine?  I think I added too much water, it’s been two days and still water drips from my hand when I squeeze the substrate.  Is it still good once it dries due to too much water initially?  Lots of questions as I’m new to this.  I appreciate any help.
