Straw Pellet Teks?
    #27801887 - 06/01/22 07:35 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

Any updates on Straw Pellet Teks? Most of the info here is from years ago. They market Straw Pellets for mushrooms now, but it may be unchanged.

THANKS 4 READING

Haven’t tried them for cubes but have used them for pans and tamps. I’m not a big fan. Conceptually I like the idea and convenience but they haven’t performed as well for me as other subs. First of all, they turn to thick mud when hydrated to field capacity. So you have to mix them with something that will give them a lot of fluff. Course verm isn’t enough. The only successful grows I have had with it have been when I have mixed it with coir and verm and the ratio of straw pellets was pretty low…. I tried to think of it more as a supplement than a source of bulk. In a 6qt shoebox filled with 3qts of sub, I would add just 0.5 to 1 pint of hydrated pellets.

It doesn’t hydrate very well either - especially if you are trying to underhydrate it slightly - the pellets don’t fully break up.

I’ve had some good trays from it but I prefer straw/manure/verm.

Thank you for the reply, that is exactly the kind of information we were looking for ' guess we may have to get used to "thick mud" for awhile. :grin:

We are going to be mixing the pellets with spawn that is already compromised of Rye/Coir/Verm - We got doubts, but we are a little curious because we already have the pellets. We wont expect much, that way maybe it wont seems so bad. :wink:
