substrate depth/thickness question

#314595 - 05/11/01 08:42 AM (24 years, 12 days ago)

Just need a clarification.. In another thread McMan said:

In reply to:
A concentrated substrate like BRF should be somewhere between 1 and 3 inches in depth. Somewhere in the middle would be fine, but the thicker the better for overall yield potential. Anything beyond 3 inches would be of no more benefit to your cropping yields.

Would anyone (especially McMan) know if that is in reference to a specific species or if that's across the board for all fungi perfecti?

Oh, so it applies to the substrate used also. Makes sense. I'm interested in many species, that's why I wanted to clarify. It sounds like you're saying those parameters apply only to cubies on BRF. I don't do flour, agar/grain/poop/woodchips mostly. I made blocks of Reishi that are way thicker than 3". I guess I'd better refer to the bible (TMC) or the new testiment (GGMM) for specific recommendations.
