Casings 3 or 2 layers?
    #5349349 - 02/28/06 01:17 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I have been reading these forums almost non stop for a week now and have my grow about to start (waiting on spores). I have received much help from everyone here and have put together rules for myself to follow. However I have come across some interesting casing info. Is a bottom layer of casing mix really needed? I have read that you can just apply the crushed substrate into a sterile pan and then add your casing mix on top. So if I have 2" crushed substrate and 1/2" casing mix on top i should be ok?

ratio for casing layer should be 4:1 so youre ok with that. as for the bottom layer, i used it on my first 2 casings and its pinning just fine. i have another casing that is incubating where i didnt use the bottom layer. i want to compare the yield of the 2 to see what difference i see. from what i understand though, its really a preference. the bottom layer will help you if you accidentally overwater you casing layer or if the substrate is too moist.

if i want to squeeze in slightly more poo i will leave out the bottom layer but for casing grain, i always use one.

id have your substrate depth be 4 inches, not two.
