best substrate mix for bulk ?

Greetings everybody....
For growing cubes I was just wondering whats the best substrate mix for growing bulk? What is the best % of horse poo and straw to maximize yield?
50%poo 50%straw 100%poo
I plan for my substrate to be 5-6 inches deep and I am assuming that a straight up 100%poo mix will not allow for too much FAE. Is this correct? Or the more horse poo would be better?
Can some experienced growers enlighten on their experience?
I apologize if this ? has been asked thousands of times... but next time someone asks I promise to answer 
thanx a bunch! cheers

FAE doesn't have anything to do with substrate composition. Go straight poo, or cut it with coco coir, but straw is not necessary.
50/50 manure/coco coir has made for the fastest colonizing bulk tubs I've ever seen. Try it out.

thanx guys...
I was going to put an order with tenn stud, which I should have mentioned.....
I will go with the 100% poo mix.
I was just afraid that straight up poo will not allow FAE in the inner parts of the substrate in my bin for healthy mycelia to grow....
I will bookmark this
thanx liquidkick and holydiver
btw holydiver are you a scuba diver lol cuz i am =) been diving high but never on shrooms lol does not sound like a good idea tho I would always get much higher when I smoked after a dive... I wonder if I will get more fucked up if I take shrooms after a dive........
I will have to test it out

Get the moisture content of the manure right, and that will allow for colonization--mycelium has all the air it needs down there. FAE is for the casing layer, and initializing pins on the surface.
Yeah man I dive, and there are a lot of things I'll do on shrooms, but diving is definitely not one of them.

*sheepishly helps hijack the thread by mentioning he's a diver as well* Dove 'Turtle Bay, Kona Coast, Hawaii' on acid in Jan 2000. Low dosed with a high tolerance. It was neat, but then again, not neccessary and maybe a little dangerous. Diving partner was sober. I was so busy having fun diving, I forgot I was high so I think it was kind of a waste.
