best substrate mix for bulk ?
    #5373966 - 03/07/06 11:50 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

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  :cool:

thanx a bunch! cheers

48 Cups of horse manure (shredded)
24 Cups of vermiculite
16 1/2 Cups of dry WBS (do not soak or simmer)
4 Tablespoons of dry Kelp Meal
6 Tablespoons of Canola or Vegetable oil
21 Cups of water

will fill 4 large spawn bags.

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.  :thumbup:

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.  :smile:

*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.

Indeed, on the hijacking. Let's try and keep it on topic here people.
