**Best casing possible for cubes ? **
    #5381210 - 03/09/06 12:47 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

hello everybody..

For the past couple of days I have been trying to figure out whats the best casing possible for cubes, the mixture professionals use! From the plethora of info I absorbed from the site, this is my conclusion. What do you think?

Its a modified version of the 50/50+ tek

15 ? cups of vermiculite
15 ? cups of peat moss
4 ? oyster shell flour
1.2 cups of hydrated limestone
15 cups of distilled water

I substituted crushed oyster shell with oyster shell flour (hyphae's suggestion) and I will purchase the hydrated lime for mycosupply to ensure it is not the brand that throws off the PH balance.

If possible, and I ask as humbly as one can, can ROADKILL or AGAR or any other top dawg of shroomery help me out on this one?

thanx X infiniti!

as stated here there is no perfect mix mainly because my materials are from a differant place than yours. my ph is going to be higher or lower than yours.

it's a good base but everyone will have to tweek to their personal needs.

The only best answer is to get a ph tester or strips and adjust it accordingly.

yeah PH is the only factory that really needs tweeking.

just saw on myco supply a PH Meter for $40 . might be worth the investment.

You might want to think about adding 2 cups or so of coir for faster colonization.
