is casing necessary
    #5411516 - 03/17/06 07:08 AM (18 years, 16 days ago)

Okay, so i basically understand the funcition of the casing layer i thin k. i think it does a few things...
1-provide a barrier to possible contams...
2-retain moisture/(possibly provide some nutrients?)
3-prevent overlay?

okay...im doing a wbs to poo and im wondering, how neccesary is the casing method... does anyone just spawn to poo without casing, adn if so how are your results...

im guessing it makes sense to spend a little more time and money to case, but im just curious.

TYIA...

yes
no
no


1 it keeps contams off yes but its mainilly there for good mosture and to triger the mycelium to fruit becuse of the lack of nutreents in the cassing layer

2.. a good cassing mix should have very very low nutreients..hence the contaim barrier factor.

3 overlay is when pinning was initiated to late and the mycelim overtook the cassing so bad pin set will result

A casing layer provides a microclimate for the substrate surface, this is why casing's only need 80-90% humidity.

Just do the casing man. It's not expensive, not very time consuming and will increase your yield.

Case for sure other wise you have just wasted your time and effort for the most part I mean why go thru all the effort and not case makes absolutely no mycosense to me. FYI cubies do not require a casing but it improves yields tremendously.
