Im confused, whats the best from tenstud? out of the wheat straw, 5050 mix, and the pre-pasturized substrate? whats the diffrence, and what are they used for? I know the pre-past. is hpoo, and that would be the substrate. but what about the other two.

The wheat straw is shredded wheat straw and can be used as a substrate. The 50/50 is 50% straw, 50% hpoo. They are all substrates. It just depends on your personal taste. I prefer 100% poo.

Alright cool. Is 100% poo better than 5050? or is it about the same?

100% hpoo is better, in my opinion, because it contains straw also. You can either just get a man-made mixture, or just use natures mixture. Hpoo colonizes faster also.

Alright, cool. I think ill go with the 100% hpoo from tenstud. the pre-pasturized. But I was woundering, is hpoo from a local stable better or worse than hpoo from ten stud?

Just get it from a local stable. It's MUCH cheaper. Here is what I do personally:
1)collect the poo
2)break up the poo and spread it out on a big ass piece of tin (any surface is fine - I just use metal because it conducts/attracts heat)
3)stir it around periodically until even drying (I just dry it out until it smells earthy - sometimes it is still just a little moist) This takes about 4-5 hours on a sunny day.
4)bag it up into oven bags, seal, and pasturize @ 175-180 degrees for 2 hours
5)mix with water until field capacity 6)put into individual autoclavable bags and impulse seal
I usually end up with about 20 lbs. poo per 2 oven bags
That's my method. You may find one that suits you better. If you don't have an impulse sealer you can get them on ebay for about $25. Bags for about $1.50 a piece. I realize that it seems like a long process but it is actually very simple and A LOT cheaper once you get the right supplies. They pay for themselves after 2 completed bags.
But to answer your question...all hpoo is pretty much the same. Just depends on what they eat and most eat just plain grass.

i have now tried both this is the 50/50:
]
this is the straight hpoo:
 to be fair this one is twice the size of the first one.
IME they are nearly identical. they both took about the same time to colonize, i would have thought the 50/50 would have been faster, but it wasn't. as far as potency differences, i'll have to get back to you on that.

Are you saying you store it hydrated and pasteurized? Just wondering I always store mine dry. ENJOY
