I just read the big guys talking about egg shells. Crushed wont buffer, but powdered will.
Blender or coffee grinder should work well.

Looking good bro! Eggshells will work. You are going to have a good harvest by the looks of it. :thumbup:

If you are really that hard up for a buffer go get some calcium tablets in the vitamin department it will say "calcium as calcium carbonate" on the back, put the pills in a blender and they explode into a powder...

thanks for the answers. I'm planing to just have calcium carbonate(or eggshell,oyster shell), will that be enough or will i need a fast acting buffer?(hydrate lime)? or like Cubenisseur said, if i just powder the shells it will be fast acting? i really want a god buffer.

where can i find pure calcium carbonate? i have been in many garden stores and they not have it...

I can't find hydrate lime,
all i have right now is some Vern, peat, and crushed/powdered eggshells.
will it be bad if a use just eggshell?

will 50/50 and eggshell. OR 60/40 coir Vern be best? since in coco coir i don't need to be worried about the pH?

if you don't case until mon(3rd) they'll be ready for the fc on the 5th or so. it'll prolly take 7 days or so to initilize pinning, so they should just be popping up (if your fc is fully automated) just as you get back from vacation.

like the others said, the buffer must be fine powder. you can get oystershells from the pet store (for birds) which is calcium carbonate.

i personally like coir better than peat. i feel that it is more resistant to contams. but i still buffer my coir verm casings.

you gotta get it automated or stay your ass home so you can fan and mist 3-6 times a day. a simple bubble wand hooked up to an air pump and timer will do the trick to automate a pmp. fae and rh are key factors to let the myc know it's time to fruit.

good luck getting the eggshells to powder by hand.. ya don't have a coffee grinder or blender?

what if i makes hole in the FC like a mono tub?
i really can't stay home..

I'm using a jar to powder it, now 70% is pulverized.

how fast will the eggshells act to raise the pH in the peat?

those are used as a long term buffer.. not too sure how long they will take tho...

what are you using as a fc?

ya thats no big deal dude, get it setup so theres gona be some air exchange. holes in the side of the tub or an aquarium pump put them into the FC. pinning will probably start by the 7th or so and im betting that your gona have a nice suprise waiting for you when you get back from vacation
