Hello all,

I made a major mistake in my casing mix

Its way to wet at the moment and seems way too thick.

I was wondering if I can re-case by removing the current mycelium, lightly rinse it, and add it to a new casing mix.

I have some ingredients i would like everyones opinion on what is best to use adn what portions.

Please dont refer me to a link on casing mix. This is all I have and have NO money to buy anything new. So hopefully IM not Fuxored..

here is what i have

Scotts Sphagnum Peat Moss  (1 large bag)

Espoma Organic Traditions Garden Lime ( 1 bag)

Vermiculite (1 large bag)

Dehydrated Manure with Humus (1 large Bag)

Then I have this and im not sure if i can use it but you tell me

Fine Crushed Oyster Shells (seems very fine) (1 bag)

Any suggestions?

thanks..

and sorry for the newb questions/mistakes :thumbup:

personally i usually have a very wt casing layer as it drys out pretty rapidley in a PMP.

do you have a bulk grow going or do you have cased cakes or something?

vermiculite works great on it's own for a casing material.

if i were you i would take the casing and add 10 lbs of manure and case with the vermiculte.

if you were going to use peat as a casing you mix it 50/50 with vermiculte and 5% lime by volume to balance the ph.

just let the casing dry out a bit, you'll be ok.

Dood, why do you keep starting new threads?? You can post this all in one thread, instead of making a new one after 4 replies...... Let it run its course, ask a new question in your thread.

Dooood,

what are you talking about? AS for the other question about the wetness? I have found that you have to be specific in your topic title to get the best response..
