Making homemade grow bags - how much verm/peat per wbs?
    #5616253 - 05/11/06 03:19 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Going to attempt to make home made grain fruiting bags using WBS, verm and peat/ag lime. The bags will not be used to spawn or case, but grow inside the bag. Anyone have any thoughts on how much verm and peat to mix in with the WBS? Each bag will be roughly 2.5 pounds total. First thought is about 75% WBS and 25% verm/peat.

Does this mixture sound reasonable, or does anyone have other suggestions? The idea of blending peat/verm seems appealing as well, instead of using whole sized verm and stick-like peat. Will be things thought of while sleeping, but thought others might have valuable insight. Seems like a great mixture that has great odds of success.

Thanks

You MIGHT be better pasturizing straw...

PM if you want links to the best teks... or could give you a quick rundown on the basics too.

You pasturize the straw mixed with 2 quarts of vermiculite (both straw and verm prepared with right) in the oven in a big turkey oven bag, let it cool, then mix in 2 quart sized jars or so of grainspawn (WBS if you wish, colonized + broken up and mixed in the bag with the pasturized straw). Fold the end of the bag underneath itself or fold it down on the top and lock in place w/ a paperclip... then let that staw\span mix colonize for about 2 weeks... then you will have a shitload of bulk substate :wink:

Lemme know if you want more details or a tek to look at. As for your original plan, im just against bulk WBS or bulk RYE ops in bags like that, too much risk for contams... plus the straw will give you a loooot more for a lot cheaper. Plus you can eventually learn to mix in poo with your straw, and mix in composts in with your straw, the key to to SUPER dank.  :rasta:

Teonanacatl, open up my eyes
This sacrament, this prayer, beyond the world of lies
Guide me clearly through that which I dont understand
Give me strength to find the path
Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely
This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace
And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do
Amen

Not looking to work with poo or straw. Been there done that. Looking to revert to grains. Thanks for the info, though.
