Substrate and casing question
    #5815020 - 07/03/06 07:17 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I've been using one full 500 ml jar of rye berry substrate in each of my casings. the casing tuperware is about 8" by 8" or so, andi was wondering how much substrate u actually need for each casing. because it still growsover the casing layer, does this mean that u just need enough substrate to grow through the soil? or is more better for yeild?

Its usually best to have at least 2 inches of substrate, and up to 4 inches of substrate... Closer to 3-4 will, indeed, increase yield. Make sure with thicker substrates, you remember the 1:4 ratio of casing layer to substrate. Ive had a bad batch (uber tiny shrooms) by accidentally putting 1/4 inch of casing on a 3 inch substrate.

I would usually use 1 quart jar of rye per 1 bread-pan casing with fantastic results... good luck!  :syringe: :sun: :tongue2:

IMO the 1:4 ratio for casinglayer to substrate is to much, unless your doing 6"+ deep substrate. around 3/8" is as deep as i go and have good resalts..

.

the key is to get the proper moisture content..

about 3/8th inch on the casing layer? So you say this is a good general rule of thumb? sounds good if it is, b/c i was thinking of doing some 4 inchers and 1 inch of casing may take a while to colonize...  :crazy:
