50/50 without the plus
    #5930141 - 08/04/06 12:00 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Say I made some casing trays with just peat moss and verm and they have been incubating for about a day. Can the mycelium be salvaged or will it be ruined by the acidity?

Thanks in advance for any help offered!

See what happens. Ive read of people on this forum having success with unbuffered 50/50.

mycelim will have no problem with the acidity.

the contams won't either, and that is the problem.

anything under seven, and you are inviting trich to germinate there.

your shrooms will be fine from 5.5 to 8.5, so don't worry about them.

the ph we worry about is due to contams.
for their management, we keep things from 7.2 to 8.0.

Thanks for the replies! I'm thinking I'll use a seperate grow chamber for these guys and bleach out the incubation chamber.

i wouldnt go that far unless you actually have contams.  a separate chamber is fine if you got one but the bleach could be more harm than good if you dont rinse things out well enough... dont make more work for yourself than necessary.  an unbuffered casing isnt like an automatic biohazard or something... :smile: people do skip the buffering step and it does often times work out just fine.

People have used the 50/50 method for years before the + (plus) was added. Adjusting PH is to achieve optimal conditions.
