whey protein for PF jars?
    #5972400 - 08/17/06 10:09 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Is whey protein a possible substitute for BRF in PF jars?


Simple yes or no question really, unless you want comment further, I'm looking for new options for substrate and couldn't find an answer to this question.

ok then to put it simply, no.

whey protein is obviously a good source of... protein.  but mushrooms won't grow on ptotein alone, they need carbs (simple sugars) mainly, but also fiber and a small amount of fats as well... and make use of other trace nutrients.  they do best with a "balanced" diet, much like humans. :smile:  it might make an interesting additive to a PF jar, but probably without much of a noticable difference.  brown rice flour is cheaper besides...

Thnx guys. >__<

Well I've just gotten my first pins on my first grow ever so I figured hey i might aswell start thinking of some new techniques for the future.


The powder I have does have carbohydrates aswell. It's got about 20g protein and 30g carbs per "serving" aswell as A-Z vitamins and minerals.

well, to give you a basis for comparison, brf (which we know works well) is about 75% carbs, and 7% protein.

not to say whey protein wouldn't work at all, but its not going to work well.  if you want to look for new techniques for the future, read up on bulk spawning.  you can continue to grow simple BRF cakes, but crumble them and mix them with bulk substrates.  that will increase nutritional content, substrate mass, and yields significantly.  its not so productive to come up with strange recipes for PF jars alone... you'll find countless threads of people who have, and then have little to show for their efforts. :smile:
