HPoo, Straw, WBS Question?
    #6046155 - 09/10/06 08:36 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

Hi - How's it going. I've had good experience in the past with HPoo, Straw, and WBS cased with peat and verm. I've generally used 1 cup HPoo, 10 qts straw, and 3 qts colonized WBS. I came to the conclusion that I'm basically just making a straw block and casing it - seeing as how the ratio of HPoo was so small. This time around I tried 2 qts HPoo, 10 qts Straw, and 3 qts WBS. My problem is the pastuerized Hpoo doesen't seem to be colonizing at all. They tray has been colonizing for 8 days in a 70 degree room and the pastuerized straw is almost fully colonized but the areas of Hpoo are still uncolonized and brown. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm not sure if I should wait a few more days to see what happens to the HPoo areas or if I should case the tray and fruit it?

Also the tray smells a little more "funky" than usual. It has that slight wine or fermentation smell to it. I wasn't sure if that meant things were going bad or if the odor was a little different due to the higher HPoo content.

Thanks for any input
Shaq

The funky smell is not good.

After poking around a little bit - it looks like I might have had the HPoo a little to wet. I read that if it's too wet it won't colonize or will colonize really slow and be more prone to contaims. Oh well - back to the drawing board. I doubt there's a way to salvage the tray. Maybe I'll chuck it outside and see what it does out there!!

Thanks
Shaq
