Noob MGMC question (yes I have tried the search function)
    #6845189 - 04/28/07 12:47 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

I just purchased a bag of Miracle Grow Moisture control. Awhile back I thought RR or someone said it was bad to use because it contains perlite. I have done a search and read most of the posts regarding MGMC, but couldn't find that specific post. Also, can I pastuerize by putting it in a bowl, covering it, heat for 2min let sit for 10min then repeat, repeat. Easy pastuerization teks? Finally, Allow me to offer my standard apology for asking a noob question even though I have use the search function.

Is that supposed to be a casing? Its definitely no good for a substrate. What are you using as spawn. If you don't know the answer to any of these questions then search the site till you know.

It is supposed to be used as a casing. My buddy has 7 pint jars colonizing B+ with BRF/Verm PF-Tek method. There is alot of posts about MGMC being as good as the 50/50 casing with lime, but I thought I remember someone with alot of experience saying it is terrible to use because it contains perlite. It does infact contain a mixture of coir, peatmoss, perlite, and fertilizer. I just didnt want to hassle with the 50/50 because I just wanted to microwave this sh## and set it aside for my casing when the jars finish. My buddy cased another earlier batch of verm only and it hasn't pinned in 10 days. He just scraped the verm so the mycelium is now poking through and has his fingers crossed so I dont think we will try the verm only method again although some swear by it being fine.
