Minimum substrate depth.
    #6932188 - 05/17/07 09:47 PM (16 years, 8 months ago)

What is the minimum substrate depth for crumbled substrate?
Using whole grain brown rice (9er tek except without verm.)
What size pieces should I crumble it into?

How long does myc take to penetrate coir and become ready for fc?

I thought I read somewhere that coir goes lightning fast so how thick of a layer is recommended

Actually I think I will use a thinner layer, maybe half an inch because I read a quote from roger rabbit that said never use a casing layer over half an inch unless using four or more inches of substrate.

Casing layer yes but for substrate use I 3-5.

Read my pinning strategy those casings were made with a substrate depth of under 3/4". 2-3 inch is optimal and most efficient.

I vote 2-4" optimal substrate depth as well. Anything over that seems to be overkill.
As for casing layers, stick with 1/4-1/2".
