really need some help and info here....
    #7011520 - 06/05/07 11:10 AM (16 years, 9 months ago)

Okay, I am hoping to get an answer to this post before i go out and buy uneeded items... i wanna grow again and wanna do it this weekend... except i am confused on which method to use...

I have tried corn and 60/40 casing

I would like to try wild bird seed ---except--- i am not sure to use the Alien method for substrate and casings

or

should i just go with wild bird seed and use jiffy mix for a casing??? i wanted to try Miracle grow moisture control but not sure which is better jiffy mix or the Miracle grow moisture control..

please help thanks..

I would do bird seed. I would fill a jar with 280 ml bird seed and 140 ml water and let sit for 24 hours and then pc. Spawn to poo and reap rewards.

bird seed is not going to work very well AS a substrate. to get good results from it, you're going to need to spawn it to something (poo, straw, coir). or use rye instead of wbs

That's bad advice, sorry. You want to soak the birdseed completely. Endospores that are heat resistant (i.e. cannot be pressure cooked away) need to hatch and become vulnerable. Filling jars up halfway with water means half the WBS will be inoculated with active bacteria inside. Not a good thing.

jccc...jiffy mix is just peat. Should accomplish the task at hand, mixed with verm, no?

yeh but i was going off the fact that he didnt say mixing with verm....but if he does... sure

Also when you let it soak in jars you cant just drain and pc....

you need to pour it all out and rinse one more time...this rinses of 'the slime' that is on the seeds if you dont rinse this slime off it will deffinatlly slow colonization

You should add vermiculite. Jiffy mix/verm. as the casing and if your going to spawn spawn to your prefrence.(straw and poo :headbanger:)

bah it's not rocket science, and all that really isn't needed, if you get jiffy mix with vermiculite you have a perfect casing layer and you have to mix nothing...

and Lyme, not the lime, the fruit, but lymestone powder, i think i've even seen it spelled Lhym, and Lhime, to avoid confusion.

I have excellent success using straight vermiculite.
