Multi-Grain Multi-Compost mix w/ additives: Any suggestions?
    #7402728 - 09/12/07 09:35 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I am organizing a list of nutrients for experimental purposes for a friend of mine to try and was wondering if anyone has any additions or suggestions. I was thinking of a 50% grainspawn and 50% compost mixture to utilize the nutrient variation of both mixes. I have gathered info from multiple sources and this is what I have.

:strokebeard:

For the grainspawn I was contemplating:

Long Grain Brown Rice
Quinoa
Vermiculite
Spring water w/ kelp meal extract
Millet
Flax Seed
Rye

Additives:
Nutritoinal Yest
bee pollen
shredded coconut flour
blue corn meal
yellow corn meal
cottonsead meal

For the compost I had been considering:

Horse Poo
Cow Poo
Worm Castings
Coconut Coir
Straw
Coffee Grinds
Crushed Oyster Shell
Gypsum
Vermiculite

Additives (added post pasteurization):
Stevia Leaf
Algit Kelp Meal
Black Mustard Seed
Blood Meal

The idea is to create the ultimate multi-nutrient mix (regardless of cost) to create the superest dank mushroom growing medium possible. I have the ratios\amounts thought about pretty well. Maybe doing an agar culture isolation spawned to LC spawned to the multi-grain mix spawned to the multi-compost mix in a 50/50 ratio? The grainspawn jars being quart, some w/ protective 1/2 of vermiculite, some without for shaking. Any ideas, suggestions, or additions? Thanks a lot!

If you mix wine, beer, and liquor together, will you get a stronger drink relative to it's volume? Keep this in mind when formulating a recipe for a substrate and compost mix.

Clever, but uninformative... what would be the weaker of the nutrients that could be done without? Where do you reach the point where versatile nutrient mix is outweighed by single superior nutrient quality? Is it just about the ratios or is it better off if certain things are omitted entirely? :heart: :peace:

I would love to see this thread revisited with some answers from RR, because using the search function this post was exactly thread I was about to write, so I just revived this one instead.

Any idea's people?

Good luck....

I have since used outdoor made compost using multi-manure and MANY of the above additives. Mushrooms go nuts!

Rye berries or brown rice flour are already packed with nutrition. Flax seeds contain a lot of oil and may go rancid. There's a thread where agar advocates using a mixture of rye berries, millet, and sorghum for a wider nutrient spectrum. Vermiculite won't add to nutrition and will screw up your moisture content if you already have a good technique for grains. The other stuff seems like a waste of time, personally, but I can't really comment one way or another.

First of all, grain jars do not need a layer of vermiculite like PF Tek jars. You need a filter, such as tyvek or polyfil. Also, all bulk substrate ingredients need to be pasteurized together.

All of the stuff you listed is commonly used for bulk substrates and works great - personally, I would stick with just the horse manure and ditch the bovine because horse manure's texture is far better suited to home mycology. Chicken manure can also be added @ 5% by volume.

I also know monstermitch adds stevia leaves and kelp meal to his bulk substrates.

[edit] :rolleyes: Didn't notice this thread was bumped from over a year ago.
