Help me out (WBS)
    #7738043 - 12/09/07 08:08 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

So I have been using the poor mans pod for my cased cakes, but now have 7 or so jars of WBS ready to be used, and I don't know what to do with it. I would case, but really wanted to try spawning to a bulk substrate, and then casing them, but my type of terrarium is restricting me. So my question to you is - What is a good bulk substrate for wbs, secondly should I just turn my PMP to a mono tub? Thanks in advance!

Any bulk is good for birdseed just figure out witch one is best for you or make up your own mix its kind of hard to make a bad mix if its made up of known bulk substrates. Check my pic one is just cased bird seed. The others are ether wbs spawned to worm castings,core,verm,coffee, and bird seed( when made with lc). I've had straw and many other things in the mix just use what's you can get readly

Try a Monotub.

Doubletub Tek
Monotub Tek

They say poo works well. Coir/Castings with gypsum buffer works awesome for me.

If it's any use to you, I successfully converted my PMP into a Martha by getting a shorter tub (6" tall vs. 18"), swapping all the hydroton to it, adding some more pumps and a Ultrasonic. I put the new tub at the bottom of the Martha, under the racks, and ran the ultra in from the top. It works well. RH stays high, with out getting too much moisture at the bottom from the ultra.

Well I have converted my pmp into some monotubs, now I am trying to decide a good bulk substrate, as well as a casing mix. Any input?

Coir. Mixed with coffee grounds at about 30% maybe? I use worm castings in place of coffee. 10% gypsum by volume, too. Casing? 50/50.

Ya 50/50 verm and peat for a caseing with gypsum and lime for ph.

For bulk coir, coffe "used grounds", worm casting, horse cow goat poo, straw and compost all good in any amount.

My advice is to buy some coir, pasteurize it, build a few double tubs, and dump those jars in.  WBS on its own is a weak substrate, but it is a great substrate for spawning to bulk substrates such as poo and coir :wink:
