Jars in the PC is the way to go, just don't let them fall under 140 or go above 170 for about an hour.

I do my casing material in jars, but prefer to use oven bags for bulk substrate. I would hate to have to pasturize 20 quart jars of poo for just one tray. that would suck so hard.

Calcium Sulfate is Calcium Sulfate, and while it's not mycs favorite food, he does eat calcium sulfate.

In fact Calcium and Sulfur are the two nutrients myc loves, but rye berries are poor in, which makes gypsum a perfect dietary supplement.




Calcium Sulphate is not Calcium Sulphate. There are three kinds of Calcium Sulphate, dehydrated, hemihydrated and dihydrated. Gypsum is dihydrated Calcium Suplhate, Plaster of paris is the hemihydrated form and Drierite is the dehydrated form of the same chemical.

Use gypsum, and you will be fine, use any of the other two forms and you risk ending up with a solid brick of substrate.

But seriously folks, does a cookie know if you added the water before the oil, or before the egg, or the sugar?

I think that's one of those anal retentive things that becomes a dogmatic law of sorts.

I think the two main goals of any 50/40/10 sub mix, is even distribution of the coir, verm, and gypsum as well as proper moisture content.

The order the ingredients were added does not effect these goals whatsoever in my opinion.





Try baking a cake by mixing the flour in after you've added the wet ingredients and see what happens. It won't look like, taste like, or even BE a cake.

The reason for mixing the dry ingredients together first, is because dry ingredients WILL mix together. Wet ingredients will clump and bond to each other, and not mix properly. It ain't dogma, it's common sense.

LOL, owned. Doesn't seem like he's really learning anything though, he just seems to keep up with the same antics.
