What do the pros use to buffer their peat? Hydrated Lime? Limestone? Oyster Shell?

Any thoughts on using straight, buffered peat against straight verm, against verm/peat?

Maybe someone should do an isolation of a strain, and clone it to 9 trays, 3 of each casing, identical sub mix.

Yes, and that someone should be you.

Don't post again until you've done the experiment and reported back to us. For the love of god.

Also, what makes you think it hasn't been done already?

(Crossing fingers that you understand what a rhetorical question is.)

I think, as far as cubes go, that this is a moot point. With a little care and practice you can get wall to wall flushes with verm, peat, or a combination of both. I don't estimate there would be a huge difference in the yields were you to test it.

Therefore, if all you plan on growing is cubes, use what is easiest for you. Thats the way it seems to me, anyway.

Captain Cubensis I don't know what's more anoying the fact that you make several posts about the same question, that you constantly edit the subject of the post, or that you even bother making new posts.

Does anyone know? Do they use hydrated lime or something else?

The point of adjusting the pH of a casing is not to get a better flush, rather, you make the casing environment not favorable to contams, so you can get more flushes down the road. mycelium is more tolerant to higher pH, while many contams are not.

as far as the original question goes... it all comes down to personal preference and what is available to you. i think optimally you'd want to use hydrated lime for short-term adjustment, and crushed oyster shell for long-term adjustment.
