Bulk sub question

So I just finished my second successful grow; r44 grown with wbs spawned to straight coir, no casing. I flushed about 2.5 oz dry so I was defintely very pleased. Here's a pic of a few

Anyways I am looking to improve and was wondering if the following bulk sub would be better:
6 cups coir 3 cups castings 1 cup gypsum (also the castings are 5+ months old. Are organic growing mediums still good or are there live healthy bacteria in them or w.e. Sorry if this is a dumb question.)
Thanks!

Too much Gym and Castings. try a teaspoon of each to a cup of coir.
If you want it even better, toss in some verm.

You want bigger mushies, then go with a deeper substrate depth. At about a 5" depth, you should get some bigguns with coir. You also want to provide good FAE during pinning and fruiting. It helps avoid the tall, skinny shrooms.

Thanks for the fast replies! And yes hazey, ~3.5 grams offered me the most intense trip yet (highest dose was ~4 grams) and I defintely do not think coir offers less potent shrooms than say, horse poo. Anyways I guess I will do 1 cup of coir to 1 tablespoon of each although I thought RR recommended 10% gyspum would be fine.

Haven't yet but there are plenty of farms in the area. I just want to get the hang of coir first and master that before i move onto poo. Plus coir is cheap and close and I do not think it lacks performance.

=/ Getting mix replies lol. Some say 10% gypsum is too much some say its fine. I think im going with 5% by gyspum and 5% castings and 90% coir.
