spawning to straight coir or add nutes?
    #9688407 -

With coir I always read that you need to add ground up coffee and some other substance (gypsum?) but this looks fine to me

how much of a difference will adding other nutrients make? and what are they?

Oyster shell or gypsum need to be added to the casing mixture. There are hundred different methods out there on how to make a casing mixture.

picked this guy last night from a straight coir tub.
it just depends on how many flushes you want, etc.

nice little cluster you have there josh.  So straight coir will give you less flushes?

it can.
normally without any added nutes, coir will last a few flushes before it becomes pathetic and weak.

and gracias, this clustered is getting devoured on friday! :smile:

nice your doing trays correct? In your opinion is it worth it to add the nutes or not?

The more nutrients you add and the more variety of nutrients/substrates you add the more, bigger, healthier etc. mushrooms you'll get.

The more complex the substrate, the better they will do.

So you don't NEED to add anything, but it will help.

use coffee in your substrate, a lil gypsum powder will help w/nutrients also.

if your spawning to it, it wouldnt be to hard to just add some spent coffe grounds and some gypsum into it, and its well worth it in my opinion.
