    Just from my personal experience, I find that manure based sub colonizes faster and produces better fruits than CVG. I haven't tried coir as a stand alone sub. I'll continue to experiment but currently I feel manure is better. Seems like all things are moving to easier, like e-biking...

    Excellent subject and always good to see your 4k nature walks. Thank you. Though I am a little confused concerning straight coir and not contaminating. My understanding is that to avoid trich, it's a good idea to add things to the coir that change the ph level, discouraging trich. Would you say this is correct or a misunderstanding?

    • @Mycophilia
      @Mycophilia  Před rokem +3

      With clean spawn coir should not trich out as there’s nothing for the trich to eat. If you do have trich problems though (I.e. a large amount of trich spores floating around your home), then gypsum does help, and even adding a little pickling lime also

    Dollar store foam ice chest and a block of coir. Still steaming the next day. Then it sits for a day at field capacity and then it gets nuked in a turkey bag for good measure. Now heres the kicker.. I dont put it in a tub. I S2B in a shallow bed outside in the shady spots. But the sterile techniques give it a good start and they love it out there. The real issue is that bears and rodents love it.

    • @Mycophilia
      @Mycophilia  Před rokem

      Depends. More flushes does not necessarily mean better, it could mean that the genetics you’re working with need multiple flushes to expend itself versus one or two flushes, the latter being better. The amount of nutrition in grains is massive relative to the amount of substrate we give, so it’s absolutely not necessary to use a nutritious sub with coir lovers.
