Does it matter what type of vermiculite? Fine or coarse

[@eviljoeblack]

Hey good video friend. May I give a friendly suggestion for higher yield and larger fruiting bodies it's best to use the masters mix for wood loving mushrooms. Thats hardwood fuel pellets, wheat bran and gypsum. Make sure the pellets are no additives or chemicals personally oak or cherry wood have worked well.

[@brettharter143]

Masters mix is 50/50 hardwood / soybean hulls, what on earth are you talking about?

[@eviljoeblack]

​@@brettharter143there are multiple variations to the recipe, I was just suggesting the one that works best for me for specific wood lovers. Besides why are you gatekeeping the comments, mycology is an ever expanding study, nothing is set in stone. Except being really clean lol

[@brettharter143]

​@@eviljoeblackits not gatekeeping. Master Mix is a defined recipe with defined results. Your just talking about supplemented hardwood sawdust mix, not masters mix...

[@eviljoeblack]

@@brettharter143 Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot you were the master of mycology. So sorry masta, I'll do it right next time masta!! Please dont get the whip!

[@surronzak8154]

@@eviljoeblack Yeah, don't spread false information next time ;-)

[@Borris1050]

Great vids much appreciated, anybody know the water to loose coco ratio?,,

[@SicHeadshotzGaming]

Can I store this substrate or do I typically have to make it to use at the time of setting up a monotub?

[@SicHeadshotzGaming]

I guess the factor that matters is the moisture level, I am assuming if it is stored air tight like a mushroom bag it would hold up ok?

[@ezmushroom]

You could store it for a couple of days (some say up to a week but I personally wouldn't risk it) as long as its air tight.

[@applejuicecaboose]

@@SicHeadshotzGaming I just grew some mushrooms that shall not be named using a CVG bucket mix that was 8 months old. Didn't even rehydrate it. CVG is not nutritious for mold/whatever and the stuff stores fine as long as you dont repeatedly open the bucket for no reason.

[@atelierkanagawa]

does it have to pure gypsum or can you use the mixed ones from a garden supply that come more in a sand base?

[@ezmushroom]

Pure gypsum. Plenty of people go without it and swear it makes no difference though so you can also skip it

[@waynekozak3121]

I’ve heard that plaster of Paris is the same

[@rabiddog89]

How much water for a kg of coco coir and a kg of vermiculite?

[@14gamer12]

osm video thanks

[@LeonPhythian69]

How much final substrate does this recipie make in KG/ liters?

[@ezmushroom]

The Coco expands to 10L once the water is added.

[@LeonPhythian69]

@@ezmushroom cheers dude, pretty much followed it to the letter. Should be ready to mix this evening. All wrapped in foil wrap a four season sleeping bag, a duvet and a large weight on the top, hahaha proper overkill. 😎

[@bmoneybby]

​@@LeonPhythian69sweet. How did it go?

[@LeonPhythian69]

@bmoneybby Amazing, I've been using this method now on my last few tubs. There is a slight change because of tub size, but it works a treat so massive, thank you. Some savage flushes.

[@chakraview7554]

Why do you have measurements for a dry ingredient in litres?! Why?😢

[@mariofox8377]

Dry vermiculite and dry coco coir have to be equal 1:1 in volume If you use a brick of coco (600gr) eyeball the same volume of vermiculite then add your water. You can avoid vermiculite imo and use only coco coir and no gypsum tbh... Your first time don't over complicate it

[@JorgeMartinez-bruy]

1 litre can be used for dry ingredients as a volume measurement.

[@waynekozak3121]

U can use a cooler for the same effect

[@Jinsuun]

What was your spawn:sub ratio here? 2L spawn and app 9L sub?

[@ezmushroom]

Yes just about, probably more like 2 x 800ml of grain as there was space in the jars

[@LeonPhythian69]

What size is the tub for this recipie my man? Nice work here, mush appreciated

[@dario2rnr]

Your spawn jars had no spawn!

[@jennak.8541]

yes it was spawn, he just shook them up off camera

[@brescalofrio1]

there is even a calculator this is easier everyday

[@mustardnbiscuits5338]

THOSE ARENT OYSTERS Hehehehehe...........
