ethnobotanica · 01-03-08, 08:05

Does anyone know if if regular potting soil is a good enough casing for cambo cubes invitro in a mycobag???? If so can i just nuke it in the microwave 1st?? Or could I use coir without verm, having trouble finding verm and I'm running out of time..

potting soil would work.. coir alone would work.. just apply a thin layer and make sure you hydrate it well and pasteurize it..

Yea coir alone should do fine, just get proper moisture content. About 1/2 inch or so should do it. And I've nuked in microwave with good results before when i needed it quick. Just nuke it in a bowl, covered with saran wrap. Do it for 5 min, let cool for 5 min, and repeat two more times.
