Mix for bags

mr. pink · 06-14-09, 14:43

Just moved. Way less space available for my projects. I plan on using ground brown rice in a mix with some coir and maybe some coffee. I can get kelp at a near by store. I have some cactus mix too. However I have no verm, no lime or gypsum.

I want to make the mix shoot it up with MS let it colonize and fruit in the bag. Almost like a cake. I figure I can dunk it with out a problem.

Any suggestion? Any one have any results with something similar?

i use wbs or rye and then spawn to coco coir in tubs.

mr. pink · 06-14-09, 16:36

Yes. Ive used wbs and rye before. I usually spawned to a mix of coir, verm and worm castings. The thing is I want to do this all invitro for the sake of space and I can't find a small bag of verm only large ones.(also brings up a space issue)

Im thinking of crushing up the whole brown rice in a coffee grinder and adding it to a mixture of cactus soil and coir. One part crushed rice to two parts cactus/coir mix. Maybe some liquid kelp and coffee for extra balls.

Any thoughts? Anyone?

This should work for a grow bag fruiting. The recipe seems decent. I'm not saying that it is optimal, but for a limited space and resource grow, the ingredients will suffice.

Thanks for the reply Awe. Hopefully this will work maybe i can find some other materials that will make this work better. Maybe Ill do a log just to show what the results are.

Mr.pink, Why can't you do grain and then just mix coir or poo in a bag with said grain and still fruit invitro. I actually have lots of trouble getting grain to work for me. I have tried lots of grains with no success yet. Sticking to PF tek.
Nevermind me, just looked closer and found the answer to my question.

Well part of it to Is my glovebox got smashed in the move and I ant got no flow hood. But one day

. So Ims trying to keep things as simple as possible.

mr. pink · 07-03-09, 15:50

Alright, so I made a mix. I basically did the formula for Hippies cakes minus the lake water, cottonseed meal, verm and I only used yellow corn meal no blue. Also instead of the verm I did half coco coir and half cactus soil mix. Knocked it up with some Koh Samui multispore six days ago and I already have growth. Ill post pics when I get my GFs digital camera.

Cool Mr. Pink. Keep us posted and let us know how the bags do for you. I have been giving rye a chance in bags, but have had nothing but problems and contaminates grow.

Hopefully yours do well, best of luck.

THanks man!
foster one thing I found when I was doing larger grows with three pound bags of rye I would add fifteen percent verm to the amount of grain. This really helped me keep bacillus away and you can shoot a ton of lc in the bag for faster colonization times. I will admit it was not my idea. Some one on another forum gave me the recipe. However many people would argue that as long as you prep the grain right you don't need to take thes step.

Here we go. There are two more that look about the same.
