I always used horse manure for growing shrooms. Even cheap coco costs a lot more than horse manure.

Just hit up GPS’s July Black Friday sale. Chem daiquiri and tombstone are coming my way soon.
If you're getting seeds from GPS don't forget to check your promotions emails, pretty sure I have 2-3 50% off codes sitting in there.

Have any of you soil growers noticed it’s impossible to buy perlite and vermiculite right now? I called 10 different places in town today and nobody has any. I had to buy a bag of sta-green organic potting soil from Lowe’s today. Should be fine for what I have in veg but I’ve got a chem pie that will need to be flowered before too long and I really want to make up some of my own soil before then. Otherwise I’m just gonna have to do a short, half assed composting of the soil the rum runner is in.

I’ve been looking at alternatives like pumice and lava rock for perlite, but I’m having a hard time coming up with an alternative for vermiculite. The vermiculite shortage isn’t that terrible for us, but it’s gotta be devastating for my mushroom growing fam.
There is a shortage of ProMix in my area and has been for a few months now. It's the first time ever, and related to COVID somehow ( I am told).

Its because when areas were shut down due to covid those type of businesses (making promix, perlite, and other items like that) were non essential so they stopped producing for that time. We've been buying up all inventory which is why places are out. Those who have inventory seem to be online seller who have it on hand. New stock will start coming in soon now that stuff is opening back up again.

Yeah I’ve gotta go buy another bag of ready mixed soil from Lowe’s today. That should be enough and it will eventually be diluted into my good soil and composted. I ran into this problem by letting my plants get bigger and having to flower them in 7 gallon pots.

Bodega #2 clones are still struggling and I’m not sure they’re gonna make it. The grape punch and chem pie I cloned at the same time are already rooted, potted, and growing. That grape punch is looking like a beast though. She stretched like crazy and I had to use stakes as well as the elastic trellis. Still split the main stalk bending her down.

I grabbed a bunch more on the 50% off sale. I couldn't resist. Picked up skymaster, copper chem, tombstone, cali canyon, ghost town, western grail, animal star cookies, orange special blossom, and texas chem. I think I've got all I need from GPS for quite awhile. I've got purple cookie and banana punch that just got transplanted yesterday into 3 gal pots. Lookin good so far.

I quickly amassed about 65 strains in 2 months lol. Shit is getting crazy. I just dream of the days when I can move north and start growing outside again. Until then a huge seedbank and 37 tents will do :)
Yeah, I have some 45-50 ish strains of seeds waiting to be grown, and I only grow a couple strains at a time and clone the crap of them for years. So I have a decade worth of seeds here. At least.

Ever since I first joined the site, when I made a thread about my outdoor scrog grow last year and you joined that one, you’ve been my role model on the site for all things outdoor. That pic right there is why. Major props. Do you think I should put another layer of fencing on my outdoor stuff before they start budding? I’m worried about what will happen during the stormy season if the colas get too tall and heavy.
