First time growing Pink Oysters. Grow tent at 73-75Β°f and RH around 93. Aspen wood chips soaked in hydrated lime, drained then mixed with colonized grain bag. Started to pin a few days ago but noticed they’re starting to turn yellow. Any feedback or advice to help me do better would be appreciated!

[Technique] Why can't I use hydrated lime to pasteurize my masters mix blocks?

They use hydrated lime to cold pasteurize straw for oyster growing.... Why can't I use that water in my unicorn bags with Masters mix? And skip steam pasteurization.

Is the Hydrated Lime sold at Home Depot/Lowes OK for making Lime Mortar?

Hi. I was planning on experimenting with repointing a section of wall in my old stone basement that is flaking and dropping mortar. Everyone says to use a lime mortar and to avoid any portland cement mixes.

The only premixed Lime Mortar stuff I can find is online is Hydraulic Lime Mortar, but that it is a lot more expensive per bag than the cement mixes.

So I wanted to see if I could make my own Lime Mortar mix, but I don't know what the ingredients are or how many parts of each to mix. I also read it takes a couple days to actually prepare the mix for pointing. But not sure.

Quickrete sells bags of Hydrate Lime Type S at my local store for about $10 a bag, but I don't know if that's the right stuff to use or not. I'm also not sure if it has cement in it or not. The bag says it's compoased of cement, but the website descriptions say it CAN be blended with cement. Not sure if it's already got cement in it or not?

I can't find any other type of masonry Hydraulic Lime products in my local stores and I'm skeptical of having stuff delivered that doesn't wind up getting hard in delivery due to humidity getting inside the bag.

Not sure what to get that's not really expensive that I could mix myself.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Questions about using Hydrated Lime (CaOH) to raise pH to avoid trich contamination

My first grow looked like it was going to be amazing….. until both my tubs got the dreaded Trich a few days after introducing FAE. This got me onto a lot of research for how I’d approach my next grow, and I have mainly found vague information about β€˜hydrated lime’ as the potential solution. I would like to hear peoples’ varied experiences and opinions about the best way to approach this method. My questions are:

- What pH have you found to be the most successful for both trich reduction & benefit to mushroom growth? I have seen answers range all the way from 8 - 11. ((My current assumption is about 9))

- In my experience, the trich grew near the bottom of the tub as well as the top. Is there benefit to pH treating the entire substrate mix (100% coir), or JUST the casing layer? ((My current assumption is treating the entire substrate, and just putting on a very thin casing layer of the same stuff))

- Previously, my method was simply adding boiling water to the coir inside a bucket, and putting the lid on overnight. However, I have read about potential safety issues of adding hydrated lime to hot water. Can I pasteurise with cold water, at what stage should the hydrated lime be added, and when should I be using the pH strip to test? ((My current assumption is using cold distilled water, mixing in approximately 2g hydrated lime per litre of water, testing the pH to get it around 9, adding it to the coir and mixing thoroughly, and testing the pH again to confirm it’s right before leaving overnight))

Any science, opinions or anecdotal experiences welcome & appreciated!

Hydrated lime?

I’ve heard that adding hydrated lime to your bulk substrate can make it more contam resistant but haven’t been able to figure out how much to add. This was going to be my recipe: 650g Coir, 8 cups verm, 1 cup gypsum, and 18 cups distilled water. Anyone have any advice on adding lime/how much to add?

Peat moss, hydrated lime, and soil pH

Hi everyone,

I filled a 8’x4’ raised bed (about 1.5 feet deep) with the following:

1/3 Peat moss 1/3 finished compost 1/3 vermiculite

And I realized shortly after that the canadian sphagum peat moss brand I used (Premier) has a pH of 4. Knew it was acidic, but damn!

So now I’m thinking I’ll have to lime the piss out of it to raise it ~2 points. I don’t have any soil pH tests (and I’m finding that the only trustable test is in a lab or with the $200 pH testers).

I got a 5 pound bag of hydrated lime and figured this should be more than enough.. Hopefully within 1-2 months it’ll be in that sweet spot?

Would love any and all insight if folks have experience with this - Looking to plant tomatoes throughout this bed (and want to avoid the dreaded blossom end rot!)

Thanks!

Concrete Water Tank Repair. Does a hydrated lime slurry seal cracks? Concrete is clever and seals itself? New Zealand.

I have an old 15,000 litre (3000 gals) concrete water tank which collects rainwater. There are some cracks in the wall. Previously the cracks have been sealed by painting Sika products on the inside wall, plus trying a bitumen paint, plus plumbers tape.

These have worked for 20 years but now the entire winter's rain fall has leaked out, through a crack where the wall joins the base. A glassful a minute but that was enough.

I did read that putting a hydrated lime slurry around the inside would be an effective long term fix.

The logic is that cement when bound in concrete will slowly dissolve when exposed to water. The cement will seep into a crack and once there it binds to any sand thus sealing it.

The hydrated lime is an active ingredient in cement so the wash adds new binding chemicals to be absorbed by the concrete. It is used by people to add to standard cements - beyond me though.

Any thoughts?
