Important Principles for using Organic Mycroliquid

by

Considerations with using Organic Mycroliquid (OML)

 

It is becoming obvious that because every farm is different and environment and casing materials are slightly, there is no fixed way to use this product, so it will involve a little cross testing to find out what works best on your farm.

 

The KEY POINTS and PRINCIPLES to consider are:

 

  1. Dose: 130ml vs 260ml. Higher dose = higher yield
  2. Dilution: minimum needs to be 3:1, but 7-8:1 seems good overall
  3. Position: keep product on top of the casing (in the pinning zone)
  4. Activity: Temperature/Metabolic rate is important for mycelium feeding (as always); end of case run pretty much guarantees this but need to consider 2nd dose ie not at the end of watering when all activity and metabolism slowed in 2nd flush*

 

*compromise in farms when a lot of mushrooms still on day of clearing 1st and need to water immediately, we suggest putting OML on last water of the day eg if it is 8L after flush off; put  6L water on then 2L OML application. Leave overnight to react with good activity in beds still, then remaining water following day.

Easy way to mix concentrated Mycroliquid in IBC before decanting and dilution

by

Using a simple submersible pump. This model is 10000L per hour capacity.

Dropped through the neck of the IBC and left for a period does a fantastic job.

Another possibility is a 4″ well pump that will drop straight through.

The best all around way is to have a pump connected to IBC with a recirc loop and tap back to top of iBC

and  a T for decanting product when ready. This way the IBC can be left in place while being emptied.

 

 

 

Here it s in action…..

Independent Report

by

We commissioned Prof Ralph Noble to conduct an independent test on our casing complement. Herewith is the summary report

NOTE: Due to circumstances Ralph  was not able to put extra water in for 2nd flush which is what our customers do to increase and improve 2nd flushes. Ralph used a slightly different protocol to normal applications in case run and post 1st as some growers want to apply pre 1st flush and these tests were to prove that could be done without causing bacterial blotch or reducing whiteness which was of course the case.
