wondering about different substrates and if other's mixtures might have
more to offer as far as nutrients and better growth? ground flax seed as opposed to brown rice flour? suggestions?

I use BRF/verm on my little cake growing operaton and they come out just as good as Trout's popcorn  ^_^  There's lots of ways, wait till the pro's weigh in. Experimentation -  I see a lot of here~!!

IMO, grains are grains. I've used dif mixes of grains and haven't really noticed a difference. I guess you want to substitute something else in PF Tek. I wouldn't bother. Whole grains and bulk subs like straw, compost, castings, and manure are probably going to have more nutrients that the fungus can use.
    Here is a substrate formula that claims to be better. Try it out, see what you think.

Fattrout,
  Sounds sweet!   Something like a Fattrout Moonshine Mix!  lol  That Millet and Popcorn should run through that Brn Rice in no time.

  I know what you mean.  I had no time to really play for a while, with expanding the studios and all. 
  But, I just knocked a dozed Costa Rica qts, 2 doz pts of Cambo, and another dozen mixed of Malabar/ B+ qts .  I guess I will farm through the holidays, because I'll be kickin' boots with shows after New Years.
  Now, I'm mostly sitting on the outside grows which should Explode next week,...  I hope in time for Thanksgiving!  And this months contest too!        -_-
  Til then, it's all about Maxin' and Relaxin' with those vaccum packed ounces I have been storing all year!   
    Life is Soooo Good!        ^_^
