Not So Simple Substrate: Your Guide to Superior Growth
Not So Simple Substrate – Premium substrate blend designed for consistent performance.
Choosing the right substrate plays a key role in building a stable and reliable mycology workflow. Not So Simple Substrate is a nutrient-enhanced, ready-to-use blend from Mycology Simplified, developed to support consistent results and improved performance across a wide range of applications.
What Makes Not So Simple Substrate Different?
Not So Simple Substrate builds on the classic Coco Coir, Vermiculite, and Gypsum (CVG) foundation by incorporating additional components to create a more balanced and nutrient-rich environment.
- Coco Coir: Helps retain moisture while maintaining structure
- Vermiculite: Improves moisture distribution and aeration
- Worm Castings: Adds organic nutrients and microbial diversity
- Azomite: Provides a broad spectrum of trace minerals
- Erythritol: A light carbohydrate source included in small amounts
Why Choose This Blend?
This substrate is designed to provide a more nutrient-dense alternative to standard CVG mixes, helping support faster development, improved consistency, and stronger overall performance.
How It’s Made
Each batch is prepared using hydrated coco coir and vermiculite, then blended with worm castings, Azomite, and gypsum. The substrate is processed under controlled conditions and sealed to maintain quality during storage and shipping.
Processing Method
All substrate is treated using high-temperature processing to reduce unwanted variables and help ensure a clean, consistent product upon arrival.
Benefits of Not So Simple Substrate
1. Nutrient-Rich Composition
The added components provide a more complete environment compared to basic CVG mixes, supporting more consistent performance across batches.
2. Improved Efficiency
The balanced composition allows for faster and more even distribution when combined with prepared materials.
3. Consistent Results
The combination of minerals and organic inputs helps create a stable environment that performs reliably over time.
How to Use
Not So Simple Substrate is designed to be simple to work with:
- Start with properly prepared grain-based material
- Break up and mix evenly with the substrate in a container
- Store in a stable environment to allow development
- Maintain consistent environmental conditions throughout the process
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place between 45°F and 70°F. When stored properly, vacuum-sealed substrate can maintain quality for up to 2 months.
