Add it to the tek. Put all dry ingredients in the bucket before pouring water over them. I would do 1-2 pints of gypsum.

If I wanted to use this tek for a mono and I want to add gypsum. Do I add it to the tek or wait and add it when I mix with spawn?

Just thought I'd chime in and say that a good way to add gypsum is to stir it into the boiling water before dumping it on the coir.

Less spawn will work. I would not go above a 1:5 ratio w/ coir though. If you use wheat straw, you can go higher, say 1:10, but remember - the more spawn you use, the more food /nutrition for your mush - AND the less time it will take to fully colonize, as you will have more inoc points.

Damion,

Question for you... I made these bags and I didnt really measure how much I put in (Yea Im a Noob)I plan on using your tek with these, but I wonder, would you be able to eyeball if I should use one bag or both with the 18 gal/Coir/Verm recipe?

Also how close would you guess the left bag is? These have been colonizing very slow for over a month.

Thanks!

I would say probably both bags lol to be on the safe side. U can always weight the bags then say a bag weights 2 lbs u know u could use 4lbs of bulk substrate per bag.

I normally put in 5 quarts of Rye into each bag I use.

i'd do two monotubs with those two bags, personally.

i'd rather wait a few more days for colonization, and get two tubs. but its up to you
