how much will coir expand?
    #8476542 - 06/02/08 08:11 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Ive got a brick of Bed A Beast.
How much will that expand to, after pasteurization, and drying?
I have 4 qts of sub, and am spawning to coffee grounds and coir....do i have enough coir?

We have a basic pf tek that's idiot proof enough for noobs to get fucked up with their friends. 

Mycologists on the other hand grow for the love of growing.  They want to experiment with various species, substrates, and fruiting environments. They'll move on to isolate strains, attempt hybridization, and in general treat cultivation as an artform, rather than a chore that must be performed as a means to an end.  They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection.  These are the ones who will isolate strains, not the dumb fucks who treat mushrooms as a drug, or even worse, a pathogen, as if mushrooms cause disease.

You must have a HUGE fucking brick. 90 liters equals roughly 95 quarts! That i find to be a little excessive.

The bed-a-beast company advertises that it will expand to 31 cups which equals 7.75 quarts.

also...4 qts of spawn. approximately 9 qts of coir (from one brick).
To do the 1:4 ratio, i would need to use 7 qts of coffee grounds?
