First semi-successful coir grow (some meh porn pics)
    #9269850 - 11/18/08 11:16 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

So this is one of my shot guns sitting in my walk in closet:



And now here are the mushrooms from my first coir attempt:



Rye spawned to straight coir, cased with 50/50. To give you a good idea of the size, the biggest mushroom in the front is about 4 inches. Problem is, the coir wasn't at field capacity. I squeezed the stuff so hard that it seems like it was too dry (with a very hard squeeze, only a few drops would come out). I'm guessing that's why the pins are a little thin and meh-looking or could it be another reason?

Is there any way I can improve the size of the next flush? Dunking, maybe?--I plan to just run water gently down the bowl for about 3 hours, will this suffice?

It's a hygrometer bought from a local cigar shop.

-Boil water with coir at 160 degrees F for 2 hours, maintain temp, cover and let cool.
-Then I squeeze the coir very hard until it's moist but not wet (however I plan to squeeze less next time).
-Then put in tray and mix with your spawn and incubate.

You don't want to squeeze it hard to get a few drops out, it more like a slightly firm grip. nothing crazy

Yeah, I figured. Won't make that mistake again.

Anyone know how long I should run the bowl under the faucet for? I'm new to "dunking" bulk :o
