2.5Qt Sterilite. Anyone done one before?
    #10106585 - 04/04/09 06:44 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Well while I wait for my G2G jars to colonize I thought I would use some of a pint G2G master and make a 2.5Qt mini grow.

Has anyone else used the 2.5Qt before?

Im thinking:
1"x1" cube of coir
pint of boiling water
3/4 pint of verm/coffee

Spread out 2.5" of that into the tub and mix with about 1/4 pint of spawn.

What do you guys think?

I have 2qt tubs, and I've used them as mini tubs, but they're not tall enough to do monotubs, so I have to put them in a FC.

Basically I do 1:2 spawn ratio (1 pint spawn 2 pints coir/coffee mix) I expanded a whole brick of coir, so I can't say what size it is unexpanded, then I just filled a quart jar with it. I mixed the coffee/coir and wet to field capacity then pasteurized and mixed it all up.

Hope it goes well :thumbup:

if you have more I'd suggest going 'dub tub' on them... flip one up side down over the top of the substrate tub

Someone on here, I'm actually thinking it was RedBeerd suggested that he cuts his eco earth bricks in 8th's (1 " pieces) and each piece equals a quart of expand coir.

This is completely dependent on the average size of that brand of coir.  So what I would suggest is you expand one whole brick, see what the average total volume is.  And then use that to base how much to cut off the brick.
