How much water to use for this bulk sub?
    #10615949 - 07/03/09 01:49 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

I'm about to pasteurize a bulk sub.

1 quart poo, 1 quart verm, 1 quart coffee, 1 quart gypsum, 5/8's of a brick of coir which would total me 9 quarts of bulk sub.  Add on 3 quarts of spawn and that gives me 12 quarts for my 27 qt bin.

How much water do I want to use to pasteurize all of this sub, and can I throw all of it in there at once? Then dump in the tub?  or should I let it sit and cool in a bucket overnight? Lid on or off?

First monotub, im almost there, thanks guys.

There is no magic number you have to bring it to the proper moisture level by giving it a squeeze..

Your question is vague.  Are you looking to find out how much water to ADD to your substrate, or are you talking about using hot water as a means to pasteurize your substrate?

If you're ADDING water to your substrate, take it to field capacity.  If you don't know what field capacity is, do a search.

As far as a means to pasteurize, I couldn't tell ya, because I use oven bags.

I learned of the field capacity, and how to check to see if it IS at field capacity.  I'm looking to ADD water to whatever I throw in the pot.  So my question is how much water would I ADD to 9 quarts of substrate for when I pasteurize for 3 hours at 160-170 F?

Sorry if it was vague.
