noob before the storm

i been doing pf tek for a whille now and i have been briefly researching monotubs and casings for my next grow because i want to grow bulk....so basically my plan is to do a monotub with WBS and case with straight coir....now i no ppl have problems with casing straight to coir cuz of overlay and some dont, but i read some outdated info. Also i am always coming across teks thats tell u to add other additaves like gypsum and shit but do i REALLY need all that? and if i do then what would be the most essential one to get. and i was just wondering, how does a monotub maintain humidity without perlite or something else...is it the substrate? my last stupid questions are , can i spawn to coir and then case with coir...does the 50/50 tek NEED gypsum? i no for sure a pressure cooker is needed but my pressure cooker doesnt seal well so pressure is not maintained and i heard of boiling it for 3 days or w.e and that will be just as good...is that true? i forget the scientific term for that but i read about it.
just help a noob

spawn to coir and case with 50/50+
coir is good by it self but you can add cofee/gypsum in the coir they are optional but recomended. And don't case with coir, not because of overlay but because a casing layer should not be nutritive.
not sure about adding gypsum in casing mix but I don't think it will hurt, I think you can put a bit too.
about the humidity, the substrate to it by its own. the casing will help too.

Save yourself the trouble and stick to the pf-tek until you can get a working pc.

i think any coffee will work as long as it is spent. dont use fresh coffee, use coffee grounds that were already used. part of the reason to use a casing is that the myc thinks it is running out of food and it triggers pinning, so thats why you want to use non nutritive substance such as 50/50. i actually just read that yesterday. could be false though, i read it on another site.
boiling wbs for three days??? just soak, rinse, rinse rinse and rinse again(till the rinse water is clear) drain and pc(if you can). do some research im sure you can find some kind of tech to help you.

I wouldn't consider it a viable option by any means. You would be better off using pf cakes as spawn if you fail to get a pc. As for coffee any spent grounds work. Go to Starbucks you can get them by the fuck load for free.
