Coir Question for Coir Users

#12199813 - 03/14/10 10:59 AM (16 years, 6 months ago)

I was looking over large_doses tek and I noticed he uses bed-a-beast. They come in 1.5 lb blocks.

Now the other day I was in the pet shop looking at coir (a different brand) and they said 19.2 OZ. a difference of 5 OZ.

Would it just make sense to weight out 24 ounces of the other brand to equal the 1.5 lb of the bed-a-beast to keep the measurements relative?

It's nothing really to worry about.
If you feel better, just use a little less of everything, so you stick to the advised amounts.

In the end, there shouldn't be any different noticeable.

yes but Im sure 5 oz + or - makes a difference considering coir expands so much.

soup is easier.

why? 5 oz isnt 20% of 1.5 lbs

This is why I called the thread "Coir question for Coir Users."

I dont know how much this will help you but... the coir I use is Coco Tek and comes in 1.43lb bricks. My tubs are around 60L and I use 2 bricks every time and end up with some leftover (this gets saved)

Then adjust by adding 5/24 more.

Which is to say, 20%.

This is why I called the thread "Coir question for Coir Users."

5 oz. is 20% of 25 oz. 1.5 lb is 24 oz., damn close, and I am a "coir user".

I would just dry it out again unless you spawn often.

I just let it dry out then re-hydrate it and pasteurize again when I am ready to use it
