one thing i do for perfect water level in substrate
is i will throw all my sub into a pillow case
then dunk that in water a few times to get it all soaked
then i ring out the pillow case , just keep twisting and pushing it into a tight ball
then let it sit for a little while , hasent failed me yet

if you can squeeze water out of the "bundle" then its to wet

Yea, that's an excellent method for small batch prep.

small batch prep..?

what are you calling your prep here , big money prep?

i can do 4 times the amount you can with your way
by doing it my way

and after you have the pillow cases with the substate just throw them in a setup with a
steamer thing ,

it doesent get easier then pillow case to steaming pasteurization

You don't want to use the pillowcase method for the amount of substrate I prepare.

I prepare about 40 lbs. (pre-hydration) a day. Thats a lot of wringing man.

I'm not knocking the method at all. Its a good method. I'm just saying for the amount that I grow it would take a lot longer to do it that way. I prep 5 buckets a day with this tek.

Way too much wringing. Instead of wringing I just add H2O a lil at a time until I hit the correct moisture content.

Thats the key to the tittle of this thread  "BULK"

Every single thing I do is measured and premeditated. I usually like to think before making the next move. 

I just love math, physics, and chemistry Science and thats just how things wound up in my life. :shrug: I'm a weirdo. But it serves its benefit.

Oh,.. I stopped measuring that ages ago.

Doling out .2 on the scale every-time you want to smoke a bowl gets rather tiresome.

I'm getting too old for other drugs, can only handle cubes a time or two per year at this point, and that trend is decreasing linearly vs time.

19" x8 inches, with a 4 1/2" side gusset

exactly like the ones at the bottom of the page; regular not large.

I actually cut the bag bellow the filter patch after zip-tying so I don't use the patches for subs. I use the same bags for grain spawn too.

I don't know why countertop roasters arent more popular?

Thanks to you Pinhead I bought a roaster today. I wanted something smaller than the 55 g drum to do stuff like small batches of casing or whatever. It's going in there right now. I'll let ya know how it goes. So far it's awesome, just turn on and walk away. Thanks......MM

Isn't a brick of coir about 7 liters(or quarts)? If so you're using about twice  as much poo as coir? I don't have any gypsum so I'll probably just skip it this go around. I'm sure it'll work without it, right?......MM

It should be ok but I'd get some for next time. You use a half a brick of coir. Its 7qts hpoo (~2lbs.), 3.5 liters coir(~1/2brick)

ANd yea, you want more poo. It is where all the nutes come from.

its [60/40/10/10] = {poo/coir/gypsum/verm}
