Ok I decided not to mix the bulk with the spawn till tomorrow. 1.Will the hydrated coir be ok sitting for 24 hrs or should I just redo with a new brick of coir?
2.Also, should I be keeping tabs on how hot the water is before putting into the 5 gallon bucket with the coir and verm? My friend told me that if it is too hot then it will kill everything, but I didn't see any warnings about that while I was researching.

Water temp doesn't matter with just coir and verm, if you were using poo then you have to keep it below a certain temp when pasteurizing. Coir will be fine sitting for a day or two as long as it is in a sealed bucket. I like to pour the boiling water on mine let it sit an hour or so and then add the verm and mix it b4 replacing lid and letting it sit to cool.

Excellent tip! Has been noted for future reference! :-)

Ok cool.
Yeah my lid was cling wrap with a piece of cardboard on top. I will probably just redo it since the lid isn't totally sealed.

Sealing the lid is to hold in the heat making it kinda pasteurize the coir, you should be good as long as it was covered, coir is very contam resistant and if you used boiling water it most likely killed most contams. I would just use it unless it has been sitting more than a couple days.

Think I'm going to take all the polyfill out and just hold off on the misting and fanning.
