What is the best COIR to use for monotub?
    #16185363 - 05/05/12 09:44 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I have been doing a lot of reading on monotubs. I have been successful with BRF cakes and want to move to a more natural and greater yielding growth.  I have seen lots of posts saying WBS/COIR is ideal for monotub.  Just wondering if anyone has suggestions to the best COIR to be used...it would be great if you could include pics of the results also.

Very nice my friend. Also what is the ratio of COIR/substrate you use?

If you have a local pet store check there - they should have some in the reptile/small animal section. (It's often used for bedding.)

Local pet store for coir.  Mr. Wilson, peat is not suitable for a substrate, though it is a common ingredient in casing mixes.

That's pretty much it. Just boil five quarts of water, then add to a 5 gallon bucket with 1 brick of coir and 2 quarts of verm in it. Then, put the lid on the bucket and DON'T open it until it is completely cool, I let mine sit over night.

After that, just mix your spawn and the substrate together in your monotub, leaving a top layer of only substrate to act as a contaminate barrier.

I order my coir from amazon the pet stores around here seem to not carry it all the time, make sure it is coconut fiber NOT coconut husk. burma is my absolute favorite cube (besides pe of course) i have four monos of burma with coir that are pinning now i'm going to post a log in a few days keep a look out if you want to see the results

Use rye berries instead of WBS if you can find them.
