Damions method is not true pasteurization. Works sometimes.
I always properly pasteurized subs also.




Had to mix it up :awethumb:

This is how I've had good success.

1 bake coarse verm in tinfoil container
2 Drill bricks while they are still in 3 pack.  just a few holes thru the core of the brick.
3 put a little more than a gallon of neutral ph water on the stove.
4 set aside drill dust and plastic.
5 clean interior of buckets and lids
6 place bricks in buckets.
7 boil water
8 pour water over brick
9 wait to stir
10 eventually mix in verm. You could even wait till spawning.

Basically it just reserves your hot pasteurization broth for the coir rather than allowing the verm to soak it all up. The holes in the brick allow the fluid to get to the center of the brick faster and the removal of dust will prevent less coir from billowing out of your bucket on a steam bloom.

There are pre hydrated coir mixes for hydroponics that are packaged pasteurized.  I have yet to see a weight by moisture content comparison vs daimons bucket coir.  Its definitely more expensive.

Its not too wet so whatever moister was nessicary could be add with the verm.

I usually do proper pasteurization but i been trying to give the bucket tek another chance and so far i've given it 3 lol and ended up with a new reason it upset me.  But even if i wanted to do proper vs the bucket i need the coir to expand.

I tossed the 3 remaining blocks in the trash not fucking around with them anymore.  I found some loose coir in my supply bin ill just use that and make me some jars and cook them up.  That way i can mix in my worm castings and such.

I have had this problem on my first brick, now i break up the brick and mix evenly with the added verm before i add the boiling water...then this will never happen.

I never had this problem before whether i left the brick as a whole or if i broke the brick up in to small pieces.  Or if i mix the verm and the coir pieces.  It just been odd.  Its almost as if the universe does not want me to make spawn this time lol.  But ill find away.

I made the mistake of dumping the last bucket down the garbage disposal and clogging the lines was a mess.  Again what seems to be the easiest way just doesnt turn out that way lol.  That or its my luck has gone to shit.

The only way the coir that made it thru the garbadge disposal could have clogged the line is if the line was already partially blocked, try pouring boiling water down the pipe, but never use drano..."Would drano let u hurt your pipes?" Fuck yea, that shyt eats right thru em! Drano makes me money!

It's not a conspiracy, they just flat out lie about their product...

It contains a base that eats away at the seals on your pipes and causes leaks, also if let sit in the P-Trap, it will eat a hole straight thru it, seen it many times, and the shit stinks, I actually charge a customer more if they used drano before they called me, because now i have to handle and dispose of that nasty shit.

Ok, enough for the off topic plumbing discussion......lol

Oh i just took the line apart and cleared the clog.  After all i had a bucket for the water to collect into :P  Also got me to clean out under the sink for once.  Only thing i was scared ab out when it happened was that i fucked the blades on the disposal.  I dont know why i thought that would be an easier way to dispose of it.

However, if I were in fact being gay you would definitely have to charge me extra, because I'm quite positive there are some volatile substances in my "P-trap".
