50/50 coir verm tek for trays in GH?

Is there one? If one was planning on just having trays in a gh? I gather it would require less substrate and spawn for each tray. What other factors might come into play, such as colonization and such? Would foil over the tray suffice or does it need to be placed into a tub with poly to colonize?

A lot of people confuse Damion5050's Coir Tek with a 50-50 Casing Layer Tek.
One is the guys name, and the tek is nowhere near 50-50.
The other is a casing layer tek.
A casing layer is a non nutritious top layer usually applied to a fully colonized bulk substrate for moisture retention and pinning.
P.Cubensis do no benefit from a casing layer.

Depends on the size of the tray. try going for a 3.5-4" substrate depth.

Foil or saran wrap over the tray to seal it off, and then a couple pin sized holes in the foil/wrap, to allow for GE. I would prefer saran wrap so it can get some ambient light, but foil is fine.
Colonization does not have to be done with the tray in a monotub, the tray can just be placed on a shelf for 2 weeks if it is covered.

Sweet. So this means it would require much less than 5 quarts of spawn, yes? 2 would suffice? And yea, just noticing I confused his name with 50/50 also. But I've never looked past much as I knew I was doing trays in gh so once I saw monotubs I skimmed past the actual ratios for the time being.

I would only suggest using less spawn if using less than a whole brick of coir...really u want a 1-3 spawn to substrate ratio at least,..... I shoot for 1-2 always tho.
Reminder for me tomorrow...I was drunk when I posted this...lol
