Are they the exact same?
    #18722607 - 08/18/13 12:10 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Alright, so I just laid some colonized grains in an aluminum foil pan today for my first every fruiting attempt!! (All my pf tek went to shit besides two BRF jars I did along with my grain jars using the same syringe). They'll be finishing the colonization inside the incubator chamber for two days before I'll check em and hopefully be able to put them into my SGFC. But I have a question as to the substrate I used for my layers above and below the grain.

So are these two types of coir the exact same kind?

*^Kind I DID NOT GET, but is shown in most of the coir/verm teks I've looked over.

*^Kind I DID get and used for my pans today.

So my questions are: Are these the exact same kinds just different brand packaging?
2. In your experience, how has Zoo Med Compressed Fiber worked in your experience?
3. Based on my colonization times of the jars (only 2 weeks, first time doing grains :crazy2:) should two days more of colonizing be enough for them to go fruiting?


Thank you in advance.

The coir is just fine. No you need at min a couple weeks to colonize. You need to read up about using mono tubs and ditch the SGFC

According to my tek, I will never need mono's and this is adapted to my limited space situation while also maintaining the most economically beneficial way of living.

Your yields will suck though.

Use bulk and a monotub.

Those links you posted are both exactly the same. It even says "Zoo Med Eco Earth" in both of the descriptions. The only difference is what side of the label is in the pic.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.

But thats completely wrong... you can produce 3-5x more yield using less space than a SGFC with a MONO tub.
