I said I would post this awhile ago... Bucket(cooler) Tek coir/verm after 20 months.

I finally made it back to my mom's house and snapped a pic of a cooler I used for a bucket tek-esque project over a year and a half ago.

I know it looks like the white spots are moldy, but on closer inspection, it's just broken up vermiculite.



I know this is nothing groundbreaking, and we all knew coir was contam resistant anyways, but I figured I'd post this since I said I was going to awhile back.

No green, no lipstick, no yellow, just coir and verm chillin' in open air for nearly two years.

Open air being the key words. All these molds that we're worried about grow in enclosed, extreme humidity conditions.

I'm not into calling anyone out or anything but... this is useless.

Set little crumbs of manure out in the dry, open air. Come back two years later and I bet there's the manure... right where you left it. I'd guess there might be some fire fang mold.. but hell.. that's the beneficial stuff.

I can almost guarantee there are mold spores caught in that little bit of coir, and it's just not the right coniditions for them to grow.

Or try this:
Set some dry WBS out on the porch, and wait. As long as it stays dry and has a contiguous supply of fresh air, they won't contaminate.
Yet, prepare them and set them in an enclosed quart (high humidity, VERY low FAE) and yeah, the mold is going to prosper if it's present.

Not trying to be a dick, I'm just sayin. :shrug:

Why would you expect anything to grow without moisture?
