I'm a newb but here's my advice
mix the coco and the water first,
let it expand
then add verm after



does anyone know if there is any difference between doing this or adding the verm first like in frank's tek?  I had this exact same problem yesterday, I had to break it up a bunch, as well as pour a little more water on top of the chunk that just wouldn't hydrate...  added some verm to keep it at field capacity, ended up without any chunks, but letting the brick hydrate by itself and then adding the verm seems like it would be a hell of a lot more convenient...

dude do it however u want!

just make sure to properly pasteurize it all every time so that u eliminate one more variable that could go wrong in ur grow

bucket tek works for most ppl frequently enough, but sometimes it fails, and what if one of the failures ends up being ur grow?  u will be scratching ur head wondering if it was ur spawn or the sub, whereas if u properly pasteurize, u will know, if it con tams before/during 1st flush it is 99% likely that it was ur spawn, which could prevent ur future grows going sour as well, because now u know those 10 other quarts of spawn made the same day, same agar plate/lc/G2G is equally at risk for failure.

know what I mean? reducing the variables is super important to get any good at this hobby.
