Well it's anti-microbial so that's probably good. I got loose coir at the pet store so I wouldn't have to soak the bricks. It was a little more expensive. But it was fine and not large pieces like what you there.

Hello everyone, so i finally got my hand on some coco coir. I ended up using 4 quarts of the coco coir and 2 quarts as Whippy had helped me understand, along with the 2 quarts of popcorn spawn. I pasteurized in jars through Frank Horrigans instructions. I basically followed all his tuts. I also soaked the popcorn for 30 mins after a quick shake. The substrate wasnt as tall as i wanted it to be. I was shooting for 2 inches but its at about 1.6-1.75 inches. I bought jiffy quick seed starter mix to do a casing layer per Frank Horrigans 50/50+ case mix write up. Here are some pics of the fruiting set up.

matteo89,
Looking pretty good. As long as your sub isn't too thick you will be fine.
I tried the same thing with 100% poo and at 14" deep and it didn't produce well. Looked great at first but ended up with a contam. This isn't recommended and was a long time ago.
With your sub, and sub thickness, I'm expecting great things.

    I'm awesome sauce with a dash of sunshine.

Really aprreciate the kind words, im in awe of how smooth its been going since its my first run, so im basically letting them do their own work. I was planning on doing a casing layer just howw FrankHorrigan wrote up, and later today im going to place some sub along the walls where the myc is growing onto the bag. somewhere in one of Frank's write ups he talks about how it helps to grow an even level of fruits or with sidepinning, i forgot why he did it but im gonna do it haha, so cronicr keep an eye out for that.

Here we are at 90% colonizationi would say on xmas day. Will be pasteurizing the casing layer tonite, and hopefully casing tomorrow morning. Again im using Frank Horrigan's write ups as i continue on till fruiting. Its been an excelllent guide throughout this whole process, and i owe it to him and everyone that has put in their kind input along the way. PE is my favorite strand so i hope to be just as useful in sharing knowledge on this strain just as well as Frank has helped me out. Any questions, concerns, advice, feel free to post away.

And how exactly do you know when that is without looking?
I usually give my tubs 2 days, then Ill crack the lid just enough to look and make sure it's still clean and to watch for 100% colonization about once a day, maybe every other day if it's a little cold.
If your spawn was clean and your pasteurization was good it won't be a problem.

Woke up to this this morning. Pretty bummed out. Im pretty sure its trich. IDK what could have gone wrong, if anyone can chime in. Personally i think i might have pasteurized the casing for too long, making temps go to high around 180-190. If anyone can give me more input. Ive read that you can dig out the affected area, aand cure with some salt and H2O2. Should i bother or just dump it all? regardless it was all a learning experience, and i have enough of everything to give it another go.
