I am assuming the coir tek is pretty solid, I am very familar with perlite and coir in hydroponic applications.

You'll be fine with coir even if you fuck up pasteurization but try proper pasteurization it's just as easy, a bit more time consuming but this hobby is worth the work you put in even if you're just looking for a handful to eat.

Take a look at the bulk bricks in a SGFC link in my sig. You can use cakes instead of the coir. Frankhorrigan has a coir prep tek too as well as proper pasteurization info

Cool albinos, how well do the bulk cakes dunk?

I don't dunk mine, some do, I prefer the heavy misting after letting it rest a day or two after a flush is harvested

don't dunk bulk. just wet it down good after the first flush. I think you're in the right direction with bulk coir. best to keep it simple the first few times to get used to it. I have a more complicated bulk in my sig if you wanna check it out. good luck

how many brf 1pint jars should I use in a 55l mono tub with coir/verm sub? I know I should just use Rye for this.
