Is there any negatives to sterilizing or do you think its best to be on the safe side and sterilize it?

i only sterilize to store it. sometimes i find myself only needing to spawn a small amount.
so i sterilize the rest in bags so i can use it on the fly:cool: either way. coco coir is awesome. i wish i grew coconuts.

Oh ok good to know, i guess im gonna try the bucket tek then. Definitely seems like the easiest way.

Are coir and vermiculite both pretty contam resistant? Because ive heard many people mention that coir doesnt require pasterizing but nothing about vermiculite.

coir is like a reptiles cat litter. verm is a rock. mold will grow on coco but it doesnt seem to germinate. hence the importance of clean spawn.

Update to OP.

Quote:

This tek is pretty much overkill if you are using CVG. However, it can also be used for bulk pasteurization.

Is it possible to prepare this in advance? After some research i realized my rye grain jars arent quite fully colonized (soo close). For example, could I store this away for a week and use it then? I prepared it exactly to the recipe so it is not sterilized.

This recipe makes around 10 quarts, most bricks of coir are about 650g and expand to approximately 7-9 quarts.
So perhaps just use a quarter of the recipe to get around 2 quarts, you could probably use a lot less gypsum too.

"2% to 3% by dry weight or just add a tablespoon or two of gypsum to the amount of coir to fill a small tray."

Your coir should say how much it expands. Then add your verm if you wana use that stuff.

That's a 1:1 ratio with 2 quarts of sub. It's not an exact science but that will work well. I'd personally recommend 1:2 but it's all about finding what works for you. Anything between 1:1 to 1:4 works well, some people stretch their spawn even farther.

Best of luck!:rockon:

1.2 ratio? Ok i will try that sorry for seeming ignorant but would you mean double the amount of sub to 4 quarts for my 8 cakes?

1:2 = 1 part spawn to 2 parts substrate, so yeah that's correct. :thumbup:

Thanks, one more thing just out of curiosity. When applying the 1:2 ratio would you measure it by volume or weight? For instance once ive cooked and hydrated my cvg to get an exact measurement would i weigh or measure mass?
