:whathesaid: I used a small tomato paste can to make my holes. It has about a 1 1/2" diameter. It's also a lot easier than going out to home depot and getting a hole saw and potentially cracking my tub in the process.

I used almost 2.5 inches for my recent monotub. Anything under 2 inches is a little thin, and it will be harder to keep the humidity levels up.

Is it weird that I like the smell of coco coir  This stuff is impressive!! I found my new favourite ingredient!  If my coir/Verm is to wet. Like it is. I squeeze tested it and water pours out. Can I use a pillow case to squeeze it out?

Why did you do this? No teks say to check on the coir after only 20 mins and add more water. How much did you add? 5qts is already on the high side for that recipe. When you added more you jacked that up further. You would probably be better off adding verm to soak up the excess.

I had no bucket. I had to improvise. But as soon as I did it I realized it was backwards. The water should be poured over top. I know I shouldn't have checked it but I was curious so I did and it was dry so I added some boiling water probably to much. It sat all nite it looks good just a little on the wet side. Can I fix it or should I just throw everything away all I've invested  I have to work with what I have available man.

I've made my coir too wet before. I just squeezed it out with my hands when I was making my monos. And yes, a pillowcase would work fine.

Microwave it hmm I wonder if I should do that. I added a good amount of extra I think half a litre lol :frown: it doesn't seem to be that bad just a little extra. The top is field capacity but the bottom stuff I squeeze and a stream of water comes out.

a microwave does nothing in this hobby except liquify agar plates.

try to chip off your coir brick before adding water, set the brick on its side and jam a screw driver or butter knife into it.
