Straight coir field capacity
    #23188693 - 05/04/16 01:27 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Now we all know the 5050 coir tek using verm.

What abouts using just coir. 3.5 qts  for field capacity maybe?

I think it's about 3.5 anyway which has worked for me. I just know which mark on my pot to fill the water up to.

If I remember 4qts was too wet without verm.

Anyone have a thought on it? How much will a 650g brick hold?
How many?
You may choose only one

You should use the minimum amount for a successful bucket-tek, assuming that's what you are going to use. You can pour the boiling water slowly and break the coir with a fork to leave it a bit on the dry side and keep the amount you used in mind. You only need to do that once after all, then you are all set.

I still used less water than the tek called for, even though I got perfect field capacity if I followed it. That way it's easier to add water than remove it in the end.

4 really? I tried 4 and when I squeezed I got a stream of water.


Maybe I'm just like way super dooper stronger than you. (hulk smash)



Yeah I dialed in the amount quite some time ago but I have recently had to use a different pot and neglected to pour measured water from the old pot into the new one.

I had a little squeezing to do so maybe 3.5 would be better.
