Pasteurize vs bucket tek for coir? What do you do?
    #23571294 - 08/23/16 11:48 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I did bucket for a while with no issues, but then I ran into contams.  It could have likely been possibly due to the fact my verm and coir were being stored in a dirty old garage. But I don't know. After a stretch of like 10 tubs or so that we're fine with bucket I got trich in 2, so after that I started to pasteurize.  It's been a few years since I've done tubs and have propane heat now so it's fairly expensive to have to pasteurize, on top of Pc'ing grain, so I'm gonna go back to bucket tek I'm thinking. Just curious what status quo is. Or just personal preferences. Bucket tek is just so wonderfully quick and easy.  I think between my work space being cleaner I should get away fairly unscathed. Just wondering some others .02.

I know you gotta pasteurize hpoo. Are you saying you can pc coir?  If so, how long for?  I heard sterilizing coir can make more susceptible to contams.  I am only interested in hearing about coir however,k as I've yet to get into hpoo for anything but outdoor beds.  One of these days, but so far I'm happy with coir verm n gypsum. Just curious what people do for cvg. I'll poly do maybe a couple tubs bucket tek and a couple pasteurize, but still curious on some others input and experience.

Sorry. Just reread your last thread. So yea, I pasteurized in my pc in the past but didn't straight pc it ever. I gather that wouldn't be as much of a hassle as pasteurization.

I have been sterilizing for a while and definitely prefer it. Although bucket tek works fine as long as your spawn is clean(usually if I get trich it's due to bacterial spawn) the more you cook it the easier it is for the myc to digest it.

It definitely does not need pasteurizing as there are no beneficial microbes  to save and it is resistant to contam and mold spore germination.

also so your not taking up room in the pc you can bucket tek in turkey bags and then place the bags in the oven and bake to get the full cooking process as Inocuole does in this tek bucket oven tek

I pasterize everything besides grains now. I had the worst luck with contams even without spawn. Thing about coir is its contam prove most of the time. But not all. The argument has been made that there aren't any benefits microbial life on it. That was never a proper argument when it comes to why Pasteur vs sterile. Neither straw or coir have such a life forum on it. Shit does. Anything can be taken over by life if it has a high sugars load

I fully advocate sterilizing coir.  If your coir isn't clean it won't matter whether it's pasteurized or sterilized anyway.  Like if there were a grain in it, you don't pasteurize grains, therefore failure.  Straw does require pasteurization, not sure why you're lumping it in with coir.

A lot of your posts have been shit lately.  :shrug:

I just really think it's based on your spawn and as inocuole said the quality of coir. if you are getting it without spawn then it is simply the quality of your coir. I have heard eco earth is often full of random debri which could cause contam.
coir, verm and gypsum alone are not going to mold in the time that clean spawn takes to colonise it.

Is that true? I use that and heard it was good never saw anything weird in it but I don't know what you mean by debris ? Like serious foreign objects or other types of compost ?

straw chopping

harvesting

end tables

stools

theres no wrong way to use a bucket
