White Aerial Contamination on Coco Coir
    #23572952 - 08/24/16 02:07 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)



Anyone know what this contam is?  Its showing up between the first and second flush on CVG monotubs.  It is my third attempt growing with coir, and I am getting this same contam everytime.  I use Botanicare Cocogro 5 kg blocks, pour boiling water over them, then mix in verm and gypsum.

You should be pouring your boiling water over the coir and the verm/gypsum, just to be safe.

I think you're right - thanks! I'll do that next time, and I will also place a sheet of plastic over the mixture to better retain the heat throughout.

The sheet of plastic will be pointless, don't worry about that.

Eagle's Gift - Thanks for your input, much appreciated!  I have a new set of monotubs incubating now with coir/verm heat treated together.  So far so good . . .
