Wtf is a "brick" of coir?!

Here in Denver, coir bricks from the grow store are 5 kilos/11 pounds. Is this what is meant by a brick? Ive expanded these before and don't think a 5 gal is enough space
Is 650 grams correct? These 5000 gram bricks are all ive seen.

A brick of 650g is what the most people around here would call a brick of coir. It depends where you live. I have seen bigger and smaller bricks of coir, too.

yeah that's a huge brick of coir, most pet stores have 650g bricks as you pointed out. 5gallons is definitely not enough for your 5kg brick, just chip off ~650g and follow the bucket tek.
you can of course scale the bucket tek after your own preferences.

Appreciate it bro!
I paid 20 for 5kg coir and 20 quarts vermiculite. Wonder if PetSmart is cheaper. They're ordering a 4 cu ft bag of verm for me. This will be my first mono tub. Ive got about 60 quart jars colonizing from ms, pf slurry, and liquid agar innoc.
My b+ mycelium is growing so great on agar, but I wonder if the fruits aren't kinda weak... I dunno. It took my 9 grams dry to get to a level 2.5, but the golden teachers were about the same. Got Puerto Rico. Costa Rica, huatla, and pf classic. As well as b+ and gt from the first go.

I haven't posted anything on this site in YEARS. Just getting involved in the hobby again. But logging back in to reply to you is entirely worth it. I want you to know. From the bottom of my heart. You just made me laugh full force. Genuinely hilarious

That ain't a pallet though, that's a normal order from a certain pet supply website that offers free shipping on all orders over $19, and their 3 pack of Eco Earth is $4.

That's a joke right? No one would intentionally add trich into coir.
In case you're serious, I've found that Exo Terra is the cleanest. Many people agree that it's good. Right now I'm using millenium soils, which is not as clean, but it's so cheap! (found some ripped up plastic bag pieces, and a few seeds). Then there's "beyond peat" by natura which is also good and cheap.
Proper pasteurization can be done. Even sterilization is OK with coir. I love coir. But really all you need is bucket tek.

i read that Trichoderma is beneficial to the root system of plants and is therefore added to some growing mediums.

I'm wondering how these companies actually add trich to coir? Is there a market for trich spores or what?
