Did I fuck my coir up??
    #23856903 - 11/22/16 10:46 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

SO yesterday evening I threw 3 bricks of coir in my big cooler. dumped 12 quart boiling water on it. 45 min later gave a good stir. Well it has been siting for lie 18 hours and it is still at 100f. Will this open any windows for contamination. it took 2 hours to drop from 160-155 last night so I know it was in the pasteurization temps for a while. I am assuming its fine as coir doesn't really have much nutrition to grow things, but I kind of wanted other opinions before I blow my 16qt of spawn.

all good I sterilize my coir at 20 psi for two hours and actually has no downfall.

Myc likes cooked coir so sounds like yours is perfect.

The thermometer has been calibrated recently. I can tell it is still hot. I know I need to get it down to around 80 to spawn. I also used a big Igloo cooler for mine. Held the heat damn well.

Think its safe to leave the lid cracked to try to cool it down?

Should I stir it with a clean spoon? Guess I may just have to wait until I get home from work after midnight.

in the future after the initial couple hours or so you could split it up into separate containers to make it cool faster

Our is generally contam resistant bud.
I think you should be ok, I just use a kitchen spoon the wife lends me to stir and scoop that shit up.
I am against sterilizing coir as I have found multiple sources that all claim it can break down nutrients and in it's contams.  If you have good clean spawn sterilizing coir is not needed from my experiences and readings.
I am sure you will be fine :-)

you could leave it for another few days and stir it with a not clean spoon and you would be fine.

sterilizing coir makes it perform better anyway. and it's still just as hard to fuck up

you can bucket tek coir, spit in the bucket after it cools down, wait a week come back and it will still just be coir in a bucket

Serious?
Isn't there a higher risk of contams and less edibles in sterilized coir?  Or is that old info?
Thanks :-)
