 You don't need to boil water for coir. Are you saying you threw away 40 bags of colonized spawn because you couldn't fluff your coir with hot water?

I'd go cold water before tossing bags if the bags looked nice. But, I've never done cold water grows. Fuck it, I'd boil water on a campfire in the back yard before tossing good bags.
And i confess, I'm tired as balls but waiting for the cooker to cool so i can take out and slant these slants

I need sleep. And thankfully (I confess) the slants are slanted and now I can sleep. I also confess, I guess I was careless (drunk) when carrying the cooker to the flow. One of the jars tipped over and filled the slants in it (three Per jar) with cooker water. I suppose they won't gel properly. Oh well.

I also confess, the lady gave me a hairy eyeball at the store today. What can I say? I like feeding birds.

They'll gel, they will just be a little bit softer. Maybe transfer them a month or two sooner that you usually would have?
Good night! I've still got another hour and two more beers

hairy eyeball!? did u tell her you're a stay at home bird therapist!? you should go buy the same lot tomorrow if shes working again, lol
BTW, with those slants... Ive been filling mine with like 3.5 ml using a pipette its just enough to lay them completely flat and the cap is enough to slant the tube. gives maximum surface area.
that verm on top? lol

What happened? Unwanted attention?
power outage. I was unable to get propane to boil water for coir and no hot water from the tap. tossed 40 4.20# bags so far saved a couple.
also I confess... Im a SAB worker now for the mean time because of it. wish me luck. its been a while. I usually only use it these days for cleaning up bacterial or moldy cultures but Ive got lots of A2G to do. luckily I pc'd my grain in advance in preparation for the outage
This hurt my stomach to read. Sorry for your loss 😥

comfort. I always have used it for coir hydration . have had some issues in the past when experimenting with cold water prep. the bags had sat for a little too long and were looking iffy. I spawned about 20 and they look ok so far but I decided to just stay there and see how those tubs do. fuck tossing 60 tubs of trich. bags are easy to toss and I have more colonizing anyways.

I would add lime and case the grain with cold prepped coir before tossing spawn
