Settle down there Rot lol. You gotta improvise since you messed up and picked up the loose coir. Just put it in a bucket and fill it with water until it is at field capacity or something. I had the same coir situation when I first started and heads up it contams much quicker than a brick since it already has been sitting for who knows how long with some moisture in it.  My bag started to get moldy after 2 or 3 weeks.

People put a bunch of time and detail into those stickies, so that the community doesn't have to answer the same basic questions everyday. If you can't follow directions without a supervisor at every step, well that's a you problem, not a forum problem.

Can't follow directions? If you take someone who has never grown before and have them read one of these guides not a single person would be able to grow from them. There are so many different things and variables that are left out of these guides.

Then when I PM'd you a question you decide to reply with "don't pm me". You are a toxic piece of shit.

The loose coir will work fine... measure out 8 quarts:that's a brick... add 3-3.5 quarts of boiling water, and let it sit overnight before use... I'm not understanding what's so confusing or difficult here?

I grew directly from teks, before I even registered and posted... it can be done with the right tek,  followed to the "T", and some patience... your frustration lies with stress, not the individuals in this thread who are trying to help... ya know?

:whathesaid:
If you can read and follow directions, it's like a cake recipe with an extremely long bake time.... eventually you stop having to look at the cookbook and it's all instinct...
I started trying bulk out like a few months ago, and now I have done like 20 shoeboxes... and more fungus than I'll ever know what to do with... gave about a QP to my ma for christmas :laugh2:

This will be my last response cause we getting way off topic now, but that response is full of shit.

I responded I will answer you in the thread not in pm, then repeated your question and answered it. It's common practice to respond in public threads so it can be read and corrected. I don't like pm'ing questions.

As Caps touched on, I also grew for months succesfully just reading the site before I ever made an account. So have many others here.

I help people nearly everyday here in the getting started forum, you're one of the few to be a dick instead of reading the links given and trying. It's not hard, none of this is hard. Read.

Yeah bro, a whole page of asking every step isn't helpful for yourself, especially when half is common sense shyte... IMO LtLurker here gave you a whole lot of answers and links and shit... more than I woulda bothered at that point. I am a heres a link or two, good luck. or an opinion on what my eyes see in a 'how's this look?' question....
Not just bias either cuz LtLurker is a cool dude :trustme:

Or ready to consume them! Chances are,  their message to you will be a slap in the face... I don't know you from Adam, and don't make assumptions... but based on the defensive nature of your responses here,  you don't take kindly to  contrary... A bit of maturity will take you much further than finger pointing and making excuses...

If you have to much water in the coir when you're done just squeeze it out hand full at a time. Add a little verm if you need to. I had to do that because my coir was already expanded from my other ventures in growing and 3.5 quarts was way to much water.

I have 4 boxes, 3 are colonising very fast, 1 very slowly, all with the same ratio of spawn to substrate.

I'm guessing the slow colonisation in one box might indicate bacterial contamination. The slow box smells like cheap vodka, or a bit like iso propyl. It's not an unpleasant smell but I suspect it's not a good sign?

trust your nose. That's not what you want. Smelling bad before colonized rarely gives fruits ime.

Another quick question re lids.

I'm using these boxes:

https://sistemaplastics.com/products/klip-it-rectangular/7l-rectangle

Which have a silicone gasket and four clips designed to create an airtight seal.

I'm wondering if having the box fully clamped during colonisation  might be too anaerobic?

For now I've removed the gasket and have the lids on unclasped during colonisation.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I'd just flip it... Leave it unclamped at minimum ... what you've done should work fine, never a need to be air tight: toss the gaskets lol
