http://I started a Grain/Coir/Verm Grow. I tried to follow instructions. Mix 2 parts colonized WBS to 1 part pasteurized field capacity Coir/vermiculite. Break up the clumps with a spoon, Spoon this mix, then Finish off 1/2" deep of pasteurized field capacity Coir/vermiculite. I then covered it with foil with holes for air and then placed the container inside of a plastic garbage bag for 10 days . After which I only seen some colonization and I think I spotted some mold. ( I applied some mild heat with a heating pad during the 10 days ) I just placed the container in my SGFC . I have a space heater near the SGFC because the room is not warm and its the winter. I have some more jars to fruit should I try to fruit them straight from the jar? take a look at these pictures Can anyone give me some advice. Thank Youhttp://

It looks like you used coconut bark instead of coconut coir.

Hello kanemush , You know what... You just Opened my eyes... I ordered Bosmere Coir Chips Brick, Set of 4 >>> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bosmere-Coir-Chips-Brick-Set-of-4/47300963 ... I thought it was coco coir, No Wonder it was so chunky.... This is my first grow. I am Glad that I only used one jar out of the 4 . So now I have to order COCO COIR and make sure sure it COCO COIR. I wonder if its going to grow ?

I thought it was coco coir, No Wonder it was so chunky.... This is my first grow. I am kicking myself in the butt..... I am Glad that I only used one jar out of the 4 .
