I have 8 half pint BRF cakes almost 100% colonized. This is my first attempt growing. Im interested in spawning it to bulk coir/verm. Not sure if i should just use my SGFC or spawn to bulk in a mini mono. Also, if i were to spawn to bulk, would i use an entire brick of coir?

If you plan on using the whole brick within a week tops yes cook it all. 4 quarts boiling water to 1 brick of coir. Fuck SGFC!

4 quarts water: 1 brick no verm 4.5~5 quarts water: 1 brick : 2 quarts verm

Use only a half brick if youΒ΄re planning on spawning 8 BRF cakes. You can spawn 8 cakes to 4L coir inside one tub or you can spawn 4 cakes to 2L coir inside two tubs each. I would spawn the 8 cakes to two tubs 
Spawn to a shoebox or an unmodified tub or to anything you want really. BRF cakes are made of vermiculite so no point in adding additional vermiculite to bulk substrate.

...good point... cakes contain a lot of vermiculite so no need to add any additional just the coir....

Awesome thread!
I was originally going to do sgfc but now I think I'm totally just going to use this technique and shoe boxes! This seems almost easier and more simple than dealing with the shotgun. Plus I really wanted to move to bulk as soon as possible so I feel like this is a great first step!
Best wishes to everyone!

Can you really not use verm in the bulk sub if you use brf cakes as spawn? I was planning on doing a coir/verm because I don't have that much coir

I used verm with my coir down below.
3 cakes spawn, and roughly 1.5 quarts CV give or take.

All of my grows have verm in the bulk sub.I just go by the recipe for coir/verm and add cakes to it.
