Trying to do some math with my tubs to see how much substrate I will need for the size of my tubs, but not sure how much coir I get from a standard brick of coir and 2 quarts of verm hydrated?
always done it in a bucket never measured the amt of quarts... any help?

It should come out to about 10 with the vermiculite I would say 8-10 is the range. What size tub you using?

Your brick should say right on it what it expands to. The bucket tek directions are in two sentences on the packaging the coir comes in

I bought these bricks from a supply store with nothing but plastic wrap and a price tag they were like 2-3$ each so I just use them. kinda chunky sometimes have to throw a bunch out after but it does the trick. Not sure what size tub I'm gonna use yet, I have a few different sizes around the 56 qt mark.

For a 56qt use a whole brick to 5-6 qt jars of spawn. I use a bunch of 58Qt Sterilite and I use whole bricks, don't even use vermiculite any more, just coir.

Is it a safe assumption that half a brick will net you 3 quarts? I have two quarts of spawn going into a 20qt tub.

When I did the tek it made about 8 quarts I think. Different coir brick sizes obviously vary the output though.
