hi everybody, i'm about to make my bulk substrate, but there is a problem, every-time i put coir in my bucket along with vermiculite, i pour the hot water over it and leave it for few hours, when i'm about to mix it with my grains it's too wet. what is the correct ratio of coir/vermiculite/water? the problem is i cant measure my coir like "one brick" because it's much bigger than a brick :/ any suggestion in grams?

one more thing, i don't have access to gypsum, what can i use instead? i read somewhere that people use Coffee Grounds but i just have Coffee in powder form. is that ok to use? i also have vermicompost, the guy who sell it to me said it has worm casting & some kind of shit (i think sheep idk really) in it :/ aawm, should i use that? :laugh: and if yes, what ratio? :crazy2:

BTW i'm about to grow GT, i have blueoyster as well, but i think that need straw. correct me if i'm wrong.

You can use 4-5 times the weight of water to coir (I use 4 I.e. 100g coir to 400g water). You dont need to add anything, you can add gypsum if you want but it's used more as a ph buffer, you certainly don't want to add coffee as it's prone to contam.

Edit: if you do put too much water in you can squeeze it out by hand till it's field capacity, bit of a PITA but better than throwing it out (if that's what you are doing)
