No, it really isn't. I've noticed significant differences in bricks of coir, even from the same brand. How stable do you think quality control is when reptile bedding comes with grain, garbage, stick, rocks, and straw mixed in? My last bricks of EcoEarth seem much less "compacted" and uniform than usual, including big chunks of longer fibers leftover. And the same volume of water I've used for years to the same recipe of CVG now leaves my sub far beyond field capacity, nearing sopping wet.
You seem to have a bad habit of speaking matter-of-factly on issues that are either subjective in nature or when you're just flat-out wrong. In a hobby where dozens of simultaneously occurring variables drastically change each grower's situation, you sure are quick to conflate your personal experience (also known as opinion) with fact. Do your thing, but you're never too experienced to Google shit and second-guess yourself.
None of that shit makes any difference in the end though. I don't give a fuck what kind of coir I get. I buy what's cheapest and/or locally available. It always works. The only variable that matters is how big the brick is, so you can adjust water content accordingly.
My personal experience spans over 15 years (plus a couple reading before I started) including co-running a small legit farm, as well as countless dried pounds of Cubensis, several exotics, some edibles here and there, etc. In several different kinds of environments. I don't really need to Google anything anymore because I keep getting consistent, awesome results, which is what we're here for.
If I'm so wrong all the time then why do most mods and TCs agree with me on most things? It's kinda rare that I get called out on anything. You just say that because there was a recently bumped thread where it happened and I admitted I was wrong on that one.

Yes, coir with grain in it makes a difference. I'm using the same brand, same weight of the brick, but the same water is far beyond FC. Seems like something on their end being different. Your coir "always works" but you spent years swearing you need to pasteurize it, lol. I didn't say you're "so wrong all the time." I said you often state opinions as facts. I'm saying that because it's something I've observed, not because of your coir fiasco. You admitting being wrong changed nothing. But it seems like you've got it all figured out, so whatever. Not going to tard up this thread.

So I’m guessing the spawn I used here was bad. Tons of mutants yet if you look in the center of the tub they look normal. Most of the blobs and deformed ones are along the edges. Thoughts on this?


So I harvested the mutant flush tonight, Amazon variety, and it was 2069g wet! There were some strange lookin cubes in the bunch for sure.

Got some more tubs coming up. Most of these are a few transfers down the line from a b+ clone. Also got some AA+ colonizing and on agar

After a long hiatus and a life shift, I’ve gotten my hands dirty again and started cultivation again.
Here’s a couple pics of the first tub out of 4. Growing conditions aren’t optimal here, I had a separate fruiting space where I lived previously and rarely had contam problems, so of course I get trich on one of the other tubs that just started pinning...damn you mold gods!
Casing layer on the tub in the pics. 6myco qts spawn from 4th gen agar transfer into a brick of coir. It could use a bit more fae but I’m worried about risking contam at this point. Enjoy!

I don't think more fae will hurt. I think contams dislike more fae than myc, so that would assist in risk of contams

Yeah I’d agree with that. However my fear is air quality in my place. I rent and the furnace is in the basement, the landlord changes the furnace filter. Well I checked it the other day and she had the wrong size installed, a cheap one at that, so all the return air was just going around the filter...I fixed that problem.
Harvested that tub last night and dehydrated. 73g dry
