EAT'S UNBUCKET T3K 1.0 ™(NOT REALLY) * 13
    #26216702 - 09/28/19 06:04 PM (4 years, 5 months ago)

:chief:Eat's UnBucket T3K 1.0 :chief:



Brought to you by THE TRIBE


Hello Shroomery!  :hi:

:vibin:


This TEK involves a bucket, bowl, large pot or anything with enough volume to mix substrate in. But it isn't like the bucket TEK because there isn't much TEK involved. Hence, UNBUCKET T3K 1.0™ . It is different in that you don’t boil water.

Bucket tek is a thing of the past because you don't need to boil water to treat coir to get good results. Just add some warm water to expand it and you are done. Don't measure any temperature, don't spend 20 plus minutes boiling water, don't spend time thinking about it. Pour some water on coir to expand it in a bucket, a bowl, a large pot, DONE.

The warmth in the water is simply to expand the coir faster than using cool or room temperature tap water. It isn’t necessary to boil the water to treat the coir. You can get results using cool or room temperature tap water but the subs colonize and fruit a little slower than if you heat treated. Then spawn your bulk as per your usual method.

UNBUCKET T3K 1.0™ (NOT REALLY)

Supplies for one Tote:
  • 1 Small Brick Coir(Eco Earth is what I am using here)
    as it holds the volume of your substrate.



  • Bucket, Large Metal Pot, Giant Bowl for mixing the substrate in. It does not matter what you use as long as it has enough volume for your substrate and a lid.



    This is a nice big one for 5 plus totes at a time.



  • 3 Quarts Vermiculite

  • 4.5 Quarts Warm Tapwater

    Coir grade Note: coir grade makes a difference in water amount.

    Fine verm 4.5 quarts per tub
    Medium verm 4 quarts per tub
    Coarse grade 3.5-3.75 quarts per tub

  • 5 Colonized Quarts of your finest clean spawn

  • this recipe may vary depending on type and size of coir brick used or fine and coarse grade vermiculite. See notes below about testing for field capacity moisture content. We all use different variables so there is a lot of flexibility in volume. It may take a test run to achieve your perfect ratio. No one recipe is better or worse, it is all about having the proper moisture content of your substrate.


Summary:

There are 3 steps involved.

1. You can do this one of two ways:

A. Turn on your faucet to the highest temperature setting. let it run 1-3 minutes until the water is as warm as it gets. Then measure 4.5 quarts of water.

B. Measure out 4.5 quarts of water to 1 small brick of eco earth coir.(volume may vary depending on the size of brick or coir you are using).  Heat up water in a pot but don’t heat it up more than 5 minutes. Going full boil isn’t necessary. It is time consuming. Just bring the temp up enough to expand the coir. 



2. Dump the water and your coir brick into an UNBUCKET T3K 1.0™ (NOT REALLY). Put the lid on whatever you are using.  Let it expand for 30 minutes to an hour depending on when you want to spawn. More recently I’ve been spawning as early as 10 minutes after i have poured the hot water over the sub. The time required to wait is more about expanding the brick than the actual temperature. Last night I spawned after ten minutes.

Recently I’ve seen discussion about eco earth coir bricks being smaller and expanding much less than before. Even taking half as much water than in the past. A good rule of thumb is to add some water, test field capacity with a squeeze of the substrate so that a steady drop of water flows between your fingers. To be safe put 4 quarts in first let it expand, if it can take the other half quart of water after you mix your substrate, then add it as needed. If you over pour water volume you can always make up by adding more vermiculite. I have some old bricks so this is not the case but a friend mentioned he’s putting in half the volume of water he used to. It’s easier to add less at first then add more water as needed.

A note about the field capacity Test: to achieve the perfect moisture content for substrate or casing use the field capacity test. Grab a handful of substrate and use a light squeeze between your hand. If a steady drip of water comes out between your fingers, it is at Field capacity. If you squeeze hard you will see a steady drip.

This is what my field capacity looks like after the substrate is mixed. With a hard squeeze its a steady flow of water. With a light squeeze it would have a steady drip.



If it’s a heavy flow of water with a light squeeze you have too much water. Then you would add vermiculite to adjust down to field capacity. Depending on the coir or vermiculite you use(ie coarse or fine vermiculite) this May determine your final volume of vermiculite and overall ratio. If you squeeze and no water comes out, add a little more water to get to field capacity. Make sure to record the amount of water you put in, so that next time you can use that volume to initially expand the coir and get your recipe perfect.


3. Once the coir is expanded. Add 3 quarts of fine vermulite. Mix it up nice and even. Then spawn. Done. I generally mix using plastic gloves(the same pair for 10 plus years) so that I don't get my hands too dirty. In addition, recently i have been placing the verm and coir brick together in the bucket and expanding at the same time. Same results.

Coir grade Note: coir grade makes a difference in water amount.

Fine verm 4.5 quarts per tub in
Medium verm 4 quarts per tub
Coarse grade 3.5 quarts tub

Im noticing im getting varied grade vermiculite in every other bag recently so ive adjusted the recipe and l am seeing overly saturated subs with original recipe if i use medium and coarse grade verm. Fine absorbs the most water.






Fruiting is up to you but I generally mix spawn nice and even with gloved hands. Top layer 1/4” of substrate on top of the mix.


4. A note: ill usually do 3 plus bricks at once. So just multiply the recipe by how many tubs you want to mix. Basically, the coir bricks are always uneven in weight so when you mix multiple tubs volume at once it seems to even out the ratio better than one tub at a time.

5. Easy Peasy

This is a multispore Rustywhyte flush done this way. And some other samples.




Stropharia Cubensis



Texas Orange Cap multispore



Texas Yellow Cap Clone



LGT Multispore


APEU Multispore


After you prepare your substrate it is time to spawn. Note: When i have multiple tubs volume of substrate, i do a quick double handed scoop for each quart. So ill scoop 6-7 scoops per tub sub, then leave two double handed scoops for each top layer. This seems to evenly distribute the sub  volume and top layer in multiple tubs.

STREAM-LINERS BY EAT™


Some TOC multispore: days shown from spawn. These two tubs substrates were expanded using hot tap water. 13 days spawn to fruit. 1 day slower than my average with this variety but it is winter and the temps have been lower.

Yes. No more boiling 2020.

Pasty, do you still sterilize your coir?

Thanks for sharing!

I will for sure go this route next time I'm doing coir! :takingnotes:

glad I saw this, poured agar last night for first time, a practice 10 plates from unsterile sleeve and about to get our first grow on in this next week. will be using this coupled with bodhi's unmodified monotub once I get the MS cleaned up and narrowed down.

definitely deserves a spot on the easyAF and noob series, thanks for posting it! :mushroomtwirl:

Not anymore, actually haven’t in a long time it just took too long. I do think that it colonizes a bit better with it sterilized but not enough to offset the effort to do so. Strength and vigor of the spawn is more important imo anyway. Cron pulled off an unpasteurized manure sub recently. It did alright which just goes to show that speed and recovery are super important.

I pulled off a grow with garden soil out of a bag. LOL was done with crappy spawn and old subs to! NO heat treatment of any kind.
