Holy shit...if true, OP could be onto something huge here.

I thought we have to use grain spawn cause coir has a low nutrient content.

I'm assuming you don't shake the jars to speed colonization either?

So if no contams, how many flushes do you get?

Have you tried mixing spawn with sub or only spot spawning into the tub?

Well the traditional reason for using grain spawn is several-fold; its an excellent food source for the mushies, it provides lots of air gaps, it makes spawn more manageable into something like seed-form which we humans like, easily broken up, its nicely encapsulated, cheap and incredibly abundant...

but yea. I'm going to keep going with this coir-only method as it makes a lot of sense to me, but we'll see. I don't even know what to do with all these shrooms man, I think I'll start experimenting with extracts. I saw a video on making risotto, where they soak dry mushrooms in water overnight and squeeze them out the next day to get a very strong broth, thinking I'll try that with the magic kind and see about evaporating the water...

You can TOTALLY shake the jars. Just dont wait too long or it gets a bit more difficult yea. I usually shake around 30-50%

Wouldn’t shaking get your filter wet? Deff can’t shake if you use poly, right?

Seems reasonable to me given that we spawn to coir to such a large degree and that RR has said coir is nutricious, cronicr has said something to that degree, cant remeber exactly what

I have 2-3 pure coir jars but they are hella slow to colonize

Of course you do lol. I’d rub it in everyone’s face if I was you. At least 1 instance of you “crazy” experiments working for you, not against you.
I don’t think I’m the only one who’s gonna want to try this myself, and you’re way ahead of us.

The coir shouldn't be 'wet', field capacity is where you take a fistful, squeeze the fuck out of it until maybe a dribble or so comes out.

is anyone surprised by this? ofc I was running
a few coir jars immediatly. all i read was that
coir was substrate material and that it was
best cooked. that was reason enough to try,
and if the "pre eat " theory is correct
your speeding up colonization when you

spawn coir to coir

:camping:

This sounds fun! Thinking of trying it as well. So far we have 1 replication of the jar colonizing part, by meaculpa, but it's very slow?
