How long does unused bulk substrate last?
    #26383766 - 12/15/19 05:34 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hello hello.

I have a bucket of bulk substrate 650grams coco coir and 2qt vermiculite that I have made about two weeks ago. Opened a few times to check field capacity. (Used sterile technique).

Is it still good to use?

Yea i had a bucket of coir that sat over 6 months and it was fine, had to add a little water to get it to field capacity but it will last a very long time.

Yeah, I run through an endless stream of coir. Usually have a massive cooler with some coir in it for a week or two after it was prepped. As bags of spawn become ready to spawn.

I used to do this, but the ants found it and moved in... now I wait for the spawn to stack up lol

Thanx for the help. And now I know why the ants keep attacking my closet. The whole world is out there and they wanna live in my closet. SMH.
