Can Bulk Substrate Be Exposed to Elements?
    #26499538 - 02/23/20 08:14 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I left my bulk substrate (Coir/Verm) in my monotub by itself, with no polyfil or Micropore tape covering the holes.  It dried out a bit on top but still at field capacity.  It was not mixed with spawn, just substrate at this point. 

My question is will leaving it out for 3-4 dwith no filter increase risks of contam simply by exposure?

Its ok to leave it out, but its best practice to prepare it and use it immediately.  The longer anything sits uncolonized the higher chance of contam there will be.

Thanks! This isn’t typically what I’d like to do but it was a batch I thought was garbage that turned out making it, so I just figure if it works I’m no worse for it.
