I guess there's been a trend of people saying they prep dryer coir, this is how I've prepped coir for the last six years.
I listen to dudes like pasty and eat when they say how they make their substrate.

Get a 5 gallon bucket fill it with; 1 650 gram brick of pet grade coir (breaking it up beforehand is optional but I prefer to) 3 quarts verm 4.5 quarts boiling water Put lid on and use it when cool

Two of the best growers on the boards prep theirs the exact same as each other.
I just use 1 less qt verm and .5 less qts h20 relatively. So it comes out to be the same consistency as theirs as far as I'm concerned and seems to be working very well for them.
Open to ideas but this is my reasoning, I think it's rock solid.

Last update on relative misted tub 2nd flush. Looks like it may have been a little heavier in it's flush than the total neglect.
Kinda goofed not weighing both flushes for both tubs but the eyeball method does alright. Decide for yourselves, this was mainly about the surface conditions yada yada.

Thanks for following. . . May revisit with flush weights in the future.

If there's a stream it's very small. Moist but airy.
are you using a brick and two qts verm too?
Yeah I am using 2qt verm and 1 brick (650g). 3qt water seems to be the sweet spot. It’s weird how much the variation is between different brands.
