I think I managed to age it pretty well using my dehydrator at 145. According to the internet, that is a good temperature for activating the microorganisms that process the ammonia. We will see. I have re hydrated it and am pasteurizing it now.

I thought coir wasn't all that high in nutrients? I'm using some horse manure compost from an equestrian center.

Coir, vermiculite, and gypsum plus the nutrients from the spawn grain you're using provide everything the mushroom needs to fruit. Many people choose to use pasteurized manure in the mix which is just fine, but is with most cubes unneeded.

Coir is just easy to use

Provides water and surface area

Easy to prep and resistant to contam

The jar of grain is the nutrients

Ive never grown with manure, maybe its better, some claim the mush is stronger, idk

But coir and a jar can push an oz of mush first flush

Thats good enough for me :shrug:

This was me, but the powers of gypsum, with the coir/vermiculite giving an easier grow medium makes for a powerful combo, you should try it.

Pretty dope that you still pulled out an Oz from your tubs!
Like Enkidu said, shoeboxes filled with hydrated coir and clean nutritious spawn are a great way to learn a ton. The conditions are simple to maintain, the materials are easy to find, and the harvests are usually juicy.
Check these out:
Frank's WBS
I use Frank's, but Foo Man's is tried and true.
Bod's Easy AF Shoeboxes
Mushboy's Shoeboxes
Damion5050 Coir Tek
Self Healing Lid Tek
Really helpful lid tek in keeping sterile conditions until inoculation.

Yeah ive tried gypsum

Cant say i noticed a difference, felt like it sludged up a bit and didnt like the way it mixed in my sub

I have some so soon as i get going like i use to ill try some again

Yeah those are some good links.

I like shoeboxes and foomans wbs prep. I let the wbs dry longer but its a super easy and fast tek that worked well for me
