Pasteurizing Bulk Substrate
    #26687668 - 05/22/20 09:04 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

So, I've always done my process as such:

50/50 coir/verm to field capacity.

56 qt. monotubs noc'd with 4 jars (quart jars) colonized WBS spawn.

Coir bricks, coarse verm.

So, I would just boil the water, and add to substrate

I weigh my bricks and verm. So, I have a specific amount of water that I add per oz that always has pretty perfect field capacity.

Cover and seal in buckets.

Once cooled, I'd spawn to bulk. No casing.

After 10-14 days depending on colonization introduce to FAE

My question is: should I be doing a round of pasteurization after my bulk substrate is cooled? I keep it in a sealed bucket until I'm ready to spawn to bulk, but there is a round of mixing I have to do halfway through cooling. Also, I mix the spawn and bulk sub with my gloved hands in the monotub in open air (inside with no fans or ac running).

I've had plenty of success with this process, but I've also had my fair share of contams, and all around ruined tubs. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm not particularly interested in recommendations in altering my substrate or spawn methods, just the steps from prepping the bulk sub to inoculating the monotubs. Thanks in advance!

I use hot tap water these days. Haven't noticed any issues.

I used to pour boiling water in a cooler to preheat it, and then pour rapidly boiling water into it with the coir bricks (bods tek) and then cover that with a towel and let it sit for hours. Now I just pour hot tap water let it sit for 25 minutes then mix it or bust it up by hand if necessary.

Sometimes I pack tubs without gloves on. Actually quite often I do it. And I spawn in a dirty ass room where I eat food and leave shit laying around :shrug:


You can get away with not pasteurizing anything properly because coir/verm are really contam resistant. If your grows are getting mold or whatever before the first flush is even complete, it's highly likely the contams are coming from your spawn.

Just some things to think about.

How does the spawn you're using look? Got any pictures ?
