Damian5050's tub tek
    #26801338 - 07/03/20 11:50 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I'm going to be using Damian5050's tub tek in the next week, and would like to know what size coir brick he's using in the sub recipe?
Thanks

Probably a 650 gram. Thats typically what the pet stuff is sold in.

Here's a tip. You could weigh it. When I was first starting out I would follow tek's to T, because thats how we learn. I was using huge bricks that I got. And it was a huge pain to saw off chunks and try to weigh them. Made a mess too.

The stuff you get at the pet store are all weighed in 650 g bricks. Thats what most teks use. Buy the packs of 3. There rarely all the same size. So just make up batches of 3 because you know the total weight of the 3 bricks versus the weight of the individual bricks.

I generally follow the recipe of
1 brick (650g)
2 quarts of vermiculite
approx 8oz of gypsum (I just use a solo cup)
4 quarts of boiling water

650g. Also, if you are breaking a larger brick, don't saw it. It's much easier to wedge something like a screwdriver into it and chip off big chunks. Pet mountain has a good price if you're willing to buy in bulk.

I usually have to scale down larger recipes bc there's only 1 quart of spawn ready at any given time. Also, I hate to 'put all my eggs in one basket'.
Thanks!

Multiply all 5050 measurements by .2 to get 1 spawn jar's worth of coir prepped but honestly, idk if .8 quarts of boiling water is enough to pasteurize your coir.

I use the same logic about eggs in different baskets so I wait till I have 5 quarts of spawn then make 5 separate shoeboxes. That will use the whole brick of coir

Thanks, Metap. My thoughts exactly! I'll do pasteurization on a low burner.

Yeah something with a point- can also snap off pieces with your hand when that brick starts self-slicing
