Coir Trough Tek 6

4x big coir blocks, 20 gallons hot water, about half a bag of verm and a 75 gallon stock tank.
Yields ~23 standard 56-66qt substrates in under an hour.

break it up using a claw hammer

Add 20 gallons hot water, cover to expand (I use a trash bag and a tub lid), minimum 15 mins.

Mix with a corded drill paddle mixer going top to bottom, add half bag verm, mix well again.

Grab a few different handfuls and feel for field capacity, this last step is up to feel, err on the side of less water, add more verm if needed. Mix well and test before using.

Once mixed evenly & properly hydrated, even if hot you can begin spawning.
Results using this method: (Pesa, pesaboner, apeu, rw)

Thanks for those who introduced me to this, you know who you are. I didn't come up with this but haven't seen this posted, someone told me one can easily double this recipe.

For when you wanna do BULK bulk 
I can dig it man...I've done something similar to this when I wanted to do make more than 10 monos. Easier than having 10+ 5 gallon buckets to deal with.
Field capacity was kind of a crap shoot, but like what you were saying above I always tried to aim for slightly under than over as well....easier to add water than to subtract it.

Tormato nice to not have ten plus buckets indeed, reducing steps, motions. That extra water bucket is variable based on the old eyeball / hand squeeze method, pretty much around the same every time.

Do you find verm aids in moisture retention? How many lbs of spawn would you add to that? Do you add the spawn directly to the trough or to each individual tub?

Keep spawn separated to each individual tub, and sanitize your hands between each tub while you're at it. You wouldn't do it all at once because you would be mixing any single contaminated bag into every other bag if you mix them together.
"...Gotta keep 'em separated! EyyyEYYYeyyy!" 
Now I'm jamming some OffSpring lol, thanks for making me think of that oldie but goodie

Verm does hold water. It's not nessecary though.
We use four quarts of spawn per tub.
Spawn goes in individual tubs.

Balliiin.
What’s up with that pic of the coir? It looks like a tub full of quartz or some dirty ice slush. I like it

That's the 20 pounds of vermiculite I think lol. Personally I think it's a waste of coir. The bottom will probably become too compacted. I'd have more faith in a kiddie pool more surface area.
