Spawning my shoe box today how much dry coir do I use?
    #27062993 - 11/29/20 01:03 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

So I have 4 1/2 pints (8oz.) brf cakes 100% colonized and a week of being consolidated and ready to spawn, should I use all 4 in one 6qt shoe box or 2 jars each and make 2 shoe boxes?

if I use 4 1/2 pints (8oz.) jars  to one tub how much coir will I need dry before doing the bucket tek?

if I use 2 1/2 pints (8oz.) to one tub how much coir will I need dry before doing the bucket tek?

Do you actually have 0.5qts (aka pints) or do you have 1/2 pints (8oz.)?

Shoeboxes do well 1:1-1.5 and a 650g dry coir brick usually makes ~5 shoeboxes.

PF BRF cakes are most often made with 1/2 pints. If you have 4x0.5 pints that’s good for 1 shoebox IMO.  :shrug:

I use just over 200 grams of coir per shoebox. You could make allowances for the amount of grain. I usually don't.

For two shoeboxes I pour a quart and a half of boiling water on the coir in a bucket. I usually end up adding a little more water after mixing to get it to field capacity. If its too wet mix in some verm or powdered coir.

650g of coir to 1 gallon boiling water.
if you add 2qts of verm you'll need another 1qt of water.
Use verm to allow your sub to have the ability to absorb water when you rehydrate for second flush.
