Prepping ~1 quart of coir/verm 12

So i think this’ll be useful to some ppl because sometimes I only need about of quart of CV for a top layer or or just need some CV material to make a small sub for printing or clone material (literally what I’m doing right now) you can make about a quart of CV with a really easy recipe:
40g of coir 1 cup of water 1/2 cup of verm
** I should add that I use coco bliss brand coir and it’s perfect for this recipe/my preference.. you may have to adjust the water amount a little depending on how wet you want it. If anything it’s a bit on the drier side so a few heavy mists can get the job done, I’m told.
It’s a 1/16 of the standard 650g coir, 1 gallon water, 2 quarts verm recipe.

I still use boiling water (especially with these small amounts because it cools off in like 20 minutes) but you can easily just use the hottest water that your tap puts out
I use a plate to press down firmly onto the CV after the water is added and mixed in for a good 30 sec.. this helps evenly distribute the water and keeps clumping down right from the get go (for the full 650g recipe, I use a cutting block that fits perfectly into the rectangle cooler that I use to hydrate)

Super easy

If you need more than a quart, it’s really easy to adjust because of the round numbers.. 1.5qts:
60g coir 1.5 cups water 3/4 cup verm
Etc.

Do you have difficulty sourcing verm lately? Everywhere seems to be out of stock since COVID.

If you want to just use coir, the fresh prints gave me a recipe recently for 200g coir to 4 cups of water that worked well for about 4 qts of made sub. So I’d give 50g coir to 1 cup water a try to get ~1 qt of made sub

Thanks for the info, something that I hadn’t heard before was using a rectangular cooler for the larger batches of CV prep, ideal for keeping the pasteurisation temps up
