@fahtster and fungirogers. If I made up come coir a couple of weeks ago, didn’t use it all, but stored it in locking tub in a 40degree room. Will it keep? Can I re use it? Or should I toss it? Or maybe put it in the oven at 220 degrees for 1/2 hour covered with foil and hydrate back to field capacity? Thank you in advance. BTW...Anyone can answer this if you’d like to. Thanx for the encouragement felliz. I had to break Karrions balls a little bit. Cuz he told me to stay away from the UB Tek. Though he meant stay away as in don’t use it as my primary Tek. Not that I ever would! I’m just messing around with it. Why not have some fun with it. I’ll give anything a shot. Peace Brutha!

I’ve used month old coir no problem. I’d store it in a non airtight container though.. I just put the extra in a large ziplock and zipper it up 90% of the way just so there’s some gas exchange. I’d say if your coir smells like normal coir you’re good to go. It’s crazy how contam resistant it is.
If it gives you peace of mind to heat treat it, go for it, but you’re probably good to go
I’m a big proponent for experimentation so you won’t hear me giving you shit.. especially if what you’re trying is easy.. you can learn all kinds of stuff by doing unorthodox shit even if it is a recipe for disaster like the UB tek

Lol!!! I know that tech is a disaster and when it fails I will be the first one to post the green sludge growing across my substrate! My name is not MINDFUL MUSHIE. I do believe that cat means well and I think people can be a little harsh on here. But I also agree with what they’re telling him. He keeps spreading half ass information instead of correct information backed up with facts. He just want to be helpful. His heart is in the right place but his ego is not. That being said let’s see if we can grow some mushrooms instead of bacteria or unwanted fungus on that UB rice. Thanx again for the support and encouragement

It happens. I Believe you gotta kiss a mod every time you double post I’m not sure though also of course almost everyone here will help in a heartbeat as long as you’re willing to learn and don’t try to act all high and mighty.

YES! That’s 3 yeses! Lol. Well I needed more than I had left over so just to be safe I poured the remainder of what I had into the bucket with all the new coir, Verm, gypsum and added the boiling water. Figured it couldn’t hurt to repasturize it. Not that it’s really getting pasteurized
So I must’ve typed it six different ways to Sunday in the search engine for how to make a modify tub. Now there was a lots of talk about it but I can only find one actual “TEK” which involved magnets and stuff which I do not have. So some common sense and some micropore tape Will have to work for now because I do not want to use poly fill because I think it looks ridiculous. I will have to order some 3 inch SFD’s for the future. If anybody could direct me to a list of TEKs for making mono tubs I would love it

Pasty's ez dialed are my favorite. The small holes are easy to cover with some tape and it just makes more sense to me to be drilling small holes rather than huge holes then restricting them.
And you don't want SFD's for your tubs, they don't move enough air. Those are just for jars

In my previous post I said I was going to roll with common sense and micropore tape. In my opinion and based only on common sense and not experience, because that’s lacking at the moment, drilling a series of smaller holes and using micropore tape doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that I can regulate my airflow a lot better and have much more control over it than if I have six— 2 1/2 inch holes all the way around my tub covered up with SFD’s. HOWEVER..., and I know the Shroomery doesn’t approve!( SMH)..., I talk with a lot of people on Instagram and look at pictures and videos of their methods and most importantly...THIER RESULTS!!! The majority of the successful growers who have unbelievable fruits and full canopies and are also running 5, 10, &20 tubs at a clip.., they all have 3 inch SFD’s covering up their FAE holes. (Just in case any of you guys reading this post are NOOBIES, SFD means SYNTHETIC FILTER DISK. And FAE stands for FRESH AIR EXCHANGE!!!) lol. God!,,,, I couldn’t stand it when I first came on here and everything was written in abbreviations and I had no idea what anybody was talking about LOL. I told myself as a learned or when and if I get to the point where I could contribute ANYTHING on here I would because of the endless, selfless, and generous help that I received from many people. So starting with abbreviations is a great place to begin LOL.
Check out the aggressive my psyllium from these APE’s I have growing on these BRF cakes. Oh before I forget, on this particular batch a whole bunch of my half pint jars got cracked. I don’t know when it happened but I believe it must’ve happened in the PC. Where else would it have happened. What sucks is I think that some of the jars got contaminated. It’s right where the cracks are. And they don’t feel like they’re all the way through. At least I can feel it with my finger nail, however it seems to have stalled right where the cracks are in vermiculite is an odd and different color. It’s almost dark gray but solid not like wet vermiculite gray. Almost like a dark sage green gray but not so much green. If that makes any sense??

When I started I was also really confused with all these abbreviations. It also turned into a bad habit to just use them once I learned them and not explain for new guys. My bad lol.
It’s weird your jars cracked how’d you do your pc cycle(how long, how many jars in them, was it at 15psi?) if they got cracked it’s possible that when they were cooling they could have sucked air through the crack containing them.

Update on uncle Bens!!!! Well that one bag that I Spond to some CVG started out like it was falling colony in about five days and looking very healthy I was truly amazed and then........TRICHODERMA CITY!!!! Well I was warned. I’m still going to give it another try though. I actually have four bags knocked up as we speak. I was motivated to do that by how fast that first shoebox colonized.

The one on the left was looking OK I’ll couple days later the one on the right happened! LOL

Ya! Do you think?! Lol. I’m telling you when I first Spond it it took off and was fully colonized in days. I was totally blown away it was covered in rizomorphic mycelium looking like pefefext snowflake all spiky and jaggedly reaching for the sky. And as soon as I introduce O2 to it.....BLAM! Green trich!
Tell me...what is the best way to pasteurize my already made up CVG. Put it in a disposable baking pan covere with foil and stick it in the oven on 200 for an hour? Also. What kind of bags work and stand up to heat? Not unicorn bags cuz I don’t have them.

You don't need to pasteurize cvg. 200 is way to high, pasteurize temps are 140-160

I had no idea I was just throwing those numbers out there. I really don’t think it was my CVG anyways I think it was the uncle Ben’s Tek!!!. LOL. However the reason why am concerned about my substrate is because when I mixed it with the new. I feel like maybe it didn’t get up to temperature because there wasn’t enough boiling water to heat up the new gradients along with the remaining ingredients. So just to be safe before I do anymore with it I thought it couldn’t hurt to pasteurize it in the oven. Here’s a picture of some popcorn that guy inoculated with agar Penis envy. It is looking pretty spectacular.
