Forgot to mix Coco Coir
    #28022385 - 10/29/22 04:32 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

So, as the title says I forgot to mix coco coir into my bulk substrate. I'm a first-time grower and had bought a grow kit from North Spore. Late last night I started layering substrate-grain bag, substrate-grain bag for a few layers. I finished up and went about my night. I go into the room the monotub is in only to realize I never mixed in the bag of coir... Is there anything I can/should do or do I jus let it ride? Thanks for looking and for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

How much should I mix? I have prolly a ... 3 or 5 lb bag of it? Just a guess. and do I put it over top and toss everthing around cause obviously it wouldn't be neatly layered after that haha I don't even know if that really matters, I don't know shit. Thanks! --- Edit, I just re read every step it gave me and it never said mix the coir. but once I read step 7 it says "When I start to see hyphae knots or pins I'll want to case my tub using a thin half inch to inch casing of 100% coir and spray bin with water until casing shows signs of being fully hydrated" ... #Help lmmfao

It's not supposed to be layers. Put on some exam gloves, isopropyl them up, once they evaporate mix it all up good with your hands, level it out and if it's 4" thick then compress it down about an inch. Make it perfect flat and level

I never mixed the coco coir into my bulk substrate, so when I go back in there and mix it all around and compress like you mentioned do I mix the coir into it too? I hope that helps

Mix your colonized grain spawn with your prepared coir in the tub and make it flat and level. You want it to be a 3-4" deep mixture in the tub. Compress some if you can but it really just needs to be 3-4" deep.
