id just throw those broken chunks back in the tote all sloppy like youd be surprised what a fractured sub can pump out.

Wife wasn’t very fond of my tubs in our bathtub soaking either. Lol

Just hydrate it as usual and keep it in a bucket. Lasts a long long time.

That’s what I did haha. Glad to hear it may not be in vain. Doesn’t look pretty but we’ll see what happens.

I'm assuming that the bucket or cooler would have a fairly tight lid on and not be open to air for that length of time?

Coir is not some miracle sub. I have never had luck storing coir any amount of time. Ive had it contam plenty in the bucket, ive posted pics about it multiple times here.

The thing is that coir often has leaves, little sticks, bark, seeds, seed husks, bits of paper, etc. in it that all can and absolutely will contaminate over time. Ive seen it too many times over 12 years Ive been cultivating to even question it.

I say use coir when you make it unless you sterilized it and kept it in a sealed container.  Im sure ill get some rolled eyes and disagreement here but it's my experience

Absolutely agree on this.
It can easily be the carrier of the nasties.
Sometimes i leave it in the bucket for several weeks without issues,
but not sealed for sure, as it was bucket tek´d.
But i really don´t like to take the chance of a total fail.
Better make a new batch.
