Personal preference / how much you have to harvest.

I flip flop between depending on the mood. I've noticed no difference besides how long it takes.

Yes. You'll do the same process from birthing onward again and again until they're kaput.

Ok 1 more question.

If I decide to go BRF to bulk and mix a few new cakes with Coir+verm, does that need pasteurization or the coir+verm is basically the same as just coir in terms safety?
(i.e. I'll still pasteurize it anyway because I'm paranoid)

---

Consider coir and verm the same when it comes to that. They both do not need to be pasteurized.

I still toss boiling water in my bucket of coir and verm though. I like the texture

Hey guys I have a few questions,

1: What are the best ways to know when a flush is over? I assume it is when the bulk of the crop is mature and there are only a few stragglers, not too sure tho. My first grow was kind is sporratic as it was MSS to grain. Now I have a fairly isolated culture and most of them have seemed to mature between yesterday and today.

2: my second question is how I should go about soaking them after a flush. I have seen that they need to be submerged and I was planning on using another shoebox to keep it submerged. Also, if there are small pins, would they get damaged by having a bin on top that stops them from floating? I intend to only have enough weight to keep things submerged. I hear 4 hours is a good amount but not sure if that is accurate

3: lastly how long would you keep the cake submerged. These are in 6 qt shoeboxes. I have 2 bins with 1qt spawn In a 1:1 ratio with coir and 2 bins with 2qts in a 1:1 ratio.

If you know any good threads that cover this then please let me know.

I appreciate any input you may have one these questions. Thank you in advance!
