Hey Beef just wanted to add to the general enthusiasm knocking about regarding your post. 

I first did PF tek about 25 years ago!  Im in the UK and in the early days of the internet I found a chap in Ohio who was selling spore syringes, and coached me in the basics. Did it for a few months with moderate success and then let it drop, till I was chatting with some old friends of mine about a year or so ago, and remembered doing it, so thought I would try again.  Things have certainly moved on since the last years of the 90s'.  There's a wealth of information on the web on the subject, and one or two of the youtube offerings ARE really helpful - but your guide blows em away.  Its succint, no nonsense and clear.

I'd graduated through the last year from PF TEK, through shoeboxes, and thanks to your inspiration Ive today loaded up two EZ dial monotubs to see how they go.  Took extra care to get them clean, flat tidy etc.  Great to not be bothering with bloody liners.

As with some other posters, I found the coir tek hydration ratio of 4.6 didnt work for me, way too wet for my coir - two bricks of coir @ about 1100 grams required 8 cups verm to get to Field capacity.  So I ended up with CVG. (without the gypsum)

But no coir is created equal right.

I spawned the tubs at 3:1 - diont have the balls to go to 4:1 as per your recommendation just yet....

As with other posters, I would love it if you could get something written up on second flush.  I have the devil of a problem with this,  and I think its round judging rehydration.  Dont really know what is best way to approach this?  Heavy misting?  Dunking?  Taking the tubs to the bath with you......?

Keep it up Beef, great work.

PS - image of grow tent attached, two sorry looking shoeboxes on second flush on top shelf, new leaf ezy dial tubs as per your instructions on middle....

Yup - get it on the coir.  Previously Ive been using cvg recipes as promulgated by PGT and the like on youtube which have worked just fine - but since  reading Beefs post and the outdated teks thread it seems you dont need gypsum, nor coffee, nor verm.  Which is great news.

Nor liners…

Im in heaven, life just got a darn sight simpler…

So i just have to work out what water ratio my particular coir requires - I used the verm to bring it back to FC from the soggy mess that a 4.6 multiple took it to…..

And if anyone can point me to a thread on a reliable up to date  tek for rehydrating after first flush

Have a good night, toodle pip….

Incidentally - on the shoeboxes - my journey this last year was started on PF tek in SFC, now long since abandoned but good for getting started -  and then to shoeboxes as they seemed so easy - and they are. 

But this EZY Dial Mono Tub linked in Beefs thread here seems a good compromise, it doesnt have a lot of fart arsing about with tape and so on, only a few holes to drill - Ive opted for 25 litre tubs, which is I fairly equivalent on quarts, so not too big - be interested to see how they handle the FAE and humidity.  Straight to fruiting conditions too - in a nutshell, looking for the 'do as little as possible' tek...
