Surely the ratio should come second to actually squeezing the coir to check if you have a good field capacity?

Oh my. I think I figured out a big oops.  I’ve been having problems with my tubs stalling.  In the water equation, I included the brick in the total weight. 


Ex. 600g brick x 4.25 = 2550g (or 2.55 LITERS)

But, after rereading it, I think it’s 2550g in addition to the 609g of coir.

Hi bud, sorry to hear about your stalling tubs, I know the feeling Good news is you probably found the reason and I bet your next tub will improve a lot

It's a good thing to follow a trusted TEK from a trusted cultivater so you are on the right path and that is great, well done. As mentioned, even though the TEK is sound, coir ain't always the same, so I would suggest to always check field capacity by mixing the cooled coir and then squeezing a a hand full before use, keep up the good work buddy, you'll figure it out in no time

See what I did there @DERRAYLD?

I should probably explain myself rather than posing this logic debates constantly.

Sorry man, I think your answer is spot on, like they always are, I'm just joking around while I wait for my grains to dry

I recently realized it should be a light squeeze, not a “Leia giving Jabba the business” choke.

You halved the amount of casing in the updated tek. Do you do that across all grows or do you keep a thicker casing for PE?

Thanks for all of your detailed work. It’s a godsend for me.
