Can I save this substrate? 2nd flush?
    #28685503 - 03/03/24 07:19 PM (3 months, 21 days ago)

I’ve grown quite a few successful monotubs now. I just harvested this tub of B+ and it did a number on the substrate getting them up. Lots of chunks in there. I should have harvested yesterday but something came up and I didn’t get to it. The substrate is coco coir. Usually, I’ll just do a heavy mist and put it back in fruiting conditions for a second flush. What should I do with this one though? Throw away the loose stuff? Wet it down and pack it in there? My second flushes usually produce a few big shrooms. But not big canopies. How can I improve?

I either just mist it real good after waiting 24-36hrs for it to start recovering, but sometimes I'll very lightly even the top out with fresh coir and mist real well + wait.  Works fine just like that though :thumbup:  Killer tub, man.:radman:  Not much to improve lol.  After heavy first flushes you generally won't get anything near a canopy second flush.  Bigger and less is standard :thumbup:

Thanks! I have done that before too. Just a light layer of coir to smooth it out. And I just get more sporadic, bigger shrooms. On the first flush, the biggest ones are maybe four inches tall at most. Plenty of them though and lots of smaller ones. I got carried away with this growing stuff and have eight tubs going right now.

If the shrooms are pulling up that much coir I usually switch to cutting them off.


But yeah I’d give it a day or two and then dump a couple cups of water on it or soak it with a spray bottle.
