I'm too new to get willy nilly with my procedures. I need to know, beyond a doubt, what works for me.

I have ship's, rtv, and sfd's on deck, jic. Gonna roll with unmodded lids until I see a need for anything else. Maybe MS/LC/LI? I dunno. Not there yet...

:douchewink:

Thanks for the info on storage options. I have a large, gasketed container I use for cat food. Like you said CMH, that would work well.

Still need to nab a bucket for coir. Those screw tops look nice, Henry.



Look into getting a 5 gallon insulated drink cooler for doing your coir.

Like this



Use this as your dedicated bucket for coir. I know it's already been mentioned but label them and only ever put coir in it. Same goes for your grain bucket. It's so important I'm definitely repeating it.

But yeah the 5 gallon insulated cooler is perfect. Holds temperature really well without having to wrap blankets and stuff around it. You also don't have to worry about the Heat and vacuum deforming your bucket. Which did happen to me once with one of those orange  Home Depot buckets with the gasketed lids that does a super tight seal.



Waste of $ use 5 gallon bucket or tote.  The insulation doesnt benefit anything



I stopped using the ones I got from home depot cause the seal was too tight. It would vacuume. And I kept ending up with this




I can't remember. Feel like it was bod who recommends the insulated cooler.

But ya i agree  20-30$ is not the cheapest option.  I  do like how sturdy it is.


Your water is way too hot.  Luke warm fine.  Cold fine (just takes longer) boiling 100% unnecessary

Speaking on the metal vs plastic lid front, I will say that I reused metal lids I used form my 1st pf tek grow for my 1st spawn jars with success. I double layered the medical tape over the holes. Didnt have sfds or ships on hand but I figured I'd give it a go. That is all. Carry on. 😁

P.S. Them pins can pack a punch for how small they are! "Accidentally" dosed myself cleaning a harvest. Didn't realize until halfway to the restaurant that evening! 😅

metal lids last 1-2 yrs before rusting. I have plastic lids almost 20 yrs old still kickin

Your water is way too hot.  Luke warm fine.  Cold fine (just takes longer) boiling 100% unnecessary



For sure.  The only reason i do boiling water and the insulated cooler specifically is from following

BOD's Bucket TEK for Coir substrate (an adaptation of the elementary coir tek by Damion5050)


Where he says

"Why it works
Coir or CVG(coir verm gypsum)
DOES NOT require pasteurization, there are no beneficial thermophilic microbes thus there's no reason to pasteurize.

Partial sterilization is 170F for 10 minutes. Of course this is not true sterilization but it's past pasteurization.

Coir works better cooked, you can simply hydrate coir with tap water and use it as a substrate, but mycelium enjoys cooked coir more, hence why I use an insulated bucket.

I find the temperatures in the bucket to be well above 170F over an hour later. This makes the coir come out a nice dark color which is what I look for."




Now obviously these are just his words and no proof to back it. I just know he always been pretty respected around here. And it just happens to be the second tek I read.  First one  said use hot water and wrap with blankets to insulate  and try and hold heat. But that warped the bucket. 

Anyways I've got the cooler now and it works great. For many things. But I do agree with you its  completely unnecessary and expensive

I have some BRF jars that have green and black mold on sides.

Would it be a good way to proceed to open them submerged in a bucket of water?

Trust me I know this isn't the first time you showed me and won't be the last time I told you I'm very jealous lol:yourock:

Ps. I have searched everywhere around my area and surrounding areas looking for something similar but have had no luck.

I don't really see any green in these pics, besides some bruising on a fruit. Can you draw a circle where you see green?

Seems like a great product! However , no price on their website and cant figure out from BC, CAN what is their delivery limit in the continental 48. That might be good to split with cultivators that might be local to each other 2-4  different ways. 2750 liters is a lot of coir!

Mixed up some Coir a couple of months ago and didn't use it all. It has been sealed up, but it dried out. Can I just boil some water and rehydrate it?

Check if it's not just the surface. If it stands for a while the surface dries out a little. But if it's been stored sealed, the rest is probably still pretty damp.
(Before you put enough water on to make it too soggy and have to squeeze it all to capacity).
