Because the brick doesn't always weigh 650g. Its just what its labeled as. This is the reason I don't like coir "recipes".

I use a high-capacity scale and i weigh the brick. the math is as follows:

Brick weight (in grams) X 4.25 = Water volume (in ml)

It generally puts you on the dry side of field capacity but its real easy to add water and a real pita to remove it so its a good starting point.

I break up the bricks with a screwdriver and then weigh each buckets worth on a digital scale to 650 grams.

Lid removal is safer than a ship. But you can absolutely grow a clean culture out on agar, and add lc broth. Or you can make the agar extra strong and just add sterile water.

See - Pastywhyte's EzLC tek.

I have a question about the Bucket TEK. Why is that, when using the same recipe of 1 gallon of water to 650 grams of coir, the coir sometimes comes out to field capacity when other times it comes out soupy and verm must be added to it to get it to field capacity? Same inputs and same brand of coir.
