Coco Fiber...POLL
    #313748 -

Hey All,

With Coco Fiber being the latest rage, there has been alot going around about peoples experiences with it. I was just thinking that it would be a good idea to have a little poll, just to inform people of your success and failure, what brands to use and what brands to stay away from, and any TEKs that you have had success/failure with. I am conducting an experiement now with coco fiber and will post my results as soon as available.

Please could you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest

Grow-Brick
Success as casing material and in wood-based substrates.

Natural Beginnings Seed-Starting Mix
Success as a bulk substrate, spawned w/ colonized rye.

For each quart jar:
200 ml rye flour (presoaked or cooked)
50 ml earthworm castings
100 ml vermiculite (could sub coir here probably)
50 ml spring water
PC 70 min @ 15 psi

Cool, Innoculate, wait.

To prepare bulk substrate, just add water to seed starting mix and PC to sterilize. I cooked mine in jars, but bags would probably work even better.

Allow to cool. Crumble spawn and mix w/ bulk sub in tray. Cover and wait for colonization.

Finally, scratch surface of colonized bulk sub and apply coir (grow brick, not seed mix) casing. Allow to grow through, then initiate fruiting.

As well as http://growstuffplus.com. I think, a friend ordered it and it says milleniumsoils coir on it. Looks the exact same except for the label. Says all the same things but is designed different with different name. Is this the same or equivalent? It says all organic, no added chemicals, free from weed seeds and pathogens.

I've been wanting to try coco fiber as a substrate but I haven't been able to find any around here. I don't know of any shops around here that I would think carried it either. Does anyone know of any good sites on the net for ordering this stuff?

It's my first try with coco and it seems to be running great. No signs of contams yet...though to be sure I have to give it more time. It already ran through it about 1/3 and it is only been 2 days. The mycelium looks really healthy too..much better then the peat/verm casing I used before and better then just straight verm too. Let's just hope it keeps going this way.

Coco fiber is all I’ve ever used... I believe it’s the simplest uncomplicated cost efficient substrate out...
I’ve got a couple pictures I’ll upload.... I don’t like to talk as much as I’d rather show so, with that being said....



This package right here contains 3 bricks of coir. Personally I will mix 1 brick to every 3 quarts of grain spawn, I believe the suggested ratios on the package are a LITTLE high but believe it or not you can mix grain spawn with surprisingly over saturated coir and it’ll be fine, it will just require less misting; but that mycelium will devour every last bit of that water up if you get to fruiting stage...




Spawned to bulk on 3/7.....  any questions please fire away, like I said you can’t beat the simplicity


--------------------
Hope I can help
          &
Thanks for the help!
