spawning to coir??
    #5894185 - 07/24/06 12:17 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I've seen a few people mention spawning grains to coir instead of poo or straw. I couldnt find a tek for this - anyone have a link?

My friend no longer uses coir in his casings and has some left, so he thought this may be a good experiment to increase yields.

Any personal experiences with this would be appreciated also.

Thanks
D

i just made a total of 5 coir only casings cased with peat/verm, no contams and fully colonized in between 2 and 3 days. spawn ratios i used were like 1:2 on all but 1 which was experimental 1:5 ratio.

edit: i forgot to mention that i added coffee to all of mine as well. I use raw coffee grounds

Spawning to coir is excellent... You can even do coir+kelp meal or coir+blood meal, or coir+coffee grounds to up the nitrogen content (since straight coir doesn't seem to provide enough nitrogen for several flushes by itself)

Works great so far, my first 4 coir/coffee trays are pinning like mad right now!

Can you tell me what ratio to use coir:coffee grounds? Coffee is acidic...will this be a problem? Would i add lime to it to lower PH?

No, lime will raise the pH.

I think you meant to say you made a total of 5 coir substrates. The peat/verm is the casing.
