Coco Coir Woot!
    #6029299 - 09/04/06 07:22 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

Hey Guys for all of you who say coco coir sucks as a sub take a look at these.


Thats about 8 pounds wet. I had 3 grams dry and they are the strongest mushies I have had to date.

Rock on, and smoke on!

Good to see results. I'm using this right now with some coffee grounds and calcium carbonate. Mine just colonized 2 days ago and i applied a 50/50+ casing. Waiting for good spots on the surface so they can see light and fresh air.

8 POUNDS wet. LOL! 128 oz./10 = 12.8 oz. dry from 2 dishpan casings? You're the man. :rofl:

Very nice grow though.

What tek did you use? what did you case with? what was the spawn?
It's just... so... beautiful.

Very Nice :thumbup: But I have to agree with the man above , those aren't 6 1/2 ounces dryed per casing . I've seen casings produce 5 ounces dry , and it was a lot more , and bigger fruits , then either of those casings .

You used Coir as a substrate? Is there a link to this tek? I might try it.

those who say coir doesn't make a good substrate simply don't know what they're talking about. :smile:

good job :thumbup:

I knew it would be a great sub as soon as I tried using it as a casing layer ,LMAO :grin:

I just prefer poo . I've got a 20 pound brick of coir that's been laying around for a year and a half now . Maybe I'll spawn it up and get rid of it .

spawnitup!  you might think twice in the future about playing around with animal excrement in your kitchen! :smile:

haha that aside mixing it WITH poo works fantastic too.  you could save it for a rainy day when you're low on the poo to stretch it out... though from what ive heard you got a secret warehouse full of tennstud around so that's not a problem either... :wink:

Hey guys. I used LC to WBS to Coir with bone and blood meal cased with 50/50 +. The weight blew my mind I can't even figure out how to dry all this shit. These casings were very very dense. It took me 4 hours to pick and clean. Total is about 8 pounds wet. Lets just say all these mushrooms fill about 100 square feet as one layer, gonna need to rig up a crazy dehydrator. Shout out to AGAR your coir grow inspired me as did RoadKill's.

Also the potency is amazing with the addition of blood and bone meal. I used 1 large Tbls to one small brick of coir.

BTW the casings were about 6 pounds of sub in each container. I had to pick them by grabng hand full sized clusters. I would say each tray was about 15-20 hand full clusters. The whole casing was one big cluster, it tore up my entire casing layer.

So currently I have 24 Quart jars of RYE that have been knocked up and are now in my TIT. I was going to follow the Magash tek for everything but what would you all recommend... I am using the same dish washing pans as you... I have 12 of them with a 3 shelf Martha. Which means i think i could fit 4 on each shelf... which would be really loading it up... After fully colonized should I just case the rye with 2 quarts in each pan with coir/verm, or more if i use less tubs. Advise, tips, anything would be much appreciated

My coir/coffee sub just contamed. It was my first try (growing) and it got bacteria at about 80% colonized. It stinks like industrial fumes. I'm in mourning, but plan to find some more spores and try again :frown:

Sorry, thought I'd share, but good luck to you :smile:

My coir contamed too. I think it was just sloppy handling of it when I was hydrating it. I tried to be as clean as possible, but I probably cut some corners too. It was about 70-80% colonized when the green mold set in. I opened it smelled like what I can only imagine Tuncan Sam's asshole smelled like. If you were perhaps wondering what Tuncan Sam's asshole taste like go try some Tab soda.

I used 6 - 12qt sweaterboxes. Even with the flush/large fruits and everything. I got just over 10 oz's dry.

Thos 2 tubs can't produce that much dry. But what a nice pinset indeed. Keep up the coir work, i found that mine got a case of the mean green after the first flush. But sure did put out some whoppers!!! :eek:

If you pasteurize the coir and raise the ph to 8, you can easily get 3 or 4 flushes out of it if you clean the substrate well in between them.

In fact, I never used a liming material when using husks from a coconut. Just pasteurized and that's it.

Hot water Pasturization


( I like this with the exception of changing the temp on my hot water heater. I just heat water to 170 in my pc pots and put inside a cooler for about an hour and 1/2)
