Spawning to Bulk: Rye>Coir Q's
    #7455150 - 09/26/07 10:22 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Search function pops up so many threads, some related, most not. I need a tried and true recipe for a coir mix, to be used for a rye>coir spawn.

I have found differing answers on this topic.

Is lime necessary for the coir as a spawning substrate? i have found RR says no, it is only needed for the casing layer, to help prevent contams.

I found a couple of recipes for the mixinf of coir/gypsum/lime.

I am looking to spawn rye grains >coir mix and fruit in a martha. I am looking for an appropriate tek.

I use 6 cups coir, 1 cup gypsum, and 1 cup spent coffee grounds. No need for lime, and the gypsum and coffee are optional as well. I've gotten wall to wall pins and flushes using just coir.

Dear Lightningbolt,

I have used an 80% / 20% coir to spent coffee grounds ratio a few times for bulk substrate (trays and monotubs) with good success.

So ..... I did 8 cups coir, 2 cups coffee grounds and 1/4 cup hydrated lime (HyYield brand). Worked well.

Next time, I will break up some drywall for gypsum and use that.

I used a spawn to bulk substrate ratio of 1:3 or 1:4 .....

Good luck, have fun,

Rico

my understanding is that the lime is only really a potential option if coffee grounds have been added..

a mix of coir/coffee/gypsum/lime seems to be a pretty successful substrate.. something like 75/15/10/as needed.

check out the substrate section in the archive and mitch's journal for a couple of detailed explanations on successful use of coir.
