Too Late To Add More Coir?
    #7508941 - 10/11/07 01:23 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Two days ago I spawned 6 jars of WBS to coir.  I did not know I could go up to like a 1/8 (wbs/coir) ratio so I stuck to about 1/1 ratio.  I just learned that I can have a much higher ratio and was wondering if it is too late to add more coir to the mix.  From what I know fruit size is proportionate to substrate/casing depth, so if this is going to help me out it would be great.

Thanks :smile:

What is an ideal ratio? Ideal in terms of fruit size...not time.

Fruit size depends on thickness of substrate and your technique. Most people go around 1:4 or 5 with a substrate depth of 5 to 6 inches (monotub)

If you're growing cubes, I'd suggest keeping your substrate down to 3", with 1/2" of casing material. In a 13" X 9" container, 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of casing material will give the desired casing depth.
