if you mean bulk substrate... i like to pasteurize it! :tongue:

but if you mean literally spawn as in BRF or WBS... it has to be pressure cooked. And the min you can get away with is boiling the fudge out of BRF. Bringing it to 60 celcius won't do jack!

I like to pasteurize my bulk substrate because I'm too lazy to bring out the PC, but whatever works is fine.

well think about it like this - if you sterilize your bulk substrate you'll need the rest of the tub (or whatever you're growing in) and the environment to be just as sterile! You'd be essentially doing a grain-2-grain kinda maneuver with the bulk. On the other hand, pasteurizing bulk gets rid of the bad shiz and leaves enough friendly micro-organisms to keep the bulk healthy and comparatively safer from the bad guys :smile:

To pasteurize coir do I just pour a gallon of boiling water on the brick?

well not boiling... you want to get it to around 60 degrees Celsius and keep it there for about an hour so I'd say like just under the boil pour it over the brick, insulate the bucket (with a lid and towel wrapped around or something) and let it sit there doing it's stuff :thumbup:

sterilizing isnt all that bad either i have done this just recently with good results all you have to make sure of is that the sub gets colonized within 5-8 days after that contams "could" set in.
