Vegetable oil after pasteurization ?

So I guess its two questions in one. I have been asking for help on a bulk mix, and got some great feed back. I ended up with 60 cups of coir, 15 cups of coffee grounds, 6 cups of gyspum, 3 cups of kelp meal. I am absolutely terrible at math but sure this boils down to 60%/25%/10%/5%. I am just double checking before I spawn it. My second question is vegetable, after searching and reading mix reports I thought I'd try it. But, I forgot to toss in some vegetable oil, before I pasteurization the above mix. I was curious if it was alright to put some in after pasteurization , or should I really not worry about it.

from what i understand it actually isn't all that beneficial and you are supposed to add it before pasteurization. i have never used it personally (i don't really think i need it), but everyone i have personal experience with that has said it wasn't that great. just stick to what you have and i promise, if all your procedures are good, you will not be disappointed. and if for some strange alien reason that substrate mix doesn't knock your proverbial socks off then try adding it next time.

Alright, well I have scratched the v. oil idea, and have moved the bulk into their respective mono tubs. Unfortunately , I can not spawn to them yet, as they are still a little on the warm side. The water content wasn't at field capacity, so I misted them quite nicely, and got it to around the desired level. I am hoping the move from the pillow case to the tubs in the Lysol dowsed room will have been quick/sterile enough to not damage anything.

IME coir mixes are pretty difficult to contam. i wouldnt worry. but get to spawning quick. i will cover my pillow cases in ice after pasteurization while still in the cooler too cool them down FAST. works great

It's all about the flocculation.

Alrighty, well the coir has been spawned, and sitting under a blanket for a couple days. I feel I have missed too many steps/pictures to start a grow log. Makes me sad.

care to elaborate a bit? I searched flocculation....and the results were pretty lame.

After the spawn to bulk, do they need fae? I have them under a blanket to help with the temps because it's really cold here. Its a monotub with tyvek filters instead of polyfil, so I figured they had enough echange without me having to open the lid.

The humidity is doing surprisingly well, the next time i'll open it will be for the casing. Gunna try late casing with 50/50.

Flocculation of a substrate gives it a more appealing structure for mycelium to colonize. Gypsum can be used for flocculation.
