Starbucks Coffee
    #7840149 - 01/06/08 03:35 PM (16 years, 26 days ago)

So after a long hiatus from this hobby i have returned and for my first venture back into the sport i have decided to try out coir/coffee as a substrate. Anyways I just returned from starbucks to acquire some spent coffee grounds and here is what i got:



the biggest bag of grounds ever!



that should be more than enough to last a while! i am planning on doing somewhere around a 60/40 ratio of coir to coffee in a 30 gal monotub, where the 60 is prolly going to be just one brick of coir, i have 6qts of rye done so not sure if i will just say fuck it and use all of it as spawn or only a couple qts. anyone have any tips or suggestion for this substrate, or more specifically getting the water content right with the coffee?

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

THe good thing about me living in a country that drinks real coffee is that there is a bar on every corner that tosses two or three bags a day (at least) like that, and they are all happy to give you the grounds. I could supply the whole shroomery with coffee grounds.

I gotta say that im getting really interested in coffee grounds, i need to try the coir/coffee sometime.

I work in the pub, so i can get tonnes of used coffee grounds from them :smile:

I dont need that much, i might just take a big jar into work now and then, and fill it up.

Coir is my favorite substrate to use and I always add some grounds to it,the only problem I see here is (Unless you use them all now) how will you prevent those grounds from growing mold
