Just use normal covering straw from a garden supply store. The kind you use when u lay down fresh grass seed so that the birds don't eat it. Water content huh Y. Just use one brick of coco coir inflate it with one gallon of water. Mix in your straw till you have enough to pack in to a 5gallon paint straining bag. Tie of the bag with a zip tie. Pasteurize. After 3 hours take the bag out the water. lay the bag over the separator for your kitchen sinks till it stops dripping. Open bag and mix spawn and substrate usually 3/4 of a gallon per bag and bingo. Awesomeness

after that i le it sit in my incubator and didn't look at it for two weeks. when i took a look at it i was fucked.



bulk substrates do not go into an incubator, that was probably what did it. they create their own heat so you should put them somewhere at room temp.

ok dude i can't make it any simpler add one gallon of water to your coir brick, this is not to hydrate it just to inflate the compressed coir. after that just add straw until you can fill one whole 5gallon paint straining bag once the bag is full tie off then dunk in your pasturizing water and the straw will absorb over the three hours of pasturizing all the water it needs. I have no clue how much water it absorbs just submerge and heat. If needs be over the three hours add water if it becomes unsubmerged. K?
