Spawning to coir?
    #8053304 - 02/21/08 07:06 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I have read many threads on the question im going to ask but I seem to always find people have mixed answers. My question is, if doing BRF cakes...would it benefit me at all to spawn to coir then case with 50/50 verm and peat? Or should I just skip the coir and case the cakes with the 50/50? I have read that spawning to coir could increase yields but being inexperienced, I do not know if this be the case? Thanks

Please tell me where you read that coir wouldn't increase yields?

yes, spawning to any additional substrate will increase yields assuming the substrate offers beneficial nutrients to the mycelium which coir certainly does

Does anyone know how much bigger the contam risk would be spawning to coir? And any suggestions for the casing itself? Would it be safe to assume I want to mix 50/50 substrate to coir and fill whatever container I use about 3 inches with that mix, then the extra half inch casing layer?

you need to start researching, it will get you further much more quickly than posting a question for every step

that said, spawning in any situation is somewhat more sensitive than fruiting directly simply because you are introducing more opportunity for contaminations to take hold, but if proper sterile conditions are followed success is probable
