Bulk coir depth
    #9103775 - 10/20/08 11:27 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I swore Id wait until my first grow with cakes is done to get into bulk, but time is passing very slowly :smile:

Anyway, I got some coir for a bulk substrate and was planning on putting it in buckets to spawn. Whats a good depth for the substrate? Obviously the thinner I make it the more surface area Ill have, but would deeper substrate depts produce more flushes or at least the same number of fruits in the long run? I would rather have a moderate number of fruits per flush with many flushes over a longer timeframe vs a lot of fruits and fewer flushes over a shorter timeframe.

thanks

4-6 inches. 8 if you are confident in your abilities.

Deeper subs produce better to a certain point. I personally do not go over 6 inches deep. Yes they will produce heavy flushes and for the number of flushes it is strain specific. If you have a good fruiting strain you will be in heaven. Spawn them heavier than you would with a shallower container.

Nothing special. I am giving you points on cubes in general.
