In this video, I'll show you how to pasteurize a bulk substrate, using the Bucket Tek Method, a simple and effective way to prepare your coco coir for mushroom cultivation.
I demonstrate how to pasteurize the coir using the Bucket Tek Method, which involves filling a large bucket with boiling water and immersing the coir in the water for several hours. This process ensures that any harmful bacteria or contaminants are eliminated, creating a safe and sterile environment for mushroom growth. Then, I squeeze out the excess water and get the coir to field capacity, the ideal moisture level for mushroom growth.
By following these simple steps, you'll have a high-quality bulk substrate that is ready for the next stage of the mushroom cultivation process, spawning to bulk. So if you're looking to grow mushrooms at home, be sure to try out the Bucket Tek Method for pasteurizing your coco coir.
The next step in the mushroom cultivation process is Spawning-to-Bulk. Be sure to check out my video on how to Spawn-to-Bulk here: [ Ссылка ]
