Hello Shroomery!
Updated: 4/10/13 For those of you looking for the dunking/rehydrating section, go here. I often read of questions from growers trying to troubleshoot a particular problem specific to their grow with no luck from the search function, so I thought I’d write a post encompassing some of the common fruiting dilemmas and their respective solutions derived from all the pointers I’ve read on pinning/fruiting strategy and troubleshooting. I am by no means an expert, but I do browse the site quite a bit and have received many thanks after helping those struggling with their projects.
I assuredly have much to learn, but hopefully I can impart at least some of the knowledge I have attained from my reading and from what little experience I have acquired in my quest towards mastery.

Which turned into this... 3. What are the optimum P. cubensis growth parameters? How to do Coir. I have been asked several times how do I prepare my coir, so here is a quick step by step on how I prepare my coir.
I have done it this way about 20-25 times with no contamination's before the 3rd flush. This is a very elementary tek but it works wonders. Supplies Needed 1 Brick of Coir2 Quarts of Verm5 Quarts of SpawnA 5 gallon bucket with a lid For the above recipe I pour 4 or 4.5 quarts of water into a pan or in this case my Pressure Cooker. I place 1 brick of coir in a 5 gallon bucket. Pour 2 quarts of vermiculite into the 5 gallon bucket with the coir. Take the boiling water off the stove. Pour the boiling water into the 5 gallon bucket over the coir/verm mix.
Put the lid on the bucket and let it sit for 30-60 minutes. After the 30-60 minutes you need to come back and stir everything up really well. Everything A New Cultivator Needs To Know!

First, take all of the jars that are to be used and wash them really good and allow them to dry. Open your bag of WBS and pour enough of it into a jar so as to fill it up little less than 1/2 way. Dump this into a colander(strainer) and repeat for each jar used. Cleaning the WBS: The purpose of these first few steps is to thoroughly clean your WBS and to remove any and as much of the unwanted additives as possible and to remove any unwanted seeds such as the Black Sunflower Seeds along with any 'Floaters' Rinse: Run warm tap water over your WBS and mix it up under the water, really well. Wash: Place the WBS into a large pot and fill with water, covering the WBS completely over with about 2 inches of water on top. Now, you see all of those seeds? They are Millet(Whitish/yellow) milo(Redish/brown) Wheat(Tan) and Sunflower(Black)
