Disposing Huge amount of coco
- Thread starter BBQ

. The other obvious alternative is to switch over to something like hydrocorn or rockwool which can be reused nearly indefinitely, or recycled fairly easily.

i would dump it over next doors fence...haha
Dealer shit...i hope your importing that much directly yourself from the islands.
Hell you could probably build an island after a few runs if you could get it to harden up some.

Get yourself some shovels, burlap bags, and a silk screen printer and you're good to go!

I would be going into the compost business.....
IMO guy is probably full of shit first off 40,000 liters of coco hahaha REally now liters is a measurement of liquid
Coco coir is weight in pounds or cubic feet huge difference folks and holds up to 11 times its weight in volume
2.5 cubic feet = 70.7921165 liters ADD that to pounds Seriously you just have to figure it out from there more like couple 54 foot semi trailers to just bring it there if not more to get just the coco there hahaha BS something this big legal or not would not be brought up here SORRY
now its used so you can figure 300 liters coming in at around 400 kg would b my guess

sell it. advertise on the shroomery. im sure plenty of people there would buy it if the price was right. I think you have to have either 50 or 100 posts though to access the marketplace forum

man.. I thought the entire point of using coco.. was that u could reuse it for a bunch of runs.. and then even after that u can mix 1 to 1 with new.. and use more..
my friend uses coco.. and he takes this knife and cuts out the stalk and a big enough whole in the root system to put a beer cup clone in.. to get it ready.. he says he just tosses in some Enzymes and lets it sit for a WEEK before transplanting clones into the pots.. he doesn't empty the pots . just cuts out the stalk.. and transplants and continues his grow.. with 0 issues.. and great quality and yields..
he also said.. he can use up to 4 runs.. with no issues.. then he does a CLEAN on it .. with a flushing agent.. and then mixes a very light nute solution.. with a ton of enzymes.. and lets them sit for 2 weeks.. then reuses AGAIN he said every few runs he makes sure all the roots that were in the coco are broken down and used as food.. it seems to work for him.. he buys COCO 1 time a year.. and always half of the original purchase.

But seriously though i can use that why waste it
Wait, what?
Litres/gallons are used as denominations of volume, most pot sizes are expressed as volume, i.e. five gallon pot.
In this instance 40,000 litres distills to approximately 2000 5gallon pots, 1000 10gallon pots, and so on….

I've found it best to pretend he didn't even post
What you've just done, as I have before, is feed the beast.

liters are fine.. u can use liters to measure medium.. a 5 gallon pail holds about 20 liters.
I would look into a NFT system. That much coco generates a ton (literally) of waste and man hours. Either profit from waste or look at methods that do not use coco or soil such as NFT or raft system.
coco is sold in 50 litre bags in europe
