I found that the bricks in the oven left a lot of living eggs because the dry coco does not conduct heat efficiently throughout the brick, it takes soooo long to get the center up to the same temps as the surface that it ends up heating your house up excessively. I have to boil maybe nine pots of water to prep a brick, and once it's mixed with perlite I get 40-45 gallons of medium, which is more than enough if you're using coco properly, you don't need five gallon pots per plant with coco, I pull a half pound dry from a plant in a 2gal just fine.
Takes me a half hour to boil two bricks, and two 5kg bricks fills my oven and would take 8-10 hours to thoroughly heat in its compressed dry state. Boil water for half an hour or sit in a sweltering hot house for 10hrs, I'll stick with the hot water
