coco coir storage

[Ckbrew]

Question for those using coco coir. After you mix up a batch, rinsing, buffering, perlite, can the mixture be stored for later use, how long, let it dry out or keep moist? Thanks.

You would want to dry it out as much as one can after pre-buffering then keep mixing it up every few days if it is still wet. O at least I have done this with no mold issues. Just make sure you have enough because it is a lot of work / time to find out you need another brick for the 4 gal pots..

This is spot on, the only issue is with mold so make sure you dry it out thoroughly before storing.
