    @2:23 - I did the bucket tek (with a cooler) and let it sit for a day or so. Then I mixed it well and packed in foodsaver bags. I let it sit back in the cooler in sealed bags with a sous vide cooker at 170F for about 90 minutes. I think this should cover me.

    You shouldn't have to spray your grain unless you have dry grow area, it needs to already have moisture in it, during fruiting only very lightly mist when needed

    No need for a liner if you pack your tub right and keep it hydrated so it doesn't shrink... And popcorn being big grain probably helps the cake hold it's shape.......

    He's referring to the substrate which is made of coconut shell or Hull ground up it's actually pronounced like coyer .. his mispronunciation of the word is a common mistake because it looks French but it's not Coyer
