Hey I just bought a bunch of coconut fiber susbtrate that I have used a few time but I bought it at the Hydroponic store and it is not wrapped.

Just wanted to know if anybody can tell me how much water to add to 1 brick ? I can't remember.

Thanks
Charles

Depends on how big the brick is.... for the small ones, add 3 to 4 litres of water.

It goes a LONG way....

I used 1/2 a brick to cover a 20 gallon tank, and I had lots :)

i dont measure how much water i use, i just keep adding water until the whole brick has expanded with no extra water left at the bottom.



Thanks,
Ben

I personally just throw a brick into a big tub of hot water than dump it through a strainer.

I just add water until the brick is completely down it's absorption with no extra water. It can absorb a lot so don't underestimate.
