Vermiculite got wet

#16375171 - 06/13/12 09:36 AM (11 months, 2 hours ago)

I had a big bag of vermiculite, but it got wet from rain the other day. It was sitting outside, but now it's inside in a plastic sack and it seems pretty dry. If i was to spawn to some coir/verm will the verm that got wet contaminate my grow? Is there anyway to sterilize it better from here. Cant really pc thats still coming in the mail. =/

Id bake it in the oven at 350 for an hour. Vermiculite shouldnt be able to support bacteria but just to be safe, id bake it. Better safe than sorry.

Working with wet verm is messy and sucks.

Do you really want to learn or are you just here for the drugs? :facepalm:

Dunk your grains before spawning to bulk, share your results!
