casing without vermiculite
    #4976089 - 11/24/05 11:58 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

i didnt plan well enough. ive had my jars colonizing for like 3 weeks (popcorn if it matters) and theyre ready to case, except i cant find any vermiculite anywhere. i read the casing teks, but it seems like i need vermiculite for all of em. is there a tek for casing without vermiculite? or should i just go buy some online.

You can use peat or coir instead.

ok, but im a dumbass. say i go buy a bag of peat, or even coir, or both, do i need to check the ph? and how do i check the ph? i can get ph test strips from work, but i only seen em used for liquids. would it be better to case with straight peat or straight coir as opposed to making like a 60/40 mixture of them? ive been reading teks, but im still confused.

oh, and where does lime and tums come into play?

and i thought the casing layer was supposed to be a non nutrient layer to provied moisture, but then why would i want to put shit like clam shells on it? im down to experiment with anything and learn something new, but im really confused. my last casing layer was straight verm.

sorry for all the questions
