Moistness of subtrate.
    #5340252 - 02/26/06 07:22 AM (18 years, 1 month ago)

Alright So i made some new jars last night because my first three were too dry and i was wondering if anyone knows what a correct jars substrate would feel like (BRF) Should it be sticky and damp or what any comments would be appreciated.

its kinda a cross between sticky and damp, lol

just use the ratios of 2:1:1 and you'll be fine....thats 2 parts vermiculite, 1 part brown rice flower, 1 part water.....and a measuring cup is your best friend when it comes to making a good mix

:peace:

Follow the recipe or your moisture content can be off this is one of the most important steps. The ratio's are everywhere just search! It's not wise to judge by using your finger as that can be way off. GL
