kramer read this post a couple weeks ago and decieded to try em both(because he can).well...he claims there is not that much differance in the pf jars...but...there is a noticable differance in casing(course is better). get the course if you can only get one kind(fine will work). :shocked:note:you may wanna hold back on the brf a little with fine verm.or not :wink: and the perlite is not nessesairy. or not

In reply to:

You can't draw any conclusions from only using a dozen jars of each. Try doing this for years and you will find that the fine verm is definately better.



Yeah sure what ever you say Max!

I like the medium grade Verm the best for Cakes and casing.

Well, redtide, like I said before if you can explain this theory in full i might reconsider, after tests of course. And its funny how your "years" of study oppose the decades of combined study of other ppl. The only reason that mycelium could spread faster through a fine substrate is that more colonized kernels are touching un colonized kernels, in other words mycelium doesnt have to go around air pockets to get to substrate. But since mycelium needs oxygen to grow.. u need those air pockets.

Try thinking of it this way. You have a completely enclosed area, made out of steel, or something else that wont burn. Now lets say in this area you have some wood thrown in there, all the way up to the ceiling, but not organized just thrown in there. Lets say you start a fire in there.. well that shit is probably gonna burn pretty damn fast. But lets take that same room and stack all those pieces of wood nice and neatly so that you utilize every little space. Well, now you dont really have any air in the room so you might be able to burn a little bit of the wood, but not much. Same thing kinda happened with the substrate. You have to find a good balance to make the "fire" thrive. Coarse vermiculite just does a better job of this.

And lazyvegan, why did you respond to me? I was not one of the ppl who said that fine was better to use.
