Fine Vermiculite ok?
    #15165763 - 10/02/11 08:20 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

I'm new to mushroom cultivation and I recently have just started my grow. I have about 12 PF tek jars incubating right now with a mix of fine vermiculite and brown rice flour. I was wondering if the fine vermiculite is going to effect the colonization time, or possibly the yield?  I wasnt sure if a thicker grain vermiculite was better or not?



Any comments would be appreciated!

You can use either, but yes it can affect the colonization times. Just be sure to not pack your substrate too tightly in the jars.

I didn't ever even think to search it because it wasn't really that much of a concer in my mind.  But it was cool to see the answer.
