Hello all  This being my first post id like to say hello to the community and thanks for having me I'm preparing for my first grow, and have pretty much everything I need now except vermiculite.. I cant find it anywhere I've checked wa;marts, canadian tire, and various gardening locations around town and some places even told me its a scheduled substance now? :\ That would be my worst nightmare at this time. Does anyone know where I might possibly find some? I had total intentions of pressure cooking my substrate tonight for innoc in the morning. Thanks for all the help in advance

They don't have any at garden stores in your area? That is strange.

When I first started growing it was impossible to find coir. First 5kg I ordered i did 15 tubs before I realized it was infected w trich I live in a big city id goto the police stables to gt manure. I had to order my pc to a us addy then have it reshipped. It was a seripus pita to gt a flowhood filter too.
Im glad u found it. The poster who sd home hardware is right tho ive found it there all the time

I've been getting my vermiculite in pets stores for years.

Although I am not in Canada, but not in the United States.
A google search of "vermiculite for reptiles in Canada" did lead me to the following answers though;
Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, and Sheridan Nursery.
Good luck OP!
