thanks for the quick response. I kinda figured 50/50 wouldn't have enough nutrition.
dose it work better than just coir without the verm.

You could do any ratio you want. 100% verm, 100% coir, whatever. The reason people use 80/20 coir/verm is because Damion5050 figured out just how much water it takes to hydrate that exact amount of substrate.
Verm won't make it fluffier, coir is plenty fluffy as it is. Verm is there to hold more water and provide a few minerals.
Using a higher ratio of coir seems to give better later flushes though. I imagine it's because it has a better balance of nutrients than verm.

Gypsum doesn't count in your final ratios. You do 72.5% coir and 27.5% verm with gypsum added. Saying it like that reduces confusion.

Because it doesn't have enough mass to matter. We measure our bulks based on how thick we want our sub. Gypsum doesn't really add to that, so we don't count it.

Even 50/50 verm-coir will outperform either one separately. Remember, brf cakes are 66% verm. RR
