Perlite vs Vermiculite
    #22266163 - 09/20/15 05:51 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hi, I accidentally bought perlite instead of vermiculite for my shroom germination jars. Can I make that work? I don't wanna have to make another trip but am able to.  Thanks in advance.
Does perlite work as well?

No, they serve 2 completely different purposes, and are not interchangeable.

But u still need both for cakes, u just use perlite for fruiting....

No, perlite is only for providing the proper environment within fruiting chambers. Perlite should never be used as a substitute for vermiculite in a substrate. :thumbup:
