Pasty's CVG Ratios, Substrate Water Content and Contams...
    #23621982 - 09/07/16 01:14 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

The other day I noticed PastyWhyte is using a higher ratio of vermiculite to coir in his mix than many members. Is this about achieving substrate volume or does it have some other purpose?

As for substrate water content, I've noticed quite a bit of variance here between teks too. Is it safer for contams (or other reasons for that matter) to be on the dry side?

Is this something that seems to be strain dependent at all? I have read claims that PE is a "thirsty" variety but I haven't given it a go yet.

I follow FrankHorrigan's tek to the letter except for 10% less moisture. In my 50% humidity environment, this seems to be enough for 2+ flushes in a monotub for the recent varieties I've grown even with zero misting or other subsequent hydration. But, I'm more interested in trying to hit one flush wonders and eliminating problems.

i can't answer for pasty but field capacity should always be the goal for bulk
