Vermiculite size
    #23731394 - 10/12/16 02:11 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys, I accidentaly ordered vermiculite which is very coarse, I'm planning on making a monotub coir/verm/w-casings - no cakes
Do you think it might be a problem?? Will the amount of water called for in recipes change depending on the size of verm?
Thanks in advance for any input..

That's fine to use mine is about the same. I use 650 grams coir, 3 quarts verm, 4.5 quarts water.

Thanks man! I might add a bit of gypsum, would adding some worm-poo help?

Thanks for advice, would that make appropriate amount of substrate for 6 quarts of spawn?

Yes it's a good ratio for 6 quarts of spawn.
Even 4 quarts would be enough but it takes more time to colonize + it provides less nutrition.
