is this vermiculite suitable for monos?
    #23931804 - 12/16/16 09:24 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

It's labeled as for swimming pools. But is vermiculite vermiculite vermiculite?  If so I guess I'd have to still contact the seller to see if it's fine or coarse.

Same not sure but if youre going to order just order the horticulture coarse grade or go to home depot or lowes to get it, its about 5 a bag and have larger bags. Use what is known to work unless trying to experiment on things.

How fine should your verm be anyway? I have some last leftovers off a big and it's just dust pretty much. When I made PF cakes with it they turned out a little weird. :justdontknow:

i like finer verm. and for cakes i like a chunkier rice mixture. i want the
verm to coat the chunks of flour.

big chunky verm is less useful. some people say it makes the substrate fluffier.

i say do grains if you want to improve on basic pf.(if you have a pc)

I'm already doing grains, but I like to do PF tek on the side. I went through my first bag of verm and have some dust left, think I'll just throw that away.

Hmmm tough question.

Industrial verm (i.e. verm used as insulation in houses, in pools, or any
other use besides horticulture) is sometimes treated with toxic chemicals
and/or not as refined as horticultural grade verm, it seems.

I don't know for sure if that stuff is treated in any way, but I wouldn't
trust it :shrug:

Yea. That's why I was curious. The small bags they sell at home depot and shit are like only enough for like 2 tubs or so. And some reason where I live it's not that easy to find. There is a greenhouse supply store near me that sells 6 cubic feet of verm medium coarseness for 37 bux. Not horrible deal considering it would last for a lot of tubs. But for 4 cubic feet for 25 bux definitely better. But just gotta find out the grade.

I would do more research on that shit man. Verm is the reason 40 or so
million homes in America are contaminated with asbestos and horticultural
verm is held to a higher standard than industrial. At least that's what
I've been reading.

Grade shouldn't matter either man. Especially if you're throwing it in CVG.
I would just go fo it. Unless what Natedawgnow says to be true that vermiculite would be treated with chemicals for some reason.
Not sure why they would treat it with chemicals.. maybe to keep the dust down? If that's true then I wouldn't wanna find out the hard way :shrug:

Verm used to be made with asbestos back in the day but you would be very hard pressed to find any being sold in this day and age. Unless you lived in a third world country.

Although that thing you mentioned about chemicals is staring to make more sense now. Asbestos was used for its fire retardant qualities. Now that there is no asbestos the verm may be treated with a fire retardant chemical??

They treat industrial verm differently than horticultural. Sometimes
it's sprayed with chemicals that keep down critter infestations, or molds
since it will be in walls (even though verm is damn near mold proof),
and other shit. It's not guaranteed, but it's not not guaranteed like
horticultural verm is.

Verm wasn't necessarily made with asbestos, just mined in the same place
that asbestos deposits existed, so the mines were contaminated for like
60 or so years before they finally found out. Some of that verm could
still be in circulation especially if not from a reputable source :shrug:

True. Now I'm paranoid about breathing verm dust
Thanks Natedawgnow! The 4 cubic ft dream is dead :sad:
