BRF And Coffee Ground Substrate
    #25592393 - 11/04/18 07:04 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Would a Brf/Coffee Grounds mixture be a viable substrate for a modified? The lids I use are Self Healing Inoc Ports/Medical tape so contamination wouldn't really be an issue. My main concern would be moisture and acidity of the grounds.

No. Follow a TEK until you know enough to not have to ask this kind of thing.

I usually follow Pf tek but I ran out of verm. I guess I'll just go buy more no big deal when they sell it at Home Depot.

YES buy more as coffee grounds is NOT a substitute for vermiculite, it is only possible as an additive.

I guessed that much, I just hoped it would work since adding a little coffee to my vermiculite speeds up colonization by a couple days.

It doesn't speed anything up. You're seeing genetic variance. Coffee is way more trouble than it's worth.

It is better used in a compost pile.

Also not home depot. They sttopped selling it at least in my area. I go to Lowe's they always have what I need. But you can get it just about at any hardware store.
