Out of curiosity have you tried the different grades/sizes of vermiculite?  I'm about to test a batch with the fine-grain sizes in a few weeks and curious how it'll compare to the others (does it change mycelium habitat, water retention, etc?)

If all you have is big stuff, what’s the best way to reduce its size? I’m thinking a rubber mallet :lol:

FWIW I got the latest fine-grade on amazon, it seems just fine.  I need to find a local store next time though.

Which brings me to my next question: should I get gypsum from amazon too?  And are there any preferences as to which kind?

it's crap for a dry verm layer. I lost a batch to that. I'm trying again with finer grade verm. here's to hoping it works much better

I used the thick chunky stuff on my first b+ grow and got these. Used it as a casing too at around 3/8in and got 2 flushes with no dunking. 1:8 ratio at the time. I just found that I didn't need it so I just stopped using it and went to 100% coco.

I had 2 9x13 trays here
