PF Tek Water - confusion on how much
    #26411196 - 01/01/20 04:24 PM (4 years, 28 days ago)

Hello,

following the PF Tek guide, I'm a little confused on how much water to use. in previous grows, I've used a ratio of 2/1/1 dry verm/BRF/water which seems to work, but the cakes come out really dry and shrink in the jars. another look at the guides suggest that the verm should be at Field capacity, and I'm not sure if that means in addition to the water. in my most recent preparation, I used 2/1/1.5 ratio, and the jars came out looking a bit muddy. is this an issue? what amount of water should I use?

attached is a picture of a jar from the aforementioned most recent preparation

Dunk them itll help with being dry. Its normal for them to shrink. Just make sure its 100% colonized

The field capacity idea for PF tek is old info. Its pretty much standard to use the 1:2:1 ratio these days. The colonization phase doesn't require a whole lot of water.
