Vermiculite Grain Size?! - PF Tek Question * 1
    #26684063 - 05/20/20 07:01 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys, I’m excited to say that I’ve harvested three sets of spores from my grow kit and I’m almost ready to start growing them on my own. I’ve got about 90% of the things needed, but I just noticed that the vermiculite I bought seems to be very large in grain size. This is not a detail I even thought of when looking for vermiculite as I didn’t even know theres different sizes to it. I never saw any size disclaimers on any of the guides I was looking through when doing my research.
On the bag it says that the grains are from 0-15mm each which obviously puts them on the higher end. Do you think this would work for my cakes? Also I thought that vermiculite is a form of stone, but was surprised to find out its actually very soft. If the grains are too big can I crush them into finer particles?

Anyone with success in growing cakes with large grain vermiculite?
Looking forward to your answers.

Yess, I spent plenty of cash on the verm. Glad to hear that!
Can’t wait to start inoculating the cakes.

I find medium-grain to be best. If u want, u can grind up some large-grain verm in a coffee grinder then mix it back in with the large-grain verm. Works good for me.

Thanks for the reply. I’m guessing just a slight grind, enough to break down the bigger chunks but not enough to turn it into powder.
Also with larger chunks do ai maintain the 2:1:1 ratio or would the ratio change given the bigger sizes?

I’m thinking of making an experiment and make 1-2 large verm cakes and 3-4 medium (ground up a bit) just to get a feel of how they differ.

PS: Shpongle is something else maan. I discovered this amazing music last weekend on an amazing 300mcg acid trip.

Shpongle is magical :shpongle: Although some of it is a bit bizarre for me, most of it is awesome.

Same ratio. I use a 2/3 cup verm to 1/4 cup water then 1/4 cup BRF mix myself, in that order. Works well for me.

Thanks dude. I’m going to buy my mason jars and a box to turn into SAB and I’m starting the tek. Super excited!
