Is there such a thing as poor quality vermiculite?
    #26880318 - 08/14/20 03:19 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I bought a 4 cubic feet bag of Fine Vermiculite and it is nowhere near as fine as the one I previously bought in the store. Biggest problem of all is that its water absorption is terrible. So much so that for the PF tek I have to use 3:1:1 instead of 2:1:1 so that the verm absorbs all the water before mixing in the BRF. What gives? Anybody else encounter this? All I ever read about was vermiculite grade (coarse, fine, etc.) but never quality. The one I bought seems pretty shitty quality. Even the CVG substrate recipe doesn't work out. I have to put in 150% more verm for field capacity.

Is it a giant white bag with a green stripe across it?

The bag is indeed white with green inscriptions.
