Baked vermiculite turned grey
    #26918777 - 09/05/20 07:33 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Baked vermiculite before casing in the pf-tek. I've done the pf-tek a few times, so this time I was surprised this time when the vermiculite turned a weird grey colour and smelled kind of metallic??? after baking at 350F for 30min. I've done a search on the forum and I see that a lot of folks just don't bake their vermiculite and haven't had problems, but I've also seen RR's recommendation to bake it. Interested to hear if anyone has insights.

No need to bake it.  Baking it- and the resultant color change- won't hurt anything,  however.  The vast majority of cultivators (including all the TCs here,  to my knowledge) use it straight out of the bag.  It's a mineral, and thus doesn't harbor bacteria and mold.
