I think i made a boo-boo. instead of using plain old vermiculite. i used this dirt that has vermiculite in it, but its also has nutrients and other stuff as well all mixed up. now its pretty light weight so i boiled and inoculated. what chance do i have of failure? its not miracle gro or anything. just dirt, vermiculite and nutrients.

Just let em try since you have already done it. From what I have read you want just verm at the top layer because contams can get in otherwise but its not guarentee I guess it may depend on how clean your environment outside of the jar is. Gl

no. this is all still in the jar. like needles went in today. i worked as sterile as anything. bleached the air. i mean it was all pretty damn clean. and the jars were boiled yesterday and im 99% sure they are sterile inside too. the only thing im worried about is that i used organic soy flour. and then this mixbag from kmart. with soil and vermiculite

You used soy flour insted of brown rice flour?
Instead of vermiculite you used potting soil with vermiculite in it?

Interesting... to say the least.

Let us know how it turns out!

Good luck.

So what do you have for a filter since you don't have the inch of pure vermiculite? Did you at least tape up the inocc points? If not, then that's gonna be something you should worry about.

yes i taped them. i used all proper sterile procedures. dont know about an inch of vermiculite my soil has plety of vermiculite in it. i mean a bag of regular soil compared to a bag of the crap that i used. my bag weights almost nothing. so its really airy. it just has other nutrients in it. and some fertilizer.

I am sure that something will grow back in the day when i first started to grow i used the shroom wizards travle agentcy's grow guide. and that says to just use straight potting soil. that grew shrooms.
