Perlite Vs. Vermiculite
    #5661679 - 05/22/06 08:29 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Hi Everybody... my first post...
So what's the advantage of using Perlite over Vermiculite to maintain the right humidity inside the Fruiting Chamber?
I had to buy a HUGE bag of Vermiculite and it would be great if I could use it for something else besides just substrate mix in the PF Tek.
cheers,
FriviD

Welcome bro.

Perlite wickers, verm does not. Both are cheap.

Use perlite in your FC.

you'll just be asking for problems if you use verm to humidify. Start doing casings after a few batches of cakes and you'll use it up.  :thumbup:

you will use all of that vermiculite.
the more you do, the more you realize how much you need.

at least now you don't need any more for a little bit.
