The perlite is fine, the only 2 types i have ever heard about, the difference was in the size.

As for the verm, if you can get medium fine (if not medium will do) each grade of verm affects the moisture content quite drastically. Definatly do not want the coarse verm.

Look at the strain thread, and read about each one.

But to be honest they are all pretty much the same, grow under the same conditions. The odd 1 or 2 might be a little bit more difficult. But the majority of them are all fine.

So far i have grown EQ, lipa yai and koh samia under the exact same conditions.

EDIT: Must learn to post faster... :rolleyes:

Heya;

Most of this info is around, keep looking. The old timers are probably tired of answering these questions, but I haven't posted much, so I'll take this opportunity to up my post count... :wink:

The perilite sounds good; should be white, light and pieces should be 1/16" to 1/4" sized.

Finer verm seems to be the verm of choice. The stuff I've seen is like beach sand on steroids.

B+ is commonly thought of as the fastest, easiest cube.

Well, it says medium, but I can't really make out how big the pieces are from that picture. If you're ordering online, try this place;

Otherwise, thier picture should give you a good idea what suitable verm looks like.
