I know they say you shouldn't...but.

After a few failed attempts due to a bad LC, and a last minute contamination, I've decided to go follow the "From syringe to print" tutorial, to the letter. (well, using an LC rather than spores.) and I'm about 2 days away from casing my babies. The tek says to use a 50% verm 50% coir mix. Now, casing should be non nutritious, which Coir obviously is not. Yet, this method is pretty tried and true.

So the question is, any real critical reason why I shouldn't do coir and verm and instead go for something else, or just keep trucking along following the tek?

I cant explain why, but i know that tek works well.

It will work better with 60/40, verm-coir. 50/50 with coir tends to overlay.

In one word: Overlay.

Using coir will increase the chance of overlay if you don't treat the casing perfectly.


EDIT: RR you beat me to it.

im using coir/verm right now (late cased 40/60) and my pins are really shooting up fast. i wish i had my camera but its at Nikon because of a flash problem. If you can't get peat use coir.
