Holes are in the lids with nothing obstructing them. Alot of my dry verm has fallen down the sides of the jars (pissing me off). Jars were made pretty loose but may have packed down a little. Im really just sick of waiting. I mean I know you have to have patience with this hobby, but one month and the jars still aren't colonized is a bit frustrating.  :banghead:

I would start over with some fresh BRF and a 2:1:1 ratio. If the dry verm is falling down the sides, the substrate has shrunken and likely doesn't have enough moisture to finish. Watch the RogerRabbit video on YouTube showing the BRF/Verm jars. It gives you detailed step-by-step directions.

Seen it. I have 2:1 ratio jars and theyre goin at about the same speed. maybe the BRF isnt as fresh as it could be. So lets say they dont colonize fully, I just bought a bale of coir and have enough to play around with. should i just spawn the uncolonized jars to the coir and see what happens? Or is that a bad idea?

Like sand? What kind of sand? powdery like? I should be fine but not powdery.

Take ten or twelve differently sized pieces and measure them and tell us.

Bad idea. Only spawn fully colonized brf or grains to bulk.

The pic is bad quality but if I can see the grains of verm even in that photo I doubt it is too fine.

Your water content is probably off.

How long does colonization take for you? what are your ratios?
