i went to the store to pick up the rest of my items for my growing. i failed to find verm, canning jars. i tried to ask the ppl in wal mart and sutherlands, the guy at sutherlands sent me to the lighting isle for verm?!?! noone at wal mart knew what it was. and an older guy told me "canning jars are way past our time". rather than canning jars i was gonna buy some 16 oz glasses but ended up putting them back cuz i didnt know if u had to get a certain size glass r not.
neways, does vermiculite say VERMICULITE on it or do u have to look for a diff. name. can u use just about ne somewhat small glass as long as u take proper care to keep water out while sterilizing.
it also kinda sux cuz i lack a ride for now and had a friend take me so i felt pretty dumb still not able to find the

Lowe's should have vermiculite. And yes it will say vermiculite. I've yet to see a walmart with verm. Check other large retailers for the widemouth jars.

Vermiclulite is called that says it right on the bag, as far as i can tell any glass works as long as it has a bigger mouth then base the bigger the glass the bigger the cake, but i use jars so i am not quite sure how people do that

Jars can be had at most any grocery store. Verm can be obtained at a nursery and lowes usually has it.

order it online if you're having so much trouble.
But you probably live with people who wouldn't want you growing in their house in the first place, right?

i have more luck finding jars at small, old hardware stores (Ace Hardware?). large chain stores generally only have canning jars during the canning season. older mom and pop hardware stores have dusty old cases of jars lying around in the back.

no worries. if there's one thing you learn about this hobby, it's that patience is the key to success.
