Can vermiculite hold contams?
    #8908341 - 09/10/08 05:56 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

hey fellow growers
just wondering if vermiculite goes bad? i had a bag about half full from this oast spring and i used it this past week and when i opened the next bag of identical verm i bought at the same time i noticed it was a little different in coulour. the reason i ask is cause i just had to chuck 16 jars that had contams and the only other problem may be the syringes i used. they were from a reputable vendor but again, i didnt make them and the only contam problems ive ever encountered have come from bought syringes and not my own. im trying to expand the number of varieties in my print collection so i can propogate at will but am getting frustrated at having only 2 of 5 new syringes actually not be contaminated! anyway, im hoping it was the verm and not the spores cause i still have two syringes to try--malabar and b+

It wasn't the verm since you sterilized it when you sterilized the rest of the contents of the jars.

Verm doesn't go bad-it's a mineral.  It will however, harbor contaminant spores if the bag has been open for awhile, so if using it for the roll, you should bake it on a cookie sheet for half an hour or so to kill any spores.
