Pf-Tek substrate , possibly too much water, BAD?

#902070 - 09/23/02 03:58 PM (23 years, 9 months ago)

I put in a little TOO much water when mixing with verm, it looked SOMEWHAT soupy in half the bowl. After adding the BRF, it looked fine. It mixed well, not too much difference.

However I noticed when I putit in the jars, the texture was different than the first time I did the PF-Tek (this is my second time)

Should it be okay?-

Hard to say. You stated that after you added the BRF it looked fine. If it's not wet and mushy looking, you should be ok.

Next time better follow the advice, namely only put in as much water as vermiculite can absorb.
