Course vermiculite

I'm going to make some substrate for a mono and ended up with course vermiculite. I have only used fine for previous projects. Any cons to using verm with bigger chunks? I'm using it with grain.

I've seen people suggest to pulse it in a blender or just rub between your palms, but I think it'll be fine either way in a big mono. Still new myself tho, so wait for confirmation.

Thanks fam!

If I’m not mistaken with coarse verm there is less surface area for healthy myc to grow onto. I’ve never tried with coarse verm but I’m almost certain it will cause a problem.

Mentioned grain just in case people wanted more detail. Using rye berry spawn and going to use verm/coco coir as the substrate for the mono.

Larger vermiculite leaves you with more air in your substrate. Fine vermiculite leaves you with slightly less. You should be fine and it shouldn’t really much make much of a difference
