Have you noticed an increase in contam from using additives in the coir? And does it have a noticeable affect on yield or something? First time grower Im starting very soon just doing lots of research first

CVG (coco coir, vermiculite, gypsum) is a pretty standard mix and won’t make contam happen. Philly golden teacher on YouTube has some great videos for beginners

Philly has GREAT videos on EVERY STEP of the process! They are how I learned and my first go around is doing well. This rice stuff really lowers the bar for entry, I have a PC and jars but when I did that the rice never inoculated IDK what I did wrong.
