    I'm not one to pay extra to have someone add water to vermiculite for me. Stuff like that just goes against my principals. Plus, there are plenty of things that can be used with the substrateless method. I have a GrowNBrew about an hour from me, so worse comes to worst I will go buy a gigantic bag of verm or use hydroton or rockwool.

    I've used miracle gro perilite with light diffusor as well and haven't had problems. So have other breeders I know in the area (it's easier to find).

    I found a place that has "regular" perilite in bulk and have switched to that (it's cheaper). But in a pinch I think you can use the miracle gro without issue. I've never actually heard of anyone having a problem with it in substrateless incubation.

    Best of luck!!!

    Jake....I put the pastel in there to hopefully produce some female pastels as well as some female fires. We can all use more females right...:)
    I just picked up the miracle gro perlite and setup a tub to get acclimated in the incubator. Then i'll switch the eggs once temps are stabilized. Thanks for the info. I just realized that i'll be on a cruize once the eggs hatch..eek.

    Well if you end up with too many fires and not enough female pastels hit me up!

    Jake, will do. Can you shoot me some pics of your pastels? I love my fires, they are Mike Wilbanks line and are definately different than most fires that you see. My fire female is around 1600g and growing some nice follicles. She is locking up like crazy with my male. I am praying for a super.
