Add or not to add perlite to potting mix.

[flonmofo]

The most important thing with any medium is the air ( oxygen to be exact ) around the roots imo flonmofo. Lots of growers use different soils and mediums round the world and get good results if they remember this one thing. It can be a fine line between perfect and too dry from my exp. but once you get it right, you wont grow better plants. Wet roots will fuck a crop even if everything else is spot on.

well hopefully i find that happy medium.

 

i have found out first hand what bad soil and wet roots can do for a plant

 

thanks for your advice mate.

Canna now have soil specific products: http://www.canna-au.com/dhtml/products_terra.php?lang=enx

 

I'd be looking into that if I was doing an outdoor grow.

 

A relatively new product tho haven't seen a grow diary of anyone who's used it.
