i hate perlite, ...
Always end up with gnats useing coco but get a higher yield , a top layer of Fullers earth could stop this and will try it.
Would be wary of mixing it in as its structure acts much like a carbon filter absorbing chems and retaining them hence its use in catlitter and for removeing dyes from solution , could lead to nute issues.
How do you use it Hazy ?
sand and charcoal for me.
coco
rice hulls
I heard DE absorbs water ?? also watch out as silica dust in the lungs ( DE ) is not beneficial
jaykush, what form of charcoal do you use?
