Hey IC, I've been growing in coco for a couple of years now, watering several times per day with run-off DTW I'm going to do things differently next round, I want to grow in pots of perlite. Becasue I'm growing SOG, 25 plants per 1K, I need very little veg time and I'm having a hard time filling my pots with roots because of such a short veg. I'm thinking that perlite will allow me to grow some fast roots because of the high aeration of the medium, I have a buddy with the same setup and he's killing it although I haven't talked to him in a while.
I have searched the forums and done a good bit of reading but there isn't a lot of information out there. I've always grown drain to waste but this time I'm going to recirculate. I'm looking to hear from any of you guys that have grown with pots of perlite, how many times do you like to water per day, what is the best PH range, do you root in perlite or RW, any general information that I can soak up
I look forward to hearing from you perlite pros
Stay Classy!
