FDD said straight perlite. Why not both, since they offer different qualities. I use soil mixed with both & a lot of other shit. My chose, straight perlite. Don't let it dry out.

thanks for all the suggestions, everyone I will make one thing for certain: not to mix soil in with the perlite or vermiculite while I am rooting my clones.

perlite-In horticulture it makes composts more open to air, while still having good water-retention properties; it makes a good medium for hydroponics

Vermiculite-
Blocking mixes
Hydroponics
Micro-propagation
Potting mixes
Rooting cuttings
Seed germination
Seedling wedgemix
Sowing composts
Twin scaling bulb

I also believe it contains micro nutes to help.

I use a mix of 1/3 each - neutral soil, perlite & vermiculite. I use the same mix for the whole process. It has worked well for me.
