Nice move RIU removing my last post from here denying me defense. Now how about removing all the insolent posts by others? Or are you also perlite obsessed?

Agree with Dwezelitsame. There's no telling what you'll end up with. I have just stressed the hell out of my hermi bagseed plant and there's no sign of herming 6 weeks into flower. It's been through nute burn, nute deficiency, heat stress and re-potting. Looking weird, but still a flowering...

lol, people, you're laughable. You've obviously never mixed soil before. Throw in some more ad hominems to protect your egos. Listen to yourselves justifying the use of perlite by talking about shitty soils. It sound like you'd rather grow in clay than let go of obsolete grow techniques...

Organic compost with 75% peat and added own fiberous compost consisting of mostly general fruit/vegetable food waste and quite a few tomato plants. There's also a minute amount of PERLITE in it that came mixed in with the compost. I'd prefer perlite free, but it's there so what. I removed what I...

yeah whatever man

I stand corrected!

Yeah, keep patting yourself on the shoulder. Calling me a noob and welcoming me when you've joined less than 2 months before me, lol I don't sit on my ass in front of a PC pretending I'm a pro weed grower making ignorant remarks, like you do, but cannabis is a plant and I know quite a bit about...

OK. To you and to RINKSTEIN I hereby officially apologize for having a sense of humor and for not being a stiff. I also solemnly swear to only post to RIU with a long hard stick up my behind to remind me of the seriousness of what's posted here. Thank you, fine gentlemen, for putting me right.

Firstly, you would have to be under some kind of investigation already for the cops to be able to even request your personal usage data and secondly, they surely have better things to do than prey on DIY growers with all the serious drug trafficking and money laundering going on all the time...

Not sure what you mean by plenty, but keep in mind the rate at which the water is absorbed depends on surrounding conditions like heat and air movement, as well as on the size of the pot, the plant and its root system. So using 'plenty' of water on a small or underdeveloped root system may...

lol, no I only agreed to not going full retard. You've projected the rest yourself ;)

Are you advocating for the use of dense soils to justify the use of perlite? lol I do not question perlite's physical properties, I do, however, question it's benefits as an additive to soil for growing weed. If you've chosen soil as your grow medium, you should go for the best possible...

Perlite won't prevent overwatering nor will it help you with CO2. On the other hand a smart and steady waterring schedule with good drainage WILL prevent overwaterring, and talking to your plants for 45 minutes every day WILL help you with CO2 more than perlite, even though it doesn't sound as...

As far as I know, using Perlite is a total waste of whatever you've put into using it. Nothing beats using high quality grow medium. Perlite won't help improve low quality soil and it also creates dry spots. It soaks in moisture from soil and contains it within the granules. You can best...

Looks like a ball on a stick to me. I'd say it's a hermie.
