Perlite will give better drainage to the soil and allow more oxygen to the roots.
You can grow without it but its better with.

Stores like B&Q sell it, shouldn't be too hard to find any garden centre should have it.
Put it this way it's a little bit of effort which will pay off with more buds and less problems.
It's good for seedling growth as it's much easier for the roots to push through. So source some read for next time.

Pearlite helps with soil drainage it is recommended but not always needed.
Soil that drains well = big root balls = big plants = big buds
My recommendation is find some before you transplant, if you have not transplanted it into its final pot.
Will the plant live without it? Yes, but it wont be as good as it could have been.

No its not too late, you can take it out and put it back in its original pot overnight and repot tomorrow with perlite and it will be fine.
