Would the frequency of watering need to be increased with a higher percentage of perlite in the soil? Lets say 25-50 % outdoor.

The perlite mix will be used with a couple plants like this from bag seed of a purple strain.

I think so,perlite give the roots more breathing room,also keeps it from compacting.You should also add garden lime to the mix.
