i prefer the red myself,especially for watermelons and canaloupe,i use nothing but ocean forest for medicine,it is loose and i dont add extra perlite if it needed it they would put it in,i do use rocks,my feed comes out and drains into tray and vacumed out,regaurdless of were the super chick with wantabe plants hanging on the wall says,done it for year and continue like i said if it works for me i sugest it to others science dont mean nothing ,just emplyment for some folks,growing fact and food on my table dont lie or judge so be it,you win i guess but we still agree to disagree im one them low todum pole folk she speek of hahah.I used river rocks in the bottom of pots for years and read something a decade or so ago and stopped. When I started with the coco I didn't even think about it.
Now that iron clay soil I got a lot and when I've mixed some in my potting soil I didn't have to fertilize as often. By itself it develops a hard crust plants have a difficult time growing well in but when amended it rocks. Plants seem to love those minerals.
roll how you want cowboy take the hard road,
only thing in this world that comes easy
hard luck
