I cannot afford it....I mean I probably could but everytime I go to the grow store and see the price I say fuck it. I like sand in my mix and rice hull is cheap enough. Did I mention I am really cheap?ps perlite is organic and what's the reason for advocating against using it?
Are you making your own? Rice hulls look more costly then perliteI cannot afford it....I mean I probably could but everytime I go to the grow store and see the price I say fuck it. I like sand in my mix and rice hull is cheap enough. Did I mention I am really cheap?
@Shaded_One It looks like rice hulls have to break down and they are mainly silica.. so maybe they like it as a source of silica? Perlite's cheap tho $30 worth of perlite at home depot is like the size of a 60lb bag of promix
It also lasts a few grows. Last I bought some was over a yr ago so I've had 4 maybe 5 runs of 6-8 plants per run since I bought it.@Shaded_One It looks like rice hulls have to break down and they are mainly silica.. so maybe they like it as a source of silica?

i'm on the side of perlite! lolIt also lasts a few grows. Last I bought some was over a yr ago so I've had 4 maybe 5 runs of 6-8 plants per run since I bought it.
At $30 a bag.
4 runs - $7.50 per grow cycle for all plants in those runs combined
5 runs - $5.00
It's benefit far outweigh its costs imo.
Yeah thats pretty cheap..i gotta start cutting down on coco/perlite waste and start reusing it..i should make a big square box to throww it in after use then reuse after roots have decomposed..just gotta keep the bugs out somehow..It also lasts a few grows.

A few things to unpack here, I didn't "peace out" I am just really busy starting/investing/building a 4000sqft facility and check in when I have some free time. I'm just getting back to using THC Farmer and sharing, so relax mate.ps perlite is organic and what's the reason for advocating against using it?
meh, you're extremely confrontational and I got no time for that, have a nice day.
My issue is not with rice hulls, it's with your war against perlite for some reason. You use phrases like "I wouldn't use perlite..." and "rice hulls + pumice is just flat out better" without zero proof, facts, or data to back anything up.
