Hey guys
If anyone around ATM using coco/perlite % ? Are you using course, medium or fine coco/perlite.
I read somewhere that the perlite is also in diff sizes.
Wishing to run some photos inside soiless..

Fine perlite is at Bunnings in a 5l bag for around $12.
Coarse perlite from hydro shops in 100l bags for around $40.
I use the coarse stuff

Hey mate

I personally use a 10% worm castings, 50% organic soil, 25% coarse perlite & 15% coco mixture. With a top layer of perlite a half inch thick to keep soil pests such as root aphids & fungus gnats away.

I’ve found the key to keeping pests at bay is having high airflow, moderate humidity & a good exhaust fan so you don’t have stagnant air.

Hope this helps.
