And... while my lucky wookie and black triangle single are looking fantastic... I'm having a bad day. One my triangle looks like a Male and the worst news is my pumice order for my mix was cancelled and now I need to use perlite!!! God damn Im Pissed but I need to get it cooking so I gotta do what I gotta do I guess.

Only thing I have against perlite is I dont like useing it for no till and only have used pumice and lava rock,but being out east I need to order it. Thought I found a good deal but it was cancelled and build a soil it cost 10 times more in shipping than the pumice. Perlite will work ok I think with a cover crop and mulch layer to hold it in place a bit but I was worried bout it breaking down over 5+ runs in The same bed. I have to use it now cause I cant afford shipping. Can anyone tell me how fast it may break down in my mix? I want to run this soil mix for the future so want to know what to expect. Will this hinder my performance over time. I have used perlite but never in no till... Am I f#####? I want someone to tell me everything will be ok lol
Happy growing!

You should be fine with perlite. Not sure exactly how many years before it breaks down but the perlite in my garden has been doing the job for 2+ years. You can always amend later with pumice.

Also, have you tried other small rocks instead of pumice? There is a gravel shop that had some cheap rocks and also the local feed store carries fragmented oyster shells that would serve the same job as pumice and also add calcium.

Reason I prefer pumice and lava rock ( other than being TOLD to use it like 15 years ago), its pores all over are a great place for microbial colony to hide out etc. Perlite may have some of the same quality to it. I dont like how it moves around over time etc. Looks like I will be putting down a bunch of live cover crop so the roots may help it stay put... and then kill it down with gro kashi and Malibu compost or home made castings so it will eventually be outa sight out of mind... I'll get over this eventually lol... I'm just stuck in my ways!

I have another worm bin and another 4000 reds in the mail and that's making me very happy! Even considering selling castings if I can build up enough. Since i started with neem/karanja cake, malted barley etc. In my bin the reproduction rate is crazy! Just a tip for those who may have a bin. Best quality you will ever use far as castings go. Only thing i wish i had was black leaf mould to add... cant have it all I guess... but great quality casting are a must IMO for no till and a complete game changer. When I have enough to use I'll show and tell a bit but have only a lb or 2 at the moment and waiting on my grass roots 4x4 bed! Wish me luck!

To keep it related... side branch of mango hashplant taken about 9.5 weeks.15570693097814583422308191956514.jpg
Not the best in my small garden by a far cry but it's very good none the less and smells of light skunk and lots of mango and fruit. And as you can see VERY HAIRY! This was in my veg tent I flowered out my overflow in under a 315 cmh. Under my fluence it would have done much better.

Smells like real deep peanut butter. Not the peanut kind of spice earth phenos I come across in the 88g13hp crosses or various other genetics, but this is really like a thick creamy peanut butter.

Supposedly you can use rice hulls for aeration and worms love them. Not sure how long they last or their pH effect?

I always use perlite in my no till for the sake of availability, cheapness, and lightness. I have no-till pots with aerated with perlite that have been going strong for 3.5 years with no sign of problems. Just make sure it's evenly blended in the mix.

Got 6 Soulmate to be up potted 1st time today. Looking forward as I am a fan of Wookie. Any intersex on Soulmate? Anyone? They’re riding with 3 Peak Seeds BC Northern Lights. Vigorous and all is well. 17 days since planting seeds with tails.

In my limited experience, she ran rock-solid... and there was a light leak event when she was flowering that caused some others to throw male flowers.
