Maybe, but it seems to be in there pretty good. Took a couple months to get down to normal runoff ppm. I have the same problem, hard to find pure perlite but the "enriched" Miracle Grow stuff is widely available. I never tried soaking it though. Figured I might as well use the extra nutes. It comes out at about 2000 ppm though, which is on the high side.

Good info thanks, yeah it's probably not easy to flush it from perlite. Not a big deal but I'd rather have pure. I just found a big bag no ferts, way too much but hey I'll be set. thanks..

why don't you buy a 30lb bag of perlite? it has no nutes, and is about the size of a grown man.
why fuck with shit from lowes when you have amazon?

I thought I saw another brand of Perlite in Lowes once. Shultz? Better brand than Miracle Grow. Check your local gardening stores. Those old ladies there probably know more that some 20 year old stone millennial at the grow store.

never use chemical laced perlite.
the good shit is cheap and easy to get, but you might need to wait a WHOLE THREE DAYS to have it delivered. sucks, right?

Look at local masonry suppliers. Perlite is used as loose fill for wall insulation.

Also used for flooring insulation for condos when installing ceramic tile.

i'd go with pink panther. it's cheaper, and has a guarantee. perlite doesn't.
