Foxfarm ocean forrest with no perlite?

I can't find any locally except for small miracle grow packages at home depot, but the granules feel really small

my question;

can I run foxfarm ocean forrest soil without perlite?

Im planning on growing in 5 gal buckets

yes.....

1) foxfarm OF comes with 5% perlite mixed in.

2) you dont need to add perlite....it just helps.

I use the mg perlite...it works great...1 bag of mg perlite with one bag of ffof

Yes use the home depot or Lowes Perlite. That's what most people buy anyway. Works perfectly with ff OF soil.
