My bad!
I use 1/3 perlite NOT 50% as I originally stated. I reuse (I use a lot) some of my PRO-Mix from previous grows after letting it 'cook' (I use a lot of medium) . So I add 1/3 'used' pro-mix, 1/3 new pro-mix, and you guessed it 1/3 perlite. Sorry for the confusion guys. Carry on!
Yea, I was blown away the first time I bought a bag of #4 size perlite at how inexpensive it is. I use the largest size (forget right now what size #) for my outdoor TLO mix, and it is a little more than twice as much.
Good plan on the YDB, Greenster! Mine got around 3' outdoors last year. I will have to see if I took a picture of her. If I find one, I will post it later in this thread. Need to ready to go to town again, as my wife has an appointment with her Oncologist late this morning. I will pick you guys up some perlite. LOL.
Peace.
Years ago I experimented with growing and cloning in straight perlite and vermiculite, and in mixes of the two. All worked well.
Please do post the pic of the ybd if you have one. Good luck at the Doc's, if you can get me a bail of promix
