How much perlite do you add to the base potting mix?

I think out of all the Mephisto gear the WW has to be my favorite and will be the first I grow when I order

In those 3 gallon equivalent air pots I put about a liter of perlite and mix it in.
I dont know about your experience, but last plants I grew I didnt add enough perlite and when I would flush them, they would stay soggy for a week or so afterward. Ive read some people use up to 50% perlite but next round I think Im going to use 33% to see if that helps them dry out a little faster. This wasnt in airpots tho, so that could make a difference....

I just started using it in another grow when I switched soils. I figure it's around 10-15 percent. I can't say anything yay or nay yet, and I'm using it in 3 plants right now.

Walter White day 39. Now 25 inches. The previous Walter I grew was a couple inches taller than this one at this point. But, when you look over at Grey Bears Walter this one is pretty boring. May she'll get another couple inches in height. Tall and lanky too, but I expect her to fill out nicely. This one does the same droopy thing as my first one. A couple hours before lights out it gets droopy, then perks up after they come back on.

Walter White Day 46. She's 27 inches tall, buds are stacking up very nice. She is on bloom nutes now, and has been since 6-9. She's already very sticky and some pine smell coming through. Here's some pictures. Thanks for looking in.

Yeah me too. i was worried this one was behind the last one, but it's actually within a half inch of it. Can't complain, getting stinky and frosty.Nice! I like how the 2015s are averaging out to be medium/large in structure.

Here's my day 54 update. I'm a little disappointed with my current grow. I feel I'm way behind with this one and my Fantasmo. I had a thrip problem I had to treat with a couple foliar sprays and a soil drench. Maybe its me, I don't know. She's got a ways to go, so we'll see. That being said, she has a nice lemony pine smell and is very sticky. Frosty all over the place, even on the underside of the leaves. She's not going to be anywhere near the size of the first one I grew. I don't know if it's because I'm only using LEDS right now and not the HPS or what. Or if I'm just picking over nothing.
