perlite is perlite....its fairly inert and has all the qualities of other soilless ingrediants
so i'm sure its fine
Just check the bag. It should tell you if they added something to it, although I'm with FireTheft on this one, it is pretty much inert and really wouldn't be able to have things added to it. I could be very wrong however, as I've seen the MG perlite at wally world but passed it up because of the name. I am picking up more perlite today, and I'll check out the MG stuff at Wal-mart and report back if I find different.
It's straight. I still just flush the shit out of it before mixing it in.
Ok, thanks man.Quote:

Don't use it! You want to control the nutrients, not let mg do it for you.
PC :smokin:
Wait, so what if I wash the perlite would it be good?
I would not use it. You have no way of knowing for sure how to control the nutrients. Maybe you washed them out, maybe you didn't. Ya know?
And NO nutes during the first two or three weeks.
I rather doubt those amounts of NPK would make any difference.Quote:
