Perlite turning yellow!? HELP!

[aonymity]

your fine just some alge growin mine are in a closet and they still go green nothin to worry bout

[chewbacker]

its just a few metals and chlorine in the water as some distiled water isnt that clean some poeple think boiling water thats cooled down is the same its not distiled is evaporated or if it was bottled water then read whats in it as you will be amazed at how much difert metal minrals and such are in them i distill my own water from rain water it works well and no yellow perlite

....it could be minerals, I'm not even going to try to deny that, however, it's almost like the perlite is burnt. As in I went to the beach and I got burnt....lol. All I know is so far it hasn't affected my plants...or anyone else around, or they would have spoke up.

Rusty water anyone? happens to me every grow, post a pic to settle the matter.

[Bree1978]

No, I used distilled water. It has to be minerals in the soil or dust from soil baking into it.

crappy pic included to show discolouration

Mine has been turning yellow for over a month, damn good smoke to from the buds I've taken off of the near 60 days its been in flowering.

^ IA. H2O2 is for algae. I've considered reasonings to this predicament recently because I got it too. I'm guessing it is soil dust/debris that has 'baked' onto the pearlite after watering.

I agree, mine's turned a bit yellow too..is definitely just stuff from soil...it's happened on previous times too for me.
