 | I just noticed the perlite says it's enriched with MG. Looks like I get to stand inline forever @ wal-mart to return them... No more shopping stoned. | ||

| yeah dont worry about the perlite...its just some spray on b.s. you can wash it off or not even worry about it. mg nutrients are little yellowish spheres in the soil. like tiny gelcaps. if you squeeze them they will pop and liquid ferts will squirt out. | ||

 I just looked at my MG perlite bag.... You're right..it has ferts! it didn't used to have ferts in it!!!! it's not time released pellets though and it's a powder or a coating .04-.01-.06 I put 2 inches of this MG perlite in the bottom of my hempy.. and old used perlite/vermiclite mix around the rockwool cube. and you know what.....it's just fine

| haha I had the hardest time finding a local shop that sold five pound bags of perlite that werent mg. I had a bag of it in my hands in the checkout line...then I saw the mg nute tagline....thought "oh shit!", and put it down. I used washed pea gravel for awhile...but really heavy I dont think luggin a 50 lb bag of perlite into my apt would be too good either....bonsai shops rock
