Perlite is not needed as it’s only purpose is drainage and lowers cation exchange capacity. Quality coco has an excellent water to oxygen ratio and doesn’t need filler. I wouldn’t use more than 10% in a bottom feeding system.

@jmystro agree, I will add some if I’m reusing coco, I’ll also add fresh coco to the reused coco. Don’t know if any of that helps, but it’s been working well.

@no-nanners Coco can be reused several times depending on how heavy of biologicals you have consuming it like Trichoderma fungi. I usually cut it after a few runs and don’t toss it in the yard until about 2 years of use. When coco breaks down it releases a bit of potassium and that’s why you may notice coco specific nutrients have a little lower ratio of potassium.

I’m assuming you can’t post links unless you’re a producer or something because whenever I got the links it goes no no, Search this for your answer I guess.
