No, I wouldn't recommend it. Perlite is good at providing aeration but holds little moisture. Unless you plan on watering many times a day, stick with the hydroton. Or check out coco, I was using coco in my ebb and gro bucket sysytem right before I switched to organics.

I'm not hydro anymore, but with shipping costs and such, it is probably cheapest to buy at a local hydro shop. If you don't have any, check out plantlightinghydroponics.com, or wormsway.com, or horticulturesource.com.

Your local hydro store will be the cheapest, or local gardening center etc... You can buy Hydroton online but a 50L bag weighs like 40-50 Lbs and is quite big, so shipping makes it pointless to buy online. Glad everyone steered you away from the pearlite thought

What's it with you and mold prevention? Its been in a couple of your threads. Keep a clean room environment, and keep humidity between 40-60% and you'll have no mold. Temperature doesnt impact mold much, its that as temps go up, so does humidity naturally, hence the mold. Control the humidity and you'll be perfectly fine, I swear!
