Im growing in 5 gallon pots right now and would like to water at least twice a week so i can feed, water, feed but my pots dont dry out for 5 or 6 days....

I dont want to over water so what do you guys thing i was thinking perlite but im not sure if that hold more air or more water.:?::?:
 
perlite supports air flow i am pretty sure...but I would say what is the big rush? what does it matter if you feed once a week and water once a week the next week? or are you dying to use more water?
 
i want to feed more often but i cant just feed feed feed for fear of salt build up so i need to feed water feed water but i can only do that once a week so my plants are not getting enough nutes. it tough either over water or under feed
 
You could add a large proportion of perlite to your medium. I saw someone on here doing a complete perlite grow and they said the only downfall was having to constantly water. Sounds like this is right up your alley.
 
If you want to feed that often effectively you should go hydro. What you describe is a step on the way ;O) - add some clay balls to air it all up a bit - if you added a LOT of clay ball you could water like 3 times each day if that's what you want to do - but that's like .. hydro ;O)
