so probably somewhat like the drip system except every like 5-6 hours i give it a spray or two just to keep it wet but not too wet. I know perlite just lets water literally run right through it even though it gets a little bit wet letting it go a few days without watering seems like a long time unless your using a hempy bucket or something then i could understand since there would be more perlite to hold water

Lol alright for watering i take you regular everyday spray bottle and spray like 1-2 times every like 5-6 hours. Sometimes more sometimes less but like it said shes never wilted or looked under watered. I feed her every 3 days i spray it like 4-5 times when i feed so then most the day that day i dont water it again. Thats about all there is to the watering, i pulled some weeds in my yard and tore off their roots and put in my water to help the weed growth they seem to like it so far.

...once your plants start to grow larger, I believe your going to have problems keeping up with their moister requirements. Typically, growers that use straight perlite are in a hydroponic setup on flood tables, drip systems, or dwc....the perlite is used just as hydroton or anyother hydro growing medium, but just as most of the grow rocks, they will dry out often and need very, very frequent waterings/feedings.....anywho, good luck to ya.

Foliar feeding will not cut it for flower, also will lead to mold on the buds if not done correctly.

I have tryed perlite with good results, if you water once a day! If you add vermiculite in a 50/50 perlite you can
Get great results.

Plain perlite will dry out fast and you should use large buckets thos little one will not cut it
