Idk the going rate there, or the amount of tax your required to pay. But here in Maine, caregivers are allowed 30 plants for their patients, and $200/oz seems to be the going rate.

The way I see it, is use whatever works! They all do about the same thing and availability always counts when price and performance are same or closeā¦ 
maybe a little more than that now that fuel prices are high and biden and crew are shutting down alot of solvent productionā¦ iso/h202 prices will be skyrocketing too. nutrients, grow pots, etc, anything made with fossil fuels.

I only found perlite one place locally the rest were sold out and it was over twice the amount I paid last year so I ordered online and saved 20 bucks . To me 50 bucks for a bag of perlite is high . Idk maybe Iām just a tight wad.

perlite is bad news anyways, it never goes awayā¦ pumice and rice hulls are the futureā¦

Good point , didnāt even think of the mold , I was looking at the aspect of it breaking down in the soil
coco coir and chunk, and most home brewery shops carry rice hull or malted barelyā¦ great alternative to perlite as well

None of those type of shops around here lol
i tried it in a living organic and in a week i had moldā¦ not the good fungus you wantā¦ it soaked and held moisture a little too well, couldnt get enough air into my soil bc it mushedā¦ it nearly fd off my last run lolā¦ .specially if youre growing indoor. 10/10 wouldnt recommend unless you got some time to monitor your soil saturation
