Answered: Do you need perlite in coco or not.
Alright folks I’m goin to get goin with a couple in coco this time round. And I’m wondering how many add perlite to coco and does it provide any Benefits. Or could I just throw in some clay pebbles and it do the same job. ? Cheers.

No need for clays or perlite in coco...Buy canna coco pro plus, that's all you need no pre conditioning or amended needed..

Before I recently bought canna coco plus I actually read a quote from BL saying not to pack it down too tight as it gives the roots more of a struggle when reaching out. Good job because I would have put a boxing glove on to pancake the coco layers when filling the pots lol

I find perlite helps in seedling and early veg. It seems a faster with a 50/50 perlite coco

I used perlite when I first started with coco,now its pure coco except in a hempy then I put perlite at the bottom and the rest pure coco.

Perlite in coco is not essential but won't hurt anything if you do use it
Make sure to rinse it thoroughly before adding if you do.
NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

Would it make any difference if I just used a bit of clay pebbles. Is it purely for aeration ? Ordered coco before. Don’t think I’m goin to bother with the perlite thanks for all the comments folks.

Coco has excellent drainage Uv How many are you doing mate? Try half with added clay pebbles and half without, I would be surprised if there was any difference.Originally Posted by Uv123_4
Think I will do a cindy jock a Dutch passion lemon zkittle and a rqs northern lights. 11L pots. I will prob put a layer at bottom and maybe a couple handfuls through pot. Not loads though. Coco went down in price by about a pound over night on Amazon. Prime

Are you buying Canna pro+ Uv? it's one of the best available, with Canna A+B it's very straight forward. Just be aware that a lot of other coco has high sodium, and needs a lot of rinsing, then buffering. Best to use Canna pro + or Plant Magic coco.
