I can only agree with Hashy's opinion on that. Perlite is cheap, relatively easy to obtain, and has a positive effect on root ventilation. However, it is not essential; personally, I wouldn't want to do without it. A good alternative is supposed to be vermiculite. However, I have no experience with vermiculite. Because: Vermiculite is many times more expensive than perlite. At least here in our area 😅

20L bag is 6$. And has everything in it you need and no need to mix up and it's already done. You can apply nutrient to it straight away and really simple to flush with regular water feedings you won't get toxic soil salt build up. Good luck.

If you just get a 20L bag of biobizz light mix soil it has perlite and there biobizz coco mixed in with it. It's as close as you can get to coco with 100^ soil benefits for enzymes and mostiure retention. Good luck bro.

I personally think the perlite is worth adding. Quite a few brands like biobizz have it mixed into the soil already. It helps with aeration for the roots.

It's called Perlite helps with aeration in your medium. You don't need it you could use other things for aeration in your medium like rice hulls. Rice hulls also offer silica for your plants which is awesome. Cheers!
