someone was trying to tell me perlite effects the flavor or marijuana and makes it harsher. i think its bullshit, perlite is great for drainage and holding water at the same time. i dont see how perlite can even have a flavor other than maybe rock or dirt. besides that, many debate fox farm ocean forest is the best soil and it's loaded with perlite. if it affected flavor so much, i don't think they would add it. i googled and found no info on it affecting flavor. anyone want to back me up or is there some information out there that im unaware of? thanks!
As pointed out, the fact that it is inert is what answers the question of flavor. It's basically glass that has been super heated, and glass doesn't break down under most circumstances, so is ignored by the plant. It only effects the consistency and hydro properties of your soil/medium.
