perlite supports air flow i am pretty sure...but I would say what is the big rush? what does it matter if you feed once a week and water once a week the next week? or are you dying to use more water?

You could add a large proportion of perlite to your medium. I saw someone on here doing a complete perlite grow and they said the only downfall was having to constantly water. Sounds like this is right up your alley.

I still don't understand it...as long as you consistently alter watering and feeding how will you underfeed? I only feed my FF nutrients once every other week and they are not underfed?

If you want to feed that often effectively you should go hydro. What you describe is a step on the way ;O) - add some clay balls to air it all up a bit - if you added a LOT of clay ball you could water like 3 times each day if that's what you want to do - but that's like .. hydro ;O)
