It expanded and killed it? Are you sure?

lol how can that happen

Xare · Nov 30, 2008

As most of us know, perlite does not expand.

Show us some pics of what you have done ;p

ganjaman13 · Nov 30, 2008

you need to check that partner perlite neither expands or retains water vermiculite does

unforgiven1420 · Nov 30, 2008

you throw some kind of foam pellets in there thinking it was perlite?

brasmith · Nov 30, 2008

Are you sure it was the perilite?

brasmith · Nov 30, 2008

Because I say the Butler killed the plants.

growwwww · Nov 30, 2008

you sure it was perlite? i know you can get fuse powder and blocks which is in white pellet cubes.... that stuff + flame = Dead plants.....
other than that cant see how perlite will kill ur plants...

probably added to much water and turned it to mush suffocating the roots and drowning the plants

you cant just blame it on the butler

what did he use
what room was it in
answer me that eh!

well these little clear jelly cubes came out of nowhere pushing the soil up and out the pot and i havent seen them until i started using perlite. they only appear when i make a greenhouse for each pot with a plastic bag

He was in the damn grow room with a bucket of water......an he had motive, it was a crime of passion, jealousy.

Sounds to me like you have soil moist crystals in there vs perlite. They will kill your plant. House plants do ok with those water crystals but not the mj. Make sure what you baught was PURE perlite with no additives.

i got this perlite from home depot

Sounds like the soil already had some moisture control in it. What soil did you use?
