You're probably right, my head is stuck in coco mode lately.50% perlite - ya the problem is you have a very low moisture mix and arent watering it enough.
Also peat moss - this is unfertilized, do you mean soil or peat moss? Peatmoss and perlite will need fertilizer from the start, soil wont.

Spasmoos,
You rinsed the peat moss thoroughly? Squeezed out all the water you could?
Added a little lime? Peat moss's ph is pretty damn low usually. Ph 4.5ish
