So I'm researching the capillary action of lava rocks, perlite, hydroton, etc for a passive hydro SoG in 1 gallon fabric pots.
I have been coming up with a bunch of contradictory information. Ed Rosenthal says in his book Ask Ed that perlite has no capillary action. Reputable information indeed! However, a manufacturer website says otherwise. Does anyone have first hand experience with using perlite in a passive wicking hydro system? Will the capillary action of the pots be enough to stimulate the capillary action of perlite?
