I treat it as inert, I reckon its shit, but I used it for a few years and got some good results ?

Fucking Perlite pisses me off

It goes through a chemical change ...whether Largely or Minimally it is still a chemical change .....Thus making it Non Inert.

Should have stayed how it once was ,,only for adding to dirt in a veg -gardenpatch ..but dollars and marketing changed all that.

Coco coir is considered inert, or without nutrients, because it only has trace amounts of essential minerals. Coir does typically have high amounts of potassium and phosphorus, but because it only contains trace amounts of calcium, chlorine, copper, iron, magnesium, boron, manganese, nitrogen, and zinc, it often requires nutrient supplementation.

Yeh screw all those commercial growers doing our tomatoes, cucumbers roses etc. in coco they obviously fell for marketing as well hehe

Coco is technically not an inert media, but it's preferential CEC can be managed very easily

Perlite is good inert media, but i'd be going rockwool over it personally

 

[Pedro de pacas]

Air is a good inert medium

You should try HPS, I've heard plants love a real grow light

Even outside of horticultural use, coco coir is considered an inert medium or "support" for solid state fermentation/production of various microbes... In this study, Cyclosporin A

Nah they don't like salt. Being the master you consider yourself you should know that.
