    Yes - any added aeration tool will help roots penetrate the medium quicker but it's a happy medium too. Perlite, pumice, rice hulls, buckwheat hulls and cocoa hulls all do the job well.

    A happy nutritious soil is first and foremost though...

    Most growers add 20% - 30% Perlite to their bagged soils .

    totally need some sort of aeration like perlite/rice hulls/etc. to make sure your roots can thrive. basically the roots need oxygen, so aeration will allow the roots to breathe better and grow healthy and strong.

    I use to add perlite to my FF ocean forest but, it made the soil dry out a bit too quickly for my tastes in a fabric pot.
