Perlite

Can I use perlite for sowing seeds. Also if the answer is yes do I stand the 2 inch pots in a small amount of water or will the pot become waterlogged.

Hi Bob,
We suggest using special seedling plugs or pots to start your seedlings, not perlite. See this page for a nice guide to seed starts, http://www.hydroponics-simplified.com/hydroponic-seeds.html.

Hope this helps!
