Amendment Perlite
Perlite is a volcanic glass amendment commonly incorporated into cannabis growing media to improve aeration and drainage. In cultivation contexts, perlite particles are mixed into soil, coco coir, or hydroponic systems to create air pockets that reduce compaction and support root development. The material is inert, pH-neutral, and does not break down over extended growing cycles. Breeders and cultivators working with genetics that require particular substrate conditions often reference perlite amendments when documenting phenotype expression across different media. Perlite's role is structural rather than nutritive, making it a standard component in baseline growing protocols where genetic traits are being observed.

When documenting phenotype stability across growing environments, breeders note perlite-amended media as a standard control variable. Consistent media structure helps isolate genetic expression from substrate-related variables, supporting clearer lineage comparisons.
