That should be fine. You can probably get away with the ec going a little higher than that, as perlite is completely inert, so all teh plant gets is what you give it.
Its VITAL that you thoroughly wash perlite grows out every 2 weeks - 10 mins with a showerhead at the top, with lukewarm water - perlite is a bastard for retaining crystallised nutrient salts on its surface, and if you don't do that then you will most likely end up with root problems
Thanx OMH,i will up the ec to 1.40 now cos they seem to be a yellowy green.I just hope its not an fe problem again.Thanx!!Bav!!
