Has anyone found that larger rocks of perlite doesnt get the humidty that high compared to the finer type?

Mine is kind of chunky but perlite gives me tons of humidity either way.

Its like the shit at the top of the bag vs. the shakey shit at the bottom, it all works great.

Actually, the large should work better. Make sure you have no standing water in order to get maximum humidity from perlite.

Put it into a collander (aka pasta strainer) and run water through it so it is nice and soaked, give it a couple of jiggles to let it drain a bit.

Not for perlite humidification it doesn't come close to the same amount of surface area. As for PMP Geolite is less messy and my be better suited but perlite works fine here too. As RR said larger is better without a doubt! GL
