Watering and fertilizing question

I had a similar problem in fabric pots with the ffof and found out that it was lacking enough perlite so I add 20% more perlite to all my pots and it’s smooth been a smooth sail

The perlite helps it dry faster? It would seem like it would retain water but I guess it's worth a try on the next batch.
You'd think something like sand would help it drain faster and let it breath more.

Yes the perlite helps dry faster since it’s mainly oxygen it retains water better allowing for better drainage

OK, thanks, I'll give it a try.
