What's been a great help to me, regarding my own concern about growth rate, is to check out the early progress of those who've documented the process on growdiaries.com. Here's somebody's Alaskan Purple in its first week. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/441...ple-auto-grow-journal-by-weedawan/week/209609
Yeah, there is 4" layer of perlite on the bottom and sand to top it off. The sand is 3 inches thick and keeps the perlite weighted down nicely.

That's very cool. I'm thinking about getting one of these sub irrigated planters from HD sometime down the road. https://www.homedepot.com/p/CITY-PI...em-and-Casters-in-Terra-Cotta-2340D/202563845
Ah that's pretty cool. I think I have a total of 15 dollars for everything I used. Not bad. The only thing I see that may bug me is having to cut those roots that will come out the bottom.
I've got it sitting on metal screen , hoping when the roots grow I can simply spin the pot to purne the roots. Idk I'll see how that works.

Yeah, I was wondering how you'd deal with those. Can't you just add more sand?
No, the bottom of the pot will be a bit more moist than the rest of the soil. The roots will grow through the fabric, following the water. Only way to keep roots from growing in the sand is to prune ever so often via metal screen I hope.
