Cannabis can be grown in many different growing mediumssubstrates, each with differing aeration, water retention, and pH.
 
== Substrate qualities ==
Perlite is a derivative of volcanic glass that can be added to soil or coco coir to increase aeration, by keeping the soil less compact. It also holds a lot of moisture. Perlite should be wet before use as it can easily spread dust
 
== Transplanting (potting up) ==
==== Mycorrhizal Fungi ====
Transplanting is the process of transfering the cultivar from one subtrate to another, generally to a larger volume of substrate. Potting up is a process that can be carried out on any plant, whether auto or photo. If timed correctly it can be used to increase the density of the root zone and increase yield<ref>Transplanting Cannabis Plants: Why, When & How - https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/transplanting-cannabis-plants-why-when-how/</ref>.
Some fungi can live symbiotically with the plant's root system, they consume some glucose created by the plant while increasing nutrient uptake. Some soil mixes come with myco already added, you can buy it separately and combine with your medium, or it can be added to the medium in the hole where a plant will be transplanted.
