Thank you Hellmans. I can change retention rates considerably by adding vermiculite or diatomaceous earth at 5%-10%. The young plants have been happy, either way, but we're talking my basement as opposed to a 90 degree day and 10% humidity outside.

Of course by adding to the HP I'm diminishing it's foolproof aspect of being nearly impossible to over-water.
