You keep advocating those too small pebbles to use....... Dont waste the cash! Holding 150% of their weight in water? Pfffft. It isnt supposed to hold anything at all.
It is NOT a better solution in *any* way shape or form!

you will love it bro i was blown away kick myself in the ass all the time for not trying it sooner. im thinking about running smart pots inside of the top bucket of the ebb and flow to make it easier for cleanup after. also trying different types of coco for each one to see what does better as far as drainage etc. i used botanicare coco for this first test and it stays wet for a while kinda hard to judge when to do feedings

sorry kitty but you didn't even have a clue about silicas now you're telling me I wasted MY money? And I think the whole purpose of a medium is to retain water, if it retains no water you're plant would be dead.You keep advocating those too small pebbles to use....... Dont waste the cash!

The medium isnt supposed to retain water. Its a selling point of Hydroton, in fact. Rockwool is great, but not *intended* for bucket growers. Its meant for flood trays and works great in those. Sadly, they are prone to salt buildup in bucket systems, so you have to plan on flushing every few weeks with fresh water. Pretty annoying for a medium you cant re-use and have to throw away a few dollars per plant worth every harvest. Your water-retaining-rocks that are so small they fit through the holes are too dense to allow proper root growth, it's like overpacking a bowl, cant smoke it clogged! I appreciate that you may be offended, but it is just the truth on how the system is designed and properly maximized, nothing more........
While pores in Hydroton *do* retain *moisture*, they dont retain globs of water for any extended period of time whatsoever. Its a clean flush every time.
If I'm mistaken on any area, please do correct! I believe everything I type to be factual otherwise I wouldnt type it...... Dont mean I'm right every time though!
