I am sure it has been discussed before but I am not getting many hits when searching for hydroton, etc...
After doing research and watching a few video's of which my favorite is Mr. Green I have decided to try a flood and drain system for the flowering phase of my first grow.
Now, it looks really easy to germinate plants in 1" rockwool cubes and transfer them into 4" rockwool cubes without much stress. After that it looks easy to surround them with hydroton in a flood and drain setup as long as the RW cubes are at least 1/2" higher than the flood level.
The only trouble I have read about is the possiblity of the rockwool getting saturated with water and preventing root growth.
Is there a similar material to rockwool that works better in this type of setup?
Thanks in advance
